Aug 2025 HNB @ Mass Preserve
Wheh, Summer Almost over…..
the last of our water walks, this one is a nice walk though a wooded trail to a nice
stream area locals call the DOG BEACH, its a fairly wide somewhat rocky and nice area
for the dogs to swim, wade or just stand in the water.
its generally a 20 minute walk to the dog beach at about 1 mile each way, afterward we
will be visit necromantic Brew Co. its glutton free beer and it does taste really good,
they always have some nice choices and or course more then just beer.
There’s also lots of food options in Farmingdale, we hope you can join us for one
or both of these great places, please feel free to ask any questions or concerns.

September 2025 HNB in Bethpage
Ahhh….
Our Famous NY Summer(s) are coming to a close and cooler weather will prevail,
which is great for us and our dogs. It also means we can expand our Hiking adventures
will always plan special upstate adventures (DM us for more info, we don’t always post
because of short notice).
But this month we will be going to Bethpage State Park, always a nice place to visit,
lots of great trails for hiking.
Afterward our plan is to visit Lithology Brewing, we our actually in contact with them
to open early for us and are waiting for them to confirm, but as a failsafe we can
return to Necromantic ( mere seconds / minutes from lithology )
Directions to Park Parking ( Note – This is now street parking due to lot closure)

October 2025 Hike-n-Brew in Woodbury
Yeah, Fall is in the Air and cooler weather prevails. We hope you are enjoying it we def our
as well as our pups. This Month we return to a less used fav, it gets used by some bike people
as well as te more used path across 25 from it.
As the usual the hike is about 2 miles and should proberly take about an hour, the trail is
basically a loop, there is some parking about 20ish spots, but there is a big shopping center
next door, so if the lot is full you can park there.
Afterward we will be going to Six Harbor Brewing Company, which is a fav that we
don’t go to enough mostly due to not enough places to hike on the north shore
and town traffic and parking can be rough.
As Always please feel free to ask any questions or concerns, we will post any updates here
and on our socials.
Thanks & Happy Trails

Nov 2025 HNB @ Hempstead Lake
Wow, Where did the year go….
Old Man Winter is Rearing his head and the fall weather is getting a bit cooler
hopefully we will have another mild winter. Regarding our 4-legged counterparts
need exercise and let be honest we somtimes need some beer.
Once again this time of year we go back to our first HNB 7 Years Ago, much has
changed since then, our Fouinding K9’s have since crossed over but we still carry-on
as they would want us to do. So as we usher in a new generation of K9’s and
share our experiances with new and old faces we still hike and share some local
brew afterward.
We hope you can join us for one of both of these events and thank all who Have
joined us in the past and welcome any who wish to join us in the future.
(remember you dont need a dog to join us, but we ask you enjoy thier company)

** UPDATE, the link should work fine for the Alternate parking Lot, but as a backup
here are actual directions form our local resident and hike leader for this event
From the Northen State, Take Exit 23 towards the CROSS ISLAND PKWY / UNION
pass cross island north / south, get into the right lane and you will see a sign
thats says “Alley Pond Exit Only”, take that exit if you hit Union Blvd you went too Far.
NOTE, the link is an actual Dropped pin from the parking lot, but due to Road work
being done in the area, there are road closures for the normnal way into the lot
Jan 2026 HNB @ San Souci
Crazy Thats it another Year already, we still miss our last founding K9 (fritz)
but his crazy brother is coming along nicley, maybe this year we can get him
on the paddle board.
Our first hike of the new year will be at a local fav on our way out east.
San Souci County park, always a nice hike we go on the south side around by
the girl scout camp (across the lake), this is a nice 2 mile loop and depending on
the group size about an hour.
Afterward we will be visiting a local fav brewery, 1940’s always great beer,
friendly staff and great atmosphere. (they even have pizza and pretzels) and
generlly a food truck on saurdays.
