Calling all dog lovers! Gather at Hopeton Earthworks on Bark Ranger Day - Sunday, August 23rd – at 1 PM to discover the ancient beauty of this fantastic local earthwork site. Let your dog enjoy the fresh air and scenic trail alongside you, while you soak in the rich history and natural beauty of the site – interpreted by a friendly National Park Service Ranger. Make this park your next outing for you and your four-legged friend.  Receive a free Bark Ranger patch and sticker, while supplies last, for demonstrating responsible use of the NPS site alongside your canine companion!

Tour will last approximately an hour long over uneven, sloped terrain. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, water and a pair of sturdy hiking shoes or boots. For your dog, bring a leash (expect to keep your dog on that leash), water for your dog, and bags to pick up their waste.  There are no restrooms or drinking water at Hopeton Earthworks.

Caring for national parks is a shared responsibility. Visitors can support stewardship by volunteering, participating in park programs, following park rules, practicing responsible recreation, and supporting cooperating associations, Friends groups, and other park partners.
