If you’re looking for the best places to walk with your dog in the Eastern Townships, here are seven very welcoming places for you to enjoy.
Here dogs are not only allowed or tolerated, they are very welcome! In Au Diable vert's immense playground you can take absolutely any trail you want with your dog whether on a leash or not. If you opt for their pod formula or you wish to lodge in their tree shelters, know that you can stay here with your trusting companion!
Parc d’environnement naturel de Sutton has four summits, two lakes, two ponds, magnificent panoramic views and no less than 52 km of marked trails maintained all year round! Within this natural jewel, dogs are admitted everywhere except when you arrive at the “Réserve naturelle des Montagnes-Vertes” trails. However, we are sure you’ll have enough terrain to explore so not to feel left out.
Covering the municipalities of Eastman, Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton, Bolton-Est and Canton Potton, Sentiers Missisquoi Nord (missisquoinord.com) trails constitute a little known-about treasure of the Memphremagog MRC. Your dog is welcome everywhere in this network of trails, as long as he’s on a leash, of course. You’ll be able to explore this great territory accompanied by your four-legged friend as you walk on the trails. Make getting around easier by uploading their trail map.
Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises marsh , this Magog area gem, nestled between Parc du Mont-Orford and Lake Memphremagog, invites its visitors to hike through four nature environments (woodlands, marshes, wetlands and bogs). Having received a major facelift, the trails, set on piles, take you through the bogs and marshes, while offering amazing views of Mount Orford. What’s really great is that dog lovers can take their dogs on a leash on all the trails of this breathtaking bio diversified environment!
At only 15 kilometres from Sherbrooke the Johnville Bog & Forest Park offers an extremely diversified ecosystem with its bogs, its ponds and its 5.8 km of walking trails. You’ll be able to observe, with your dog on a leash, a most remarkable fauna and flora. Also, thanks to several informational panels, you’ll learn a lot about the biodiversity of this rich ecological heritage.
One week-end each month (from Friday to Monday included), you can invite your four-legged friend climb the fabulous trails of the Mont-Ham Regional Park, located in Ham-Sud. This "small" mountain of 713 meters offers you a grand panoramic view at its summit.
Whether in Yamaska National Park, Frontenac, Mont-Orford or Mont-Mégantic, there are several trails where dogs are allowed on a leash. Be careful, however, to check carefully before going on a hike since these places can vary from one season to another. All the details on the SÉPAQ website.
