Dogs are welcome at Old Santee Canal Park during daylight hours. Opened in 1989, the 195-acre park commemorates the area's rich history and habitat. Among its attractions are the Stony Landing House, built in 1843, and four miles of boardwalks that meander through the quiet backwaters of Biggin Creek and its surrounding swamp. The park's centerpiece is its Interpretive Center that chronicles the area's history as far back as 4000 B.C., including the 1863 construction of the Little David, a semisubmersible Confederate torpedo boat used in the Civil War. Beyond its historical offerings, the park has become a popular destination for bird watchers, hikers, paddlers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Dogs are not allowed at events.

Dogs are welcome to enjoy some off-leash playtime at the fenced dog park located within Wannamaker County Park. Features include shaded areas, benches for humans, and a water station. Leashed dogs are also welcome to enjoy the trails and many of the other park features outside of the dog park. The dog park is closed on Mondays until 10:00 am for maintenance. There is a fee to enter Wannamaker County Park.

We are Charleston's only indoor pool for dogs. The 9,000 gallon pool is heated and has a saltwater system. All swims are private and by appointment only. (Closed Sun & Mon) Bring your water loving dog in for a fun, energy draining swim before you explore the city.

The Palmetto Trail - Swamp Fox Passage is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that is working to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors. Previously an unused railroad corridor, this "rail-trail" is now a great place to walk Fido in Bonneau! The map below shows a parking area with convenient access to the Palmetto Trail - Swamp Fox Passage. Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has generously provided map data for this trail to Bring Fido for informational purposes only. For more detailed trail information, please visit TrailLink.com.
