RAIN OR SHINE
Allaire Village is a charming historic village and State Park in
Monmouth County, Central Jersey; just minutes from major highway Rte
195.
DIRECTIONS: From Route 195 take exit 16 B (follow large signs for
Alliare State Park) to Route 547 North for less than 1/2 mile, then turn
right onto Route 524 go one mile to main park entrance on right. Please
park in the Nature Center lot, which is the first parking area on
the right.
We will gather under the trees at the back of the lot and leave for our
walk at 11:15. Note: the rest rooms are at the end of the main parking
lot, please use them prior to parking in the Nature Center lot. For any
dog who wants to pull a cart, there are concrete sidewalks, two wooden
bridges, but mostly wide dirt and stone roads through the woods.
A few notes: this is a nature preserve; leave nothing behind but
footprints. Doggie clean up bags will be made available to everyone,
please use them. Horses have the right of way, so you must yield to any
you see. No picking flowers/or harming vegetation. There is no formal
rest stops along the route, but you are welcome to walk, stop, chat or
whatever along the way.
After our walk, we will have a brief talk about first aid for dogs,
along with a handout list of necessities for a kit and information on
other important medical subjects.
Note: although there is camping available at the park, they do NOT allow
dogs.
