Lunch break on hike to Strawberry Lake in Malheur NF<\/p><\/div>\n

On May 9th, the Merced News published an article title “Outdoors: A trail guide for a walk on the wild side.” \u00a0Nice article but what caught my attention was the bit about “A reader recently asked if I could recommend some campgrounds with a surprisingly difficult combination of features: \u00a0easy day hike trails adjacent to the campsties that allow hikers to bring along their dogs.”<\/p>\n

The author\u00a0acknowledged\u00a0about the only place to do this was in national forests. \u00a0Okay, the acknowledgement was indirect by admitting dogs aren’t permitted on trails in nation and California state parks then listing place it could be done. \u00a0But what a great reason to passby national and state parks and discover, along with your best buddy, a national forest near you.<\/p>\n

FYI: \u00a0The author identified five trails in four national forests relatively close to Merced, California but there are lots more possibility. \u00a0Check them out by going to ForestCamping.com<\/a> and than the forest’s web page. \u00a0We have noted the hiking trails adjacent to the campground under the Hiking heading on each campground’s Description. \u00a0Looking for more? \u00a0Go to the forest’s website via the Helpful Links drop-down menu at the top of each forest web page on our website. \u00a0A comprehensive listing is under their Recreation tab.<\/p>\n
