We took Chewy on a number of hikes in Acadia National Park. The first was around Lower Hadlock Pond, a 1.6 mile easy/moderate loop. The ground was soft and cushy, covered in layers and layers of fallen pine needles.

| Packed and ready to go! (Chewy's hiking essentials: water + treats) |
Lower Hadlock Pond, like many ponds in the park, is used as a water supply, so no swimming is allowed. Chewy was not too pleased about this, and tried really hard to get into the water.

| Come on, let's go swimming! |
Eventually, he settled for the mud puddles that were along the trail.
There were lots of things to admire on the hike:
 |
| Chewy-sized pine trees! |
 |
| Fat, stout mushroom |
 |
| Part-frog tadpoles look weird. |
Chewy loved walking across the planks and bridges...
 |
| Any fishies for dinner? |
