Calling all greyhounds (and owners) that enjoy a nice walk in the woods!

Join us every Sunday morning at 9 AM at Wawayanda State Park in Hewitt, NJ for a hike on the many trails the park has to offer.

We meet in the first parking lot at the main entrance off Warwick Turnpike near the Ranger Station.

Walks are normally two to three hours and we typically walk in the woods for at least half the trip. We walk in almost all weather condition so dress yourself and your hound appropriately.

You may call Jim Thompson at 973-229-7171 or jpt03@earthlink.net for more information.
