Your Dove Trail checklist

0 unique dove visits recorded in your account. Your personal goal can be a handful of stops, one area or the wider numbered collection.

The 85-number register includes unavailable and unresolved entries. The planner excludes flagged locations from automatic suggestions. A saved itinerary is not a visit, and “listed” is not a live opening-status report.

PICK A TOWN. PLAN A FEW STOPS.

    THE NUMBERED COLLECTION

    Bethel, White Lake & Swan Lake

    Source-linked addresses and artists, with known caveats retained. Photos appear as community members contribute and moderators approve them.

    Make a day of it

    Start with the stops you most want to see, leave room for a town walk or lunch, and treat outlying venues as optional additions. A short list gives you time to enjoy the artwork and share a thoughtful recommendation afterward.

    How the trail began

    The county’s launch announcement describes the dove project as a tribute to Woodstock’s 50th anniversary, with local communities hosting painted sculptures. Read the county’s original announcement for the project’s background.

    What about the official GeoTour?

    SCVA separately describes a Dove Trail GeoTour involving selected doves and a collectible geocoin. Logging sightseeing visits here does not fulfill those requirements. Check the official GeoTour for current participation and reward availability.

    Sources and updates

    Numbered locations and artists: SCVA web directory and official September 2025 PDF. The web table omits #6; its older PDF listing is retained as unconfirmed. Other address inconsistencies and status flags are shown on the individual entries. Our ten planning areas are HikerQuests groupings, not official routes.
