Dog Lovers: Take Fido for a Guided Walk On Basking Ridge Equestrian Trails

The bitter cold won’t stop Fido from scratching at the door. Is your furry friend getting bored of the daily romp around the backyard? Strap on those paw booties and head outside to Lord Stirling Park in Basking Ridge, where dogs can walk their owners on guided trails.

Saturday Dog Walks on the trails at the Lord Stirling Stable grounds in Basking Ridge are now running on the later Fall/Winter schedule. These sanctioned Dog Walks offer participants the only opportunity to explore the beautiful equestrian trails of Lord Stirling Stable on foot.

Check-in time for owners and their pets will begin every Saturday at 10:15 a.m. The guided trail walk will commence at 10:30 a.m. and last for about one hour.

The Friends of Lord Stirling Stable host the weekly event on the Stable grounds, located at 256 South Maple Avenue. The stable is part of Lord Stirling Park at the Somerset County Park Commission.

Registration is $3 per dog and all pets must be leashed and kept under control at all times. For more information, contact Martha at 973-635-8672. For directions, call Lord Stirling Stable at 908-766-5955.
