It's almost ski season...

There's still many warm and sunny days ahead of us, but with the recent cool weather we start thinking about snow.  We'll still be at the short and temporary Wanoga trail location this year, but we're working on locations for a "real trail."  Kreg bought a new groomer implement with tracksetter -- so we'll have classic tracks this year and we'll be able to groom through spring conditions, such as we had this past January (warm days without new snow).  Enjoy the late summer and autumn, but start doing the snow dance in October...

Volunteer!

Now that we have 7 off-leash areas (OLAs), we need to ensure they're successful. What can you do to help? Volunteer! There are volunteers for each OLA, and DogPAC and Bend Park and Recreation District welcome more. The commitment is flexible, and this is a chance to "give back" while you're already at the OLAs.  Contact Kim Johnson at Parks and Rec for more info.

Etiquette

The more we practice good dog etiquette, the stronger our case for access. We'll develop more specific etiquette guides for trails, dog parks, etc. In the meantime, here are some general tips to get started.
