Description

Some of the best trail guides we've met walk on four legs.

We're meeting a group of the cutest rescue dogs from our friends at a local rescue for a 7 km walk along the winding Muskoka River. It's a good escape from the city, and an equally exciting day out for the dogs.

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 (to the dogs, please do not pet the humans) 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. 

The pace is relaxed and set by the dogs. If they're getting tired, we may shorten the route, so the full distance isn't guaranteed. 

$10 from every registration goes to the rescue to help them find forever homes for dogs in need.

To keep the dogs calm and focused, we can't allow personal pets on this one.

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.
