Services

1 Hr Goat Walk, Cook's Pond Area. $40 per adult.

1 hr··$40

We will meet in the far rear parking lot of the Armstrong Ice Skating Rink, 103 Long Pond Rd., and walk with the goats in the Cooks Pond Wildlife Management Area. The meetup spot is a short drive off exit 13 (Rt. 3), and close to many businesses, but the woods are loved by the goats for the shrubs along the wide dirt pathway. The walk ends at Cook's Pond, which is scenic and natural. This area is frequently used by locals but is not a well trod walking area for most, making it feel private.
$40 per adult, $10 per kid ages 3-10. Free under 3. Cash is due at meet up. Venmo accepted as secondary option.
Meetup: Rear parking lot of 103 Long Pond Rd., where it meets the woods. Parking area will hold many cars unless there is a game or event at the skating rink.

1 Hr Goat Walk, Downtown Short walk: Covered Bridge and Town Brook. $40 per adult.

1 hr··$40

We will meet up in a small lot near 18 Billington St., Plymouth near the small covered pedestrian bridge that crosses Plymouth's historic Town Brook. Then we will walk easterly alongside the Town Brook with the four piglet goats as they munch acorns, pine needles and commit acts of property destruction to fancier trees and shrubs. In summer this walk will be fairly short, to avoid large crowds. We will walk to Willard Place, then walk back to the covered bridge. This is only about 3/4 of a mile total, but this can still take up to an hour. This could be a good option for those wanting a slow, relaxing pace. Most of this walk is sand or dirt, but not very much soft sand.
Meetup: 18 Billington St. Parking lot holds 3-4 cars.
$40 per adult, $10 per kid ages 3-10. Free under 3. Cash is due at meet up. Venmo accepted as secondary option.

1 Hr Goat Walk, Busy Bike Trail! $40 per adult.

1 hr··$40

This is one of our favorite walks! Do be advised, though, this option is best during off-peak hours like weekdays, or early mornings. The bike trail is fully paved and very flat. It runs alongside the sea, and goes from Lothrup St near downtown, to Hedge Rd. in North Plymouth. This would be the best option for anyone who depends on a wheelchair for mobility or strollers. (We goat wranglers would be happy to help with this.)
$40 per adult, $10 per kids ages 3-10. Free under 3. Cash is due at meet up. Venmo accepted as secondary option.
The bike trail is about 1.5 miles each way in its entirety but can be shortened or lengthened to suit your needs. Parking can be tricky so its best to consult with the Google My Map below, choose from 1 of the 6 places along the walk to park at, and then communicate when you have found a parking spot.

About

Take a walk with Bubba, Rex, Nellie and Stacy!
We wanted to offer a unique experience in our beloved home town that is different from just eating and drinking. Although we love to go out to eat and drink. When our goats were young, we realized they would walk in a herd with us. Walking with them provided us with a sense of calm and helped us tune in to nature in a way that we find therapeutic. We would love to share this with you! The gift of this unique experience has proven satisfying for tourists, birthday party people and anyone who likes animals and nature walks.

A Mother’s Day walk to remember!!
Myself and sister in law were looking for something different to do, and Goat Walks Plymouth did not disappoint!
I can’t tell how much fun we had!
Our guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough good things about them. They were able to answer all the questions we had about the goats to the plants that the goats were nibbling on as we leisurely strolled along the paths and not to mention the history of the area!!
The walk was wonderful and everyone we encountered on our walk was smiling!
Seriously, how could you not smile seeing goats taking a walk!!
So, If you are looking to take a beautiful walk and meet some amazing people and goats, this walk is for you!!

We had a wonderful walk with Amber, her dog, and 4 goats. Walked around the trails in Morton Park and enjoyed the goats, dog, ponds and woods - a great experience all around. Thank you Amber!

A fun walk thru Plymouth, such a unique experience! The goats are adorable and well-behaved. They eat everything along the way, while Jesse tells us historical background of the area. People we encountered were delighfully surprised at the sight of the goats. A happy, feel-good experience. Who doesn't love a goat!

Jesse and Bailey met us for our goat walk on a rainy Sunday. The goats were cute, and Jesse and Baily answered our (many) questions about them. Our group had fun. Thank you!

If you are looking for a healthy dopamine spike, calming your amygdala, smelling the fresh air by the sea, tending to graciously brilliant animals, and spending time with some of the most wonderful humans; would highly recommend this walk. Best way to describe was some historically dazzled family fun with serene views! Our hosts were extremely warm, insightful, and so easy going! While figuring out which path to take with my mom, they were very accommodating to all levels of accessibility; so we were able to walk an easy paved path for about 2 miles. I learned so much about goats and they are just the sweetest walking companions! Don’t miss out on this amazing adventure!
