🐾🐕‍🦺 YOU CAN’T SEE THIS ANYWHERE ELSE! 🌊🐾

Did you know that right here in our corner of NEPA, you can meet canine lifeguards?! 🤯🐕‍🦺

recently featured the Dog Lifeguards of Beltzville Lake in their GO WILD with DiscoverNEPA YouTube series—and these incredible Newfoundland dogs aren't just adorable…they're trained water rescue dogs! ❤️

The American Academy of Canine Water Rescue is the nation’s only canine water rescue unit, making this a truly unique experience you won’t find anywhere else in the United States!

And this one is especially close to my heart because Owner Carolee LOVES Newfoundlands so much that she has one of her very own! 🥰🐾

📍 Beltzville State Park is only about 19 miles from The Village at Houser’s Crossing, so it's an easy addition to your Village getaway!

And while you're there, there's plenty to do:

🥾 Hike the scenic trails
🌊 Swim at the lake
🛶 Kayak & canoe
🏄‍♀️ Go stand-up paddleboarding
🚤 Get out on the water
🎣 Fish
🌲 Explore the beautiful outdoors

But let's be honest…how many places can you go where you can watch a Newfoundland save someone from the water?! 😂🐕‍🦺🌊

If you're a dog lover, outdoor lover, or just someone who loves discovering experiences you can't find anywhere else, Beltzville State Park absolutely belongs on your list when you stay with us.

🎥 Watch DiscoverNEPA’s “Dog Lifeguards of Beltzville Lake” and see these four-legged heroes in action! https://youtu.be/Dm5cCPBtHYc?si=hasRoEMKDlgXjGe5

Then come back to The Village, slow down, relax by the river, and enjoy everything else that makes our little corner of NEPA special. ❤️
