Private beach splashing

De Soto National Memorial Beach

Went on a Sunday afternoon & barely ran into anyone. Nice shell paved path. Can enter water at numerous sites. Nice way to cool down in the heat by dipping in your paws for those dogs that are not big on swimming. Very clean with plenty of garbage spots.

Open nature

Weeki Wachee Preserve

Nice wide paved path from beginning for strollers or sensitive dogs. Many options for mileage. No trash can for waste, just sign that says take trash with you which apparently no one follows as there were about 10 poop bags under the sign.

Beautiful

Got in the miles

Lettuce Lake Conservation Park

Nicely paved walkway to get some miles in. $2 cash entry fee. Well equipped with poop bags, garbage bins & doggie water fountain. Can be busy on weekends. Wish they allowed dogs on the boardwalk.

Sea life

Craig Park

Not only did we get to see manatees but also dolphins today around 2-3pm. Nice open trail along the water’s edge. After walked around the local neighborhood a bit to get another mile in. Encountered many friendly people with & without dogs.

Short path of shells & boardwalk

Eureka Springs Conservation Park

Staff was very friendly right from the start. Beautiful trees, flowers, ponds & festive poinsettias to view. Paved pathways with some shell paths too. Wide boardwalk path for multiple dogs to pass.

Found by accident

Pass-a-Grille Dog Beach

Hoping to collect shells via a boat trip but was full so found this park by walking around. Parking on the weekend afternoons can be challenging. Not super busy and people & pets were friendly. Not super big or wide area but nice for dogs that need to be leashed.

Nice family park

Paw Playground at John Chesnut Sr. Park

Nice park with lots of natural wildlife from gators to deer. Having been our first visit here & wanting trails it was a bit hard to find where to go that dogs were allowed. Especially if you stay on the walkways & not stray off. Many of the boardwalks had signage saying no dogs. Big park so was able to get a lot of miles in walking around and navigating.

Beautiful scenery

Key Vista Nature Park

Lovely walking paths of sand, grass and elevated bridges. Easy to find shaded areas. Lots of water viewing spots. A bit tight in places if you have a dog reactive to other dogs. Lots of wildlife off the path if you stray, including snakes, crabs, etc

Favorite spot

Honeymoon Island State Park

My dogs are not the best listeners & don’t trust other dogs so it was nice to have everyone leashed. Friendly people & dogs. Dogs loved the options of the more wavy area or the shallow wading area a bit further down.

Variety of scenery

Suncoast Trail

Long paved path with a variety of scenery. Right alongside suncoast parkway highway in many spots. Depending on time & day of week there may be more bikers. Convenient for many housing developments to jump onto trail.
