Love this store
Bark HarborA must-stop when we're in Bar Harbor. Small store, but unique items. Dog friendly. Bought a rope lobster toy.
Fun store
Digs, Divots, and DogsGreat store with TONS of fun things to buy for dog loves (and golf lovers)
Unique experience with your dog!
Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co.My dog loved this! Trains move slowly, lots of space. My dog got to hang her head out the door and watch the world go by. She loved it.
Fun outing for the adventurous dog
Casco Bay LinesThe staff at the terminal were very friendly and welcoming. We planned to book a mailboat tour (2-3 hrs, dog friendly). Because it was my dog's first time on a ferry, they suggested we take the ferry to one of the islands and back - shorter for the dog with a break in the middle. Very fun. Clean and lots of space on board. There's some vibration on deck, which my dog didn't love on the way out, but it's a lot better inside.
Scenic and easy hik
Mackworth IslandThis is a fun place to bring your dog - park and walk around the island if you want. Paths are well kept, lots of water entry for your water loving dogs. Not a ton of parking.
Great dog beach
Wells BeachLarge and clean beach. We were there in Oct 2019, so it was pretty quiet.
Great dog friendly hotal
Commodores InnClean hotel with large rooms. Friendly staff who are very welcoming and accommodating to dogs. They let us do takeout from the buffet (attached restaurant) so we weren't leaving the dog alone.
Beautiful drive, lots of spots to stop
Kancamagus HighwayBeautiful drive, especially in the fall with the changing colours. Lots of places to pull off for pictures, picnics or short hikes.
Good outlet mall - most stores pet friendly
Settlers Green Outlet VillageGreat selection of stores. You will either walk a lot or have to move your car a couple times, as the mall is large. Most of the stores are pet friendly. There is a sticker on all stores that are pet friendly (from memory, I think it's a paw print) so you don't have to ask at each store. Lots of shade and benches.
Dog Friendly hotel
Best Western Plus PlattsburghStayed here with my dog in Oct 2019. Large hotel and very clean. All the staff were very dog friendly. This was my dog's first hotel stay ever and they were so good about welcoming us and offering cookies (for dogs and humans). There is a water bowl in the reception area, which my dog immediately knocked over and they were so nice about it. Hotel itself is very clean. Lots of doors in/out (key card to get back in) so it's easy to take your dog out. Restaurant is attached to hotel.
Great place to visit if your dog loves water!
Pinery Provincial ParkThe park and stretch of beach is huge - there is a long section dedicated as the dog beach. Enough space to spread out and allow dogs to swim and play. Beach/sand relatively clean. The parking lots (along each section of beach) are large, with washrooms and outside water available to clean up before you get back in the car. There are tons of trails and camping site, a supply/gift shop, food and ice cream. Bathrooms are clean.
Very Special Place
Dog MountainWe visited in Oct 2019 and planned our route to stop here. It's a really special place full of dogs and dog lovers. Lots of space for the dogs to run free and play, with beautiful views for their humans. The gallery had lots of fun dog art, with options to fit all price ranges. The chapel demonstrates how beloved our dogs are to us! Make sure to take pictures of any dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge to leave in the chapel!
Worth the visit if you're a dog lover
Beautiful Joe’s Leash Free ParkBeautiful park to honour Beautful Joe. There are also memorials/recognition to police dogs, service dogs and beloved pets.
Parking was a bit difficult - we ended up parking along the road on the other side of the river.
Unique experience with your dog
Gondola SkyRideDog friendly gondola ride up Mount Mansfield (summer/fall). The cost for people was reasonable, and I think there was no charge for the dog. Once up, the views were amazing with lots of hiking trails. You can also choose to walk down the mountain. There were a ton of happy dogs.
The only heads up I'd give - the gondola had quite a vibration. Not enough to bug the humans, but my dog was not happy. I'm sure any small dog who could be held would be fine. But something to consider with a larger dog who has to be in the floor.
