3 Reasons Your Dog Wants to Visit Webster County

Does your best friend spend their time chewing on bones and digging up the back yard? Are they covered in hair and chase squirrels on sight? Then you've probably been counting down the days until National Dog Day! Yes, there is even a day committed to that extra special pup in your life, and why not? We've put together some ideas to get outdoors in Webster County and give your furry friend some serious bonding you'll enjoy and they'll love you for.

1. Go For A Dip – There are few things that can stand in the way of a dog and a body of water, regardless of size, whether it be a puddle or an ocean... one thing is for certain, they want to be in it. From Big Ditch Lake to the Williams and Elk River in Webster County – your furry friend has plenty of options to cool down.

2. Take a Hike – Holly River State Park sits on over 8,100 acres of pristine forest and wilderness landscape, steeped with trails galore raging from "easy-breezy" to "maybe I should've come more prepared." Whether you are looking for a calming romp around the woods or stomping up heights of over 2,800 ft to catch the sunset, we promise it'll be well worth the trip, even if you and your dog find yourself with your tongues hanging out panting.

3. Grab a Sweet Treat – If you ask anyone who has worked in an ice cream shop who their best customers are, it'll go something like kids, dogs, and then everyone else. Webster County is home to a wide range of ice cream joints that will happily serve any customer with up to four legs. Spoil them a little – after all, they'd hold your cone for you if they could too!
