    Bryson City's Island Park

    Bryson City's Island Park is a pet-friendly place in Bryson City, NC. You can bring Fido to join you at this popular park, as long as they are on a leash. About a quarter of the 4.5-acre park is open and shaded with picnic tables for Fido's snacks and dog waste stations so you can clean up any mess that your pooch leaves behind. The rest is heavily wooded with roughly a half-mile of dirt trails that circle around the island and through its center. While you're wandering around the park, you might notice the ruins of an old lumber mill and Bryson City’s largest and oldest tree, a tulip poplar with a 20-foot circumference. Visit Website

      3 large dogs dragging their leashes is not having your dogs on a leash like the rules say!

      Great idea to make it dog friendly but when people that put a leash on their 3 dogs so they can be in compliance with the rules and then let them run loose with their leashes dragging behind them it’s not worth taking my dog out there and risk a 3 on 1 dog attack!

      The dog rules should be posted on the sign to the left of the bridge entrance and be enforced!!!

      Amazing place

      This is the best park. We stayed in Bryson for a week and took the dogs here everyday. They loved it! You are required to keep your dogs on a lead, but no one was there except for 1 day. We were able to let them off lead (They are extremely well behaved and listen) so they could play ball and play in the water. Highly recommend this park.
