Outdoor Bound is in its 24th year of offering quality excursions from Manhattan! Active New Yorkers have long enjoyed Hiking, Canoeing, Kayaking, XC Skiing and Snowshoeing with us. We've added great trips like Horseback Riding & Art Gallery Tours, Wine Tastings, and Hike & Hound! We scout out the best trails, the most scenic routes and the friendliest, most knowledgeable guides to ensure your day-long adventure is fantastic. This winter, we will add Downhill Skiing and Winter Horseback Riding & Wine Tasting! Best of all, we strive to keep all our trips affordable--enjoying nature with like-minded people shouldn't cost you your shirt! We do this because we love it, not to make the bucks. Our participants range in age from mid 20s to 50s, with most in their 30s. Every trip promises a diverse, interesting mix of individuals, many of whom are longtime clients. We welcome all skill levels; as well as being experienced, our guides are Licensed by the State of New York and fully insured. All trips include round-trip transportation and all applicable trail fees, tolls & taxes. We also offer private trips. Tour our site to find the trip that suits you--or try something new. Whatever the season, it's great to Get Out of Town with Outdoor Bound!

Leashes and Lovers is Where Dog Lovers Meet.

People who love dogs are a "special breed" and our mission is to connect you with "real people" who love dogs as much as you -- online and in person. We founded this company in 2003 with this idea in mind.

Dog lovers stand out from the pack. We are friendly, loyal, open, and fun! And, like dogs, we come in all sizes, colors and ages, but all in all, we have common ground -- a love of dogs.

Leashes and Lovers welcomes all dog lovers with and without dogs -- single, committed or married. Whether you're looking for friends, a relationship, and/or resources to find dog-friendly products and services to suit you and your best friend's needs, this is the place to be.

We support all dogs and their owners and encourage adoption from shelters. Through your participation, we donate to animal organizations in need.
