Description

Join us for a spectacular spring hike through the Muskoka wilderness alongside some very special rescue pups!

We’ll meet our four-legged guides from a local rescue for a gentle 7 km journey along the winding Muskoka River. It is a rare chance to both get out of the city and give these dogs some well-deserved love & adventure.

The team from the rescue will join us to share stories about the dogs and the incredible work that goes into finding them forever homes. After the hike, we will offer plenty of head scratches before heading to a nearby waterfall for a peaceful lunch. It is the perfect setting to switch off and soak in the stillness of the woods.

This will be a relaxed three-hour walk on mostly flat terrain, accessible for various fitness levels. 

$10 from each registrant's adventure payment will be donated to the rescue to support them in their goal of finding good forever homes for dogs in need. 

Please note that to keep the rescue dogs calm and focused, we do not allow personal pets.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors. You'll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Who Else Will Be There
WU is aimed at a younger generation of outdoor lovers who don't see themselves represented in traditional hiking clubs and our members are typically 20-40 years old. Whether you're brand new to the outdoors or have plenty of experience, you'll find something for you.

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
