Our absolute favorite!

We bring our deaf 2 y/o Catahoula to Mills Riverside at least once or twice a week, it’s quickly become one of his favorite places! All the other dog owners we’ve encountered on our hikes are so kind, respectful, and responsible. Even people we run into who don’t have dogs with them, have all seemed like true dog lovers and are excited to see our dog! There are larger open areas people use for cross country skiing and a sledding hill for kids in the winter. The Meadow loop gives you the option of a nice, easy stroll with your pup off-leash, then you can head up into the trails (We have found that the East/West loops are easier and the North/South loops are generally steeper and more challenging). We enjoy that the trails are on-leash areas, we often have issues with off-leash dogs running up on our deaf dog who has to be leashed (he is easily startled and disoriented, and can’t hear us call him). All in all, Mills Riverside Park is great, we can guarantee that both ourselves and our dog will be tuckered out!
