Pet-Friendly Niagara Falls in the U.S.

The U.S. side of Niagara Falls allows visitors to get up close and personal with the powerful falls. Established in 1885, Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the U.S. This free-to-enter park encompasses over 400 acres in total, including 140 underwater. Leashed pups are permitted along the green space and footpaths within view of the falls. Fido can keep his paws dry on the Niagara Gorge Trailhead, which is the gateway to a network of trails in the park. From here, head to the Great Gorge Scenic Overlook Hike, which can be completed by all levels of hikers in about an hour. Get a different “pawspective” on Goat Island Scenic Walk, an easy paved loop that takes roughly 30 minutes to complete and offers views of Horseshoe Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Finally, head to Terrapin Point next door for an unrivaled view of the mighty Horseshoe Falls.

Laidback Labs who want to see the sights without getting out of the car will enjoy a ride on the short and scenic Niagara Scenic Parkway. Along the way, stop at Whirlpool State Park for views of the mighty rapids at Niagara River. Then, take the Devil's Hole Trail downstream to the Devil's Hole staircase and the top of the gorge at Devil’s Hole State Park.

Pet-Friendly Niagara Falls in Canada

Ontario gives visitors the best opportunity to see a panoramic view of all three waterfalls. On the Canadian side, pets are permitted in any public, outdoor space but not in swimming areas, buildings or attractions. Begin a tour with your Terrier from outside Table Rock Welcome Centre at the brink of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Then, head over to Queen Victoria Park, where the manicured gardens lead to incredible views of the American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls. When hunger strikes, you don’t have to sacrifice stunning views. The Secret Garden Restaurant is a family-owned restaurant that serves big breakfasts, burgers and more on the pet-friendly patio overlooking Horseshoe Falls. After lunch, go for a comfortable cruise with your pooch along the Niagara River Parkway, a scenic drive that runs for 34 miles along the river. People and pups with time to see more can escape the mist and see a stunning floral display at nearby Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens. Dogs are welcome to join their owners on the pet-friendly pathways that wind around nearly 100 acres of European-style gardens, including the rose garden, which is home to more than 2,400 roses. Or, head to Dufferin Islands from Table Rock Welcome Centre for a pleasant stroll through a quiet and secluded natural area with several small islands connected by bridges and footpaths.

Both sides of the border experience peak tourist season from June through August thanks to the warm weather. Plan your trip in May or September instead, when crowds aren’t so big and the weather is still mild. Or, for a unique experience on the Canadian side, visit Niagara Falls during the Winter Festival of Lights to see the Niagara River and surrounding pathways illuminated.

One of the best ways to see Niagara Falls in all its glory is in a chopper from the sky above. While there are no pet-friendly helicopter tours available in the area, the dog lovers at National Helicopters are happy to look after your pooch while you take to the skies on a tour. If you’re staying on the ground during your visit and want to take part in activities that don’t allow dogs like Maid of the Mist Boat Ride or Journey Behind the Falls, drop your dog off for the day at Fisher's Friends Dog Daycare in Amherst, NY or Boondocks Pet Resort in Niagara Falls, ON. Both of these canine hangouts pamper pups with grooming services, fill days full of play and have plenty of space for rambunctious guests to let off steam while you’re away.

Niagara Falls is a natural wonder that should be on every dog’s bucket list. Book a stay with your four-legged travel companion at The Giacomo, Ascend Hotel Collection, Niagara Crossing Hotel and Spa and Candlewood Suites Buffalo Amherst in the U.S., or Harbour House Hotel and Old Stone Inn on the Canadian side of the falls. Or, reserve a room at one of these other pet-friendly hotels nearby. Fido can enjoy treats at check-in, comfortable beds and walkable grounds during his stay. When it comes time to head out and see the three incredible waterfalls, leashed pups can join you along the green space and footpaths within view of the falls on both sides of the Niagara River.
