I have lived here my whole life and at least twice a week I bike run or just walk through Dog town. It ends up in Rockport close to the Train Station(Pending on Route). The surroundings are insiring for all to see. I dont think ill ever find a better place to enjoy. more

What a hike ! Dogtown is one of the most unbelievable places around here ! The scenery is straight out of another world: a moraine 10 million years old,carved boulders with "inspirational mottos", something to see for sure ! DO NOT leave witout a map and an ample supply of waer, you could get lost very easily. more
