New Echota State Park

Leashed dogs are allowed at New Echota State Park, a pet-friendly park in Calhoun, GA. This is one of the most significant Cherokee sites in the nation and also where the horrific Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of Native Americans to the west, officially started. This area was the official capital for the Cherokee Nation and a spiritual home until the Trail of Tears began. You and Fido can explore the many trails at this historic cultural location.

Great park for pups and peeps
This area was the capital of the Cherokee Nation and the beginning point of the trail of tears. Very serene place to walk pups on leash around trails and buildings and lots of history. We were looking for a place to walk pups on trip from Michigan to Florida and very glad to have stopped here.
