Allowed us to stay with our 40 b shepherd mix. However, it’s not entirely clean and had some questionable guests smoking and partying during the night, fights breaking out, etc which made our dog very nervous.

Incredibly pet friendly American fare restaurant! They were super kind and offered our dog a treat and bowl of water while we sat outside on the patio.
They also have designated porch areas for larger groups with multiple pets!

This is amazing pet friendly park, there are endless things to see and do with over 70 miles worth of trails!
It offers amazing sculptures and scenery and pets are welcome everywhere.

Pets are not allowed on the boat tour of the cave but they offer several miles worth of nicely shaded trails and a fun pet friendly play ground. There is also no entry fee to walk the trails!

This is by far the best cave in Kentucky which allows pets both in their cave and museum. There are over 600 steps total within the cave which can be challenging for some pets.

While the main attraction of this NP is the cave which does not allow animals, they do have some nice trails that allow pets along with no entry fee.

This park is super pet friendly with lots of different activities like hiking, fishing, kayaking, etc.. There are also plenty of gazebos and picnic areas for group events. Dogs must be leashed at all times.

This campsite is located within Hot Springs national park and allows quick access to numerous trails and activities. The camp and trails are very pet friendly and the scenery is amazing. There is actually a trail you can take that leads you into town so you don’t have to drive!

Great campsite to visit with pets. We were excavating from a hurricane and they even allowed us to bring our ducks! Lots of good trails and a nice quiet campsite. Dogs are not allowed in the creek.

While not a large park, Fontainebleau is extremely wildlife rich which can be exciting for both you and your dog. Dogs are allowed on the boardwalk trails however they are not permitted in the water.
Keep in mind this is Louisiana and this particular park has lots of bugs, snakes, gators, etc.. so it’s important to be aware of your surroundings.

A very pet friendly state park with a nice camping area. Lots of great well-kept trails with lots of wildlife viewing. Dogs are allowed everywhere but in the bathrooms.

A nice, small state park with some short shaded trails for you and your pup. Lots of good areas for picnicking or group events. Dogs are not allowed in the old house but are allowed everywhere else.

While St Andrews is a beautiful park with amazing beaches. It is not the best option for pet owners. Dogs are not allowed on beaches, boardwalks, or in buildings (Primarily due to the presence of sensitive wildlife).
There is only about 30 minutes worth of trails which are sandy and not well shaded so it stays pretty hot for most of the day.

Great park for some easy hiking and sight seeing. Dogs are welcome in all areas of the park except the lake beach and they can even go on the stairs that lead to the waterfall!
This is a very beautiful park with great picnic spots and a nice place to take your pup.

This is a great paved trail for either walking, running, or hiking with your dog. The scenery is nice and most of the trail is shaded.
It’s important to note that this trail does pass through a rural neighborhood where off leash pets and strays are very common so be prepared when on this trail.

Wide, easy, flat trails make for a great day hike or biking trip for you and your dog! This area is also pretty secluded for PCB so it works well for more nervous pets who like the quiet.

An absolute must do on your visit to Hot Springs! Thus far, this is the most impressive gardens I have been too and the most pet friendly. There is a $5 pet admission but it is well worth it.

The garden trails are mostly paved and make for a leisurely stroll with your dog. The trails are also pretty shaded with plenty of spots to stop for a rest.

Pets are not allowed inside of the architecture (typical of most places) and there are no pet watering stations so be sure to accommodate for that.

An awesome trail to take your pup on, a fairly easy trail with moderate elevation and wonderful views! The trail can be narrow at times so keep in mind that you may need to pass other dogs on the trail. Our dog had a great time!

We were able to walk all throughout Hot Springs with our dog with almost all stores, trails, and photo ops being pet friendly. The scenery is amazing and there are lots of grassy and wooded areas for dogs to explore when they need a break from the busy sidewalks and stores.

We ate here with our 40lb GSD/husky mix and were even able to sit inside! They promptly gave her a bowl of fresh water and her own bandanna. Overall a very inviting and unique restaurant.

A fun quirky diner to visit with your dog. They have a pet friendly covered patio with enough space between tables for your dog to be comfortable. The food is good and the dessert is better, overall a fun experience.
