Watering Holes

Places To Get The Pup Wet

In the summer months Sophie tends to overheat on some of our hikes so like to find hikes that give her a chance to cool. Here’s a collection of some of our favorites.


Hanging Rock
Dan River Near Hanging Rock State Park

It’s a bit of a drive and can be crowded on weekends, but still one of our favorites.

Franklinville
Franklinville, NC

A couple of nice swimming holes a little off the beaten path.

Pebble Beach
Pebble Beach, High Rock Lake

This small beach on High Rock Lake is one of the few pubic beaches in the area that allows dogs.
