Rescue Cafe Adventure: Swansea Village Park
2023-08-26 09:30 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | Swansea Village Park, 69 Main Street, Swansea, MA, 02777, United States
This session:
Swansea Village Park

SVP is an Adventure Club favorite as it provides both natural and man made obstacles for both our 4-legged and 2-legged OutHounds. The Park is frequented by mountain bikers and NEMBA members have built various equipment that gives our four-legged adventure partners opportunities to practice typical Canine Agility skills such as seesaws, narrow bridges and climbing walls! Mother Nature hasn’t done a bad job either with all of the pudding stone and large outcroppings that gives the adventurous and sure-footed a view of the treetops. As always, not every obstacle is for everyone and no one is forced to make choices they aren’t comfortable with! However, even if you aren’t making the minor climbs, the ground can be slick and root covered. Who knew that all of this was behind the Swansea Library! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

**Adventures are held rain or shine.**
Terrain: Can be quite rocky and rooted. There opportunities for real Adventuring and Bouldering. Site is home to many great and large Puddingstone outcroppings!

You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, poop bags, water and snacks.
Parking: Paved lot behind library.

This session:
East Over Reservation/ Hales Brook
For Adventure Club originals, you may recall Hales Brook as one of the first Adventures baby Adventure Zip participated in her backpack. (We teach Adventure young around here!) It is wonderful property, that has a little bit of everything: forest trails, bogs, rock outcroppings, river views. It is a relatively flat property, but has some tricky footing in spots.

This session:
The Bogs

The Bogs has been a long time favorite destination for the Adventure Club, and it is even more exciting now that OHAC has renewed our collaboration with the Buzzards Bay Coalition! The predominantly flat and open trails are great for the beginning hiker, yet the beauty can be appreciated by all! Adventure Guide Tim does like to lead the group into the forest trail, which does boast a mild incline and some tricky footing, depending on the flood stage of the subsequent swamp. Although, even if we have to double back or risk the dryness of our socks, we always have a great time out here. (Check out our pictures from the spring!) This a great trail for just getting yourself (and your dog!) OUT and reconnecting with nature. Expect about 3-4 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

If you follow us on social media, you know that we are frequent flyers on DNRT trails, and we hope you will be too! Come join us twice this month on a beautiful DNRT property. What better way to kick off this collaboration by paying a visit to OHAC inaugural adventure (almost 5 years ago!): Little River Reserve! While the epic suspension bridge has been removed since then, Little River is still an OHAC favorite. Varied terrain, challenging footing and beautiful marsh views certainly makes this quite the Adventure! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our Standard Adventure!

Queer Hikes: Turner Reservoir
2023-07-30 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Turner Reservoir, 400 Pleasant St, Rumford, RI 02916, Rumford, RI, United States
Adventure Tadhg is going to be honest here: as a kid driving from Connecticut, over the Thames and thru Rhode Island to Nana’s house in Swansea–he didn’t think much of Seekonk outside of its strip malls and extensive shopping scene on Route 6. It wasn’t until he moved to Swansea himself that he began to discover and really appreciate the beauty of the Southcoast–Seekonk included! Turner Reservoir was always a fan-favorite of the first OutHound, Moses and OHAC is excited to join our Queer Hikes friends at a beautiful reserve right in our own backyard! Parking will actually be at a lot in Rumford, RI–and OHAC wouldn’t begrudge anyone who wants to seek out Seven Stars bakery pre or post hike!

This session:
Destruction Brook
Destruction Brook is certainly a popular and highly trafficked Dartmouth Natural Resource Trust gem with rocky and root covered paths and a few steep (yet quick) inclines. However, more than the terrain, navigating such a popular destination poses a whole different challenge for our Adventurers (2-legged and 4-legged OutHounds alike!) Let OutHounds Adventure Club help guide you on a safe and fun journey for all! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

2023-05-28 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Sakonnet Greenway Trail
This session:
Sakonnet Greenway, Middletown/Portsmouth RI
Here at OHAC, we value our mental health as much as our physical, and so it is fitting that Adventure Tadhg discovered this gem when he would drive home from his own visits to therapy! (No shame, no stigma!)
Starting at the Polo Grounds, the Greenway stretches over 10 miles of trails all the way to Newport Vineyards; passing thru wetlands and skirting the perimeter of Newport’s beautiful golf course. If heading in the opposite direction, you can get to “The Glen” with stunning water views and really cool wooded terrain. What an amazing use of public access!

This session:
DNRT Ridge Hill

Ridge Hill will live in OHAC lore for all time as our second ever hike brought quite the adventure! One of the neighborhood cattle made one of their all to frequent trips out of his paddock and down to the Ridge Hill parking lot just as we were shoving off! As we said then, sometimes you seek adventure and sometimes adventure finds you!
Ridge Hill also happens to be one of Adventure Tadhg’s favorite DNRT trails, but don’t advertise that too much or else everyone will start going there! Let’s save this gem for the Adventure Club! Path’s here are well cared for by volunteers and offer a little challenge for everyone. There are some steeper inclines and some rocks and roots that make for some tricky footing (especially closer to the reservoir). Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

This session:
Myles Standish
Myles Standish State Park’s Pine Barrens trail is an OutHounds favorite. This is a challenging 8 to 9 mile trail with steep inclines and beautiful views. You certainly feel “away from it all” OUT there. And we hope you join us! We will meet at the East Entrance (P4 on the the Myles Standish map and our destination).

This session:
Simmons Pond

Queer Hikes and OutHounds Adventures will be collaborating for monthly hikes at the end of every month! Join us for one of our favorites, Simmon’s Pond in Little Compton, RI.

Simmons Pond is certainly one of OHAC’s favorite Adventures. We suppose any tenderly cared for oasis that boasts tree cookies, 30 hidden birdhouses, trail magic, history lessons, and a sense of deep pride in a community’s land trust is worthy of “favorite” designation! Path’s here are wide and welcoming with minimal inclines. Parts of the trail can get not only muddy, but completely flooded–although this tends to be a Springtime occurrence. Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

This session:
Copicut Wildlife Management Area/ Fire Tower Trail
Simply labeling this Adventure “Copicut Woods” doesn’t quite do this justice, as very little time is actually spent in “Copicut Woods!” OutHounds Adventures have scouted out a couple of “off the beaten path” trails in recent sessions out this way, which we think are very much in the spirit of ADVENTURE! If you have ever wondered, “I wonder where that goes?” come join OutHounds Adventure Club–chances are, we know! This a great trail for just getting yourself (and your dog!) OUT and reconnecting with nature. What better way to spend a morning? Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
**Adventures are typically held rain or shine. Please check Facebook, Instagram and emails for severe weather cancellations.**

2023-03-04 10:00 - 11:30 UTC | Horseshoe Mill, 1 Station St, Wareham, MA, 02571, United States
This session:
Horseshoe Mill

Horseshoe Mill is a recent trail in the Buzzards Bay Coalition repertoire, and is quite the hidden gem!

Come check it out!

OutHounds Adventure and Training Academy, LLC and Queer Hikes is excited to announce that we are collaborating to bring you dog friendly Queer Hikes! Please join us for this inaugural Adventure.

There is a pleasant paved loop around a lake, but in true Adventure Club fashion, we seek out the trails frequented by mountain bikers and others with a more daring spirit! While we typically expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our Standard Adventure, don’t be too disappointed if it’s closer to three! Your quads won’t know the difference!
