Ruff Mountain
Big Barks. Bigger Air.
DockDogs is Back
Join us for Ruff Mountain, a weekend of dock-jumping dogs, live music, great food, and plenty of fun for the whole family.
Watch as dogs of all sizes launch off the dock in different agility competitions, showing off serious hang time and big energy. From seasoned pros to first-time jumpers, these pups know how to put on a show.
It’s fun, it’s outdoors, and yes—your dog can even give it a try!
Show Us Your Pup
Bring your four-legged adventure buddy to Ruff Mountain and share their best day at Sunday River with us!
Tag your photos with #DogsOfSundayRiver on Instagram for a chance to be featured on the Sunday River Real Estate feed and win a Sunday River hat and bandana for your pup.
Look for the Sunday River Real Estate team on the mountain — they'll be handing out stickers and everything you need to enter.
