Bring Fido for a walk on the pet-friendly Crabtree Falls Loop Trail in Burnsville, NC. It's a moderately difficult, 2.5 mile hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway that will take about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete with Fido. This lovely trail, popular for its waterfall, is best spring through fall since the road to the campground is closed October through May. Day hiking is free, and an honor payment system is in place for tent and RV camping. Please note that dogs must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet.

This was a great hike. Dogs loved playing in the water on the trail path. Does have some steep hills, and was sometimes difficult for my Boston Terrier (had a few large rocks that I had to pick her up for). But, didn’t phase my Doberman. I would highly recommend this trail.
The sites on this trail were beautiful but the trail itself is pretty difficult especially in the rain. It took us about 2 hours to complete with allowing our dogs to stop and play in the water. It is very rocky with lots of rocks being loose. There is also lots of roots. We went in the rain and I would not suggest doing so as it was so slippery. There was a handful of fallen trees over the path as well which is why I give it 4 bones. My dog had fun and is a pretty good hiking buddy.
Note: Not for beginners. Very rocky for half the trail. Not impossible though! We and the dogs had fun. The falls were beautiful and the path crossed a creek the dogs could walk through.
We dug up 9 pictures of dogs at Crabtree Falls Loop Trail.

We hiked the loop in about an hour & 1/2 with our lab. Stunning! Definitely recommend bringing your dog along but be aware of rocky steep slippery terrain at times. You won’t be disappointed!
