There Are So Many Different Trails To Choose From. Some Are Pathed Others Are Off Path And Through The Woods. It Does Say To Keep Dogs On The Lead, But No One Actually Does. However, There Is A Likely Chance There Will Be Horses And Cyclists On The Route So You Probably Will Have To Put Dogs On The Lead In Those Situations.
