How long of a hiking trip are we talking about- a couple hours, a whole day, overnight camping? Will you be going through Vermont?
If you do you should totally hit up Dog Mountain http://www.dogmt.com/
Mount Camel's Hump is a lovely hike, especially if you want to do a sunrise or sunset hike! http://www.vtstateparks.com/htm/camelshump.htm
This is my favorite park and hiking area for shorter trips. They have an off leash area, a dog beach, and hiking trails. http://www.millsriversidepark.org/
