Really nice dog park. Large dog area and small dog area. Lots of trees and things to sniff. Large dog area has agility equipment, not sure about small area. Hard to find! Youre better off navigating yourself to Grace Chapel and the back parking lot for the park is right behind the chapel. If you go to the main park address the dog park is hard to find since it’s way in the back.

Dog park is great with shade and water. Beware that as of March 1, 2026 you can no longer get in for free if you are not a local - previously you could show proof of your stay in Islamorada and still get in for free - but unfortunately not any more. It's ten bucks a person to get in, which if you ask me is highway robbery - it's $8 for up to 8 people in a vehicle to get in a state park - and this park is nice but not that nice. And the worst part about it, I think was the absolute GLEE that the attendant working the entrance had, telling us we had to pay. We turned around and left and we will continue to use the park early morning before it’s “open.” I suppose the next thing that will be coming is a gate but for right now there is none.

My two labs and I come here regularly. At times we are the only ones here, although we usually come pretty early in the morning. This park is almost a mile around (.8) with a pond in the middle and wooded area in back. Highly recommend. You get what you pay for (and the fee is reasonable). It's well maintained.

We were staying in our RV at Willow River State Park but wanted somewhere for our doggos to run. This place fit the bill. It's well maintained and large - it's kind of a funny shape, wraps around a ball diamond, but you can tell they tried to do as much as they could with the space they had. We went on a Friday morning so it was not busy, just a few others who came and went.

According to the website they closed in July 2025 :(

So glad we found this place for our Easter brunch this year. We are part time RV-ers and this was one of our top meals in the couple months we've spent in NM. I called and made a patio reservation and as soon as we got there the staff was loving on our two labs - set them up with water and even a little bacon :) Food was great - the chips trio with salsa/queso/guac was a huge appetizer for two! Wish we could go back but we are heading on home soon.

This place was great and the staff was all very friendly and attentive. We sat outside on their wide front porch and they brought out water for our pups. The only downfall was this couple showed up with about four kids, didn't even order beer, just some appetizers and they ordered TAKE OUT PIZZA from somewhere else for their bratty kids - and then proceeded to let the kids play tag across the whole porch. I only wish they could appreciate how truly amazing my dogs were when their kids were literally jumping over them. Anyway - that isn't the brewery's fault :) I would highly recommend - food was great and we took some beer to go.

Was nice to be able to bring our pups along for the drive. Many neat stops along the way, it's like another world. Our yellow lab is a little sensitive and can be reactive at times so we unfortunately did not do the blue Mesa hike - but if you drive just a little ways past it, there is a viewing area where you can see the whole thing. So that was nice. Highly recommend.

We went on a random Tuesday in Fall and it was quite busy, so I would imagine summer is busier yet. This is a great place to bring your dog and hike if you are a responsible pet owner. Be cognizant of your dog and if you don't have them socialized to be in crowds - leave them home and for gosh sake's stop using retractable leashes in the wrong time and place.

Crystal clear water, our labs wanted to jump right in. Fun little excursion to bring the doggos on, just watch out for people with little dogs on retractable leashes that they don't keep an eye on.

Small outdoor seating area and they did allow our two labs. We originally stopped at Great Turtle Distillery and they no longer allow dogs - they actually have a sign up saying it’s against city ordinance even on patios. So not sure how long Kingstons will allow dogs. Food and drinks were even more expensive than Key West ($25 cocktails) and it was just ok. Not really worth the price.

We are normally “planners” but found this spot day of and it was amazing. Took our two labs - they let us ride the shuttle with them (a school bus) and we walked the stairs to the top. No dogs on the elevator. It was a beautiful day and lots of spots along the way to stop and rest. Highly recommend if you like to be active with your dog! Multiple other trails too that I wish we could have seen.

We took our two labs on the Argo Navis for a brunch sail on Easter. Food was delicious, beautiful weather and staff were fantastic. They brought water bowls for both our girls. Drinks were plentiful and this was the best Bloody Mary we've had in Key West. Highly recommend. Only giving 4 bones though just due to the space on the catamaran itself. Seating was kind of weird, along the sides and front of the boat, and I spent most of the time worrying that my dogs were in the way. Probably didn't help we were the last people on the boat. There's only one area with a couch and a loveseat so fits like 6 people max and they take over 30 on the boat. Once they start serving food you can go inside below and that helped.

We stumbled upon this while looking at the Juniper Springs General Store (cute place but didn't go in because we have a one year old lab - bull in china shop). Anyway, this place was great! They sat us in the far corner which was great because again, one year old lab :) She settled right down along with our other older girl and they brought them both water and loved on them. Food was great, get the tomato bacon dill soup. Delicious.

So cool that there was a mine tour that was dog friendly. As others have said it's self guided and dogs are welcome to walk down with you. Wonderful way to expose your dog to something new. Our 6 month old puppy wasn't really sure what to think - but it was great.

We took our two labs into the park and all had a great time. They were not allowed into buildings, but we just took turns going inside. Pretty views of the lake - would recommend to all ages.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and all staff was very friendly. They have great craft cocktails and souvenir glasses if you want them, or they do a flight of four different vodkas. Our dog was welcome inside and out and they gave her lots of love.

We went here twice while camping at Fontainebleau state park - if you are a bike rider, this brewery is about 5 miles away on the Tammany Trace bike trail. We left our pooch at home but made a new furry friend and there were many dogs welcome there. Lots of beer choices and the pretzel and cheese was really good. Would go back! Oh and $1 cans of Pabst on happy hour took us back to our youth :)

We actually did not bring our dog, but there were many dogs there and they could come right on in with their owners or sit outside. We got there shortly after they opened, and snagged two seats at the bar with a few locals that you could tell were regulars. Lots of people coming in to fill growlers and the bartender seemed to know them all. Everyone was friendly and lots of beers to pick from. The only slight bummer was that they do not do flights of beer - just pints.

Came here with my mom to pick out some fabric and Isla got to come along too. We were mostly left alone, no one made a big fuss (which is fine) - good place to socialize your dog and get them used to being "out."

This place isn't really "hidden," just possibly overshadowed by the more well known (and NOT dog friendly) restaurant down the street. Do yourself a favor and check them out! Huge menu with lots of options, lots of different varieties of mac and cheese. We had our lab pup out on their huge deck/outdoor bar and others had dogs there as well - they did provide water.

We went up the side stairs right to the outdoor deck and had our black lab with us. It was early in the day and I didn't see a waitress so I just poked my head inside and let them know we were there. Service was great and we got a bowl of water for our pup. It was an outdoor deck but was a little bit smaller and "closed in" than others we visited. The only place we found onion rings while we were in Pensacola - yum! And the tots were great.

Accommodations were average, you get what you pay for. It was wonderful we were able to stay there with our black lab. The doggie area out back is small - but it's all you need. It's fenced in and a place they can relieve themselves. I did read a review that the back door is chained and locked at night - and that was the case for us too. I wanted to let Missy out at around 7:30 AM and it was still locked - I just had to go back around to the front door and then walk to the back from outside. We had dinner at the bar and the bartender was friendly.

Very open outdoor seating area with lots of green space. I went up to ask them about having a dog and they informed me I could have my dog inside or outside! We chose to sit out in the sun. Food was great and they brought our black lab a dish of water. Highly recommend.
