[quote=Anonymous]Where I live (Colorado) there is a lot of hiking and several off leash dog hiking areas (as well as a large fenced dog park that is about 8 acres). Only one "trail" does not allow dogs (Manitou Incline - not safe for dogs to be on anyway!) and the rest allow dogs on leashes or have areas where dogs are allowed off leash.

From what I remember when I was in DC/MD parks will have leash laws. If you can find a hiking area that is not a park, it's possible they allow dogs to be off leash.

I have a very mild mannered 2 year old rescue that I hope to hike off leash with, but for now we've been practicing at the dog park instead (she responds well to come here and this way). Speaking from personal experience hiking while having a dog on a leash is a pain, especially if it is a very physical hike.

Anyway - here's what a quick Google search came up with, maybe these will help?
