Dog Walks

The KDWA and the Hobart City Council encourage you to share the dog walking tracks and venues outlined in this web site. The safety of you and your dog and care of the environment are important. Some tips include:

  • Always let a responsible person know where you are going and approximate return time. Remember to let them know when you do return.

  • Wear sturdy walking shoes as tracks may be rough and uneven.

  • Carry a first aid kit suitable for you and your dog in case of emergencies.

  • Carry water for you and your dog.

  • Take rubbish and your dogs’ rubbish out with you.

  • Keep your dog under effective control and maintain courtesy towards other dogs, walkers, horses and other users of the tracks.

  • Do not allow your dog to chase, annoy or kill native or domestic animals.

  • Follow minimal impact bushwalking guidelines; stick to the track and avoid shortcuts, which can lead to track degradation.

  • Enjoy your outing, do not overtax yourself or your dog and be aware of fitness levels and capabilities

 

The following walks have been documented by volunteers and we hope to add more over time.  If you have any suggestions for walks, or better still, if you would like to submit a narrative for publication on this website, please contact the KDWA.
