Dog River Trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can hike it just one way. This region does get very dry sometimes, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. Dog River Trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole backpacking trail. The total elevation difference for this backcountry trail is 1,302 feet which is an average number. This is not a very long great outdoors hiking trail but it's always perfect to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. With its 4.6 miles of walking distance it's an average length backpacking trail. The time needed for this walk is roughly 4 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that.
