The Bass River State Forest hosts two hikes in March; the first is the popular “Walk With Your Dog” with volunteer Master Naturalist Kathy Gardiner on Saturday, March 7. Meet Gardiner by 9 a.m. at the forest office parking lot, Stage Road in Bass River Township. This is a free, moderate hike of 3 to 5 miles. Dogs must be on a leash at all times. There is a limit of 15 dogs, but if you are without a dog you are welcome to join the group. Bring water for you and your dog. Heavy rain cancels.
