Clean and quiet room
Days Inn by Wyndham LonokeHotel was pretty quiet and clean. There wasn't much cut grass for the dog to potty, but enough to work. No poop bags, so have some handy.
Great location
La Quinta by Wyndham Page at Lake PowellIts a very nice hotel at a decent price. We asked for a quiet room with no one on top of us, and they put us on the 4th floor which was great. Room was clean and nice. Not 5 bones because they don't have a grass area to go potty, it's all rocks.
Great location
Quality Inn Bishop Near MammothWe had a nice stay. The door was acting up, but the lady was very friendly and helpful in showing how to get it open. There's a small nice grassy area for pets that has an apple tree with apples. The hotel was busy because of a snow storm, which made it crowded and loud with people above us but not the hotel's fault.
Dog friendly
Pecos National Historical ParkDog friendly location, pup allowed on 2 of the 3 trails. People were nice, they ran out of BARK Rangers tags but told us we could call and they'll mail us one.
Dog friendly national park
Petrified Forest National ParkIts known as one of the most dog friendly national parks. Allowed on trails which is rare especially in Midwest National Parks.
They have B.A.R.K Ranger program too and even have treats for the pups. Wish we had more time to spend there.
Not really dog friendly
Death Valley National Park2 stars in terms of being dog friendly. Allowed on some roads, but not on any trails.
Pretty location
Horseshoe BendDog friendly, lose a star because of no bags and trash cans except at parking lot.
Be careful, it doesn't have guard rails all around the rim.
Dog friendly
Tule Springs Fossil Beds National MonumentHad poop bags at the start. Allowed on trails. Important to note that there's no vistors center or bathrooms at the location.
Gorgeous location but not very dog friendly
Yosemite National ParkBeautiful park, but dogs not allowed on most trails and big/busy lookout points. It limits what you can do. Big plus is that they are allowed on most paved bike routes.
They have Bark ranger program with tag for sale.
Gorgeous big trees.
Redwood National & State ParksIn the redwoods part dogs aren't allowed on trails which limits what you can do. They are allowed on 2 roads, Walker and Cal Barrel.
Dogs are allowed on certain beaches as part of the state park side of it.
National Park has bark ranger program.
Decent location
Heritage Inn Yosemite SonoraDecent location for what we wanted. People above were loud but not the inn's fault. Main drawback of this hotel is that there's no place to take dog potty - it's all concrete.
Very dog friendly!
Roadrunner LodgeWe loved our stay here. They are very dog friendly, have a dog park area, left treats, towel, bowl and personalized note on the bed for our pup. We got moonpies as our treats. Walked into the room with lights on and 60s music playing which made it feel more welcoming and fit the theme of the motel. They have some doggy related things in the store area too. They also have a fire pit area right by the dog park area and turned it on for us. Our only complaint is that the people above is were loud and active but that's not the lodge's fault.
Lake Agnes
State Forest State ParkLake Agnes hike is dog friendly and the views are beautiful.
Day fee was $9 and road up was a bit rough in car but doable.
Big Spring area
Ozark National Scenic RiverwaysTrail wasn't well marked, but still a good hike. Dog friendly and on occasion they have B.A.R.K Ranger events.
Very dog friendly
John Day Fossil Beds National MonumentDogs allowed on all the trails. Ranger were very friendly and informative. They have the B.A.R.K Ranger program.
Full of history
Vicksburg National Military ParkUnfortunately it was raining most of the time we were there so we couldn't really get out and explore much but the little we did was good. They are dog friendly and have the B.A.R.K Ranger program. Dogs aren't allowed on the USS Cairo but can be around the outskirts. We made turns going through the ship.
Interesting history
Natchez Trace ParkwayWe stopped at Tupelo in MS to visit the visitors centre. Dogs not allowed in the center but are allowed on trails. They have the B.A.R.K Ranger program too. We only hiked a short distance, be very careful of ticks. We had 3 on us, the Ranger even warned us that they are horrible this year.
Very dog friendly park
Hot Springs National ParkDogs welcome almost everywhere except in the museum. Lamar bathhouse store allows dogs and love them. We only hiked the peak trail but enjoyed it. Drove up both mountains and spend some time at their Bark ranger celebration event.
Staying in one of their cabins
Hot Springs National Park KOAWe loved staying in the one room cabin as we weren't planning on being at the cabin much. Dog friendly, has a little dog park area (some owners didn't pick up but there was bags provided (not KOAs fault)), and lots of activities that we didn't have time for. People were very friendly and helpful at office, would def stay there again. Note: No bathrooms in these particular cabins so use the camp ground ones and have to bring own bedding.
Pretty park with beautiful mossy trees
Fort Frederica National MonumentThe park is decent sized with lots of moss covered trees to walk under for shade. Dogs are allowed most everywhere (not in the buildings). The Ranger even had a milkbone for our pup. They have 2 poop stations if you forget bags. B.A.R.K. Ranger program was on hold due to revamping their program, so that was unfortunate timing for us.
Just be aware that ticks can be found, we didn't find any on the dog but one on us.
Very dog friendly NM
Fort Pulaski National MonumentThey are very dog friendly especially for being a national monument. Dogs allowed everywhere except visitors center and gift shop. Shoreline and trail to lighthouse was closed.
Great historic location
Old Fort JacksonEveryone was very friendly to our pup, they loved her. She could go everywhere that we could go. They do have cannon fire so if your dog is scared of loud noises be aware of the times for that.
Fun stop off I 16
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical ParkFun stop off I 16. They have poop bag stations at multiple places. A few trails to go hike on.
They also participate in the B.A.R.K Ranger program. Pick up an activity book at the visitor center and earn a tag.
Dog friendly and historical
Russell Cave National MonumentDog friendly park, they also have the B.A.R.K Ranger program. The rangers were very friendly. The cave is pretty cool. They had signs up that venomous snakes are frequently spotted on the nature trail so we gave that a skip.
Beautiful falls and pet friendly location
Little River Canyon National PreserveNot only is the falls stunning, the staff at visitors center is very friendly. The visitors center is dog friendly (absolutely love this!) but due to Covid you have to have an appointment. They also do the B.A.R.K Ranger program.
Clean location
Quality InnOutside looks a little dodgy and had me worried, but the inside was nice. Mostly clean, found some stuff under the desk when we pulled the chair out.
Room location was nice and quiet which we appreciated. The door doesn't seal well, you hear everything that happens outside, but nothing happened except lots of rain.
AC makes a lot of noise and TV remote only worked half the time.
They had a full breakfast and didn't charge us a pet fee.
What a view!
Liberty State ParkThe view alone makes it totally worth going. Saw some other puppies there and they even had poop bags available.
Full of history
Gettysburg National Military ParkFrom what we could tell there was 2 dog friendly trails. We hiked before visitors center open so there may be more options available. Get there early it fills up quickly after nine am.
Great historic site
Independence National Historical ParkWe didn't have time to do all of it, but walked around the hall and bell.
Cute location
Guest Quarters at the Bridges Golf ClubRoom was clean and big, dated but matched the style of the club house. Room is on the second floor, no elevator. It was nice and quiet since they have only 13 rooms, which was part of the appeal for us. We got there at 9pm they had late check in ready in a mailbox (they seem to close at 8pm). When we booked there was no mention of dog size so they made us an exception since we didn't know. New rule is under 20lbs I think.
Door bolt didnt work, but we found out the door handle doesn't turn without key so no need for bolt.
Overall we are really happy.
Great hotel
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bel Air/I-95 Exit 77AHad area for dogs on the grass with poop bags but apparently no one uses it. This isn't the hotels fault, but they do need to cut the grass.
The room was clean and spacious. High ceilings and quiet area which is surprising with highway right next to it.
AC made lots of noise.
And no breakfast due to Covid.
Very dog friendly NB
Petersburg National BattlefieldThe trails were well marked and wide. Dogs are allowed almost everywhere and they have the B.A.R.K Ranger program.
Pretty waterfall
Indian Springs State ParkIt has a pretty waterfall. We did the short nature trail and it was horribly marked. Overall the park is dog friendly with lots of doggies around.
Great spot for quick hike
Panola Mountain State ParkGood spot for a quick hike. Saw other dogs too.
Fun hike
Red Top Mountain State ParkHad poop bags at beginning of trail. Trails are well marked but little confusing. Lots of other dogs on trail.
Pretty location
Seminole State ParkThe lake is pretty and has a pretty board walk. Trails weren't well marked to the point that we didn't know where we were. No trash cans that we saw and no poop bags.
Great park
Georgia Veterans State ParkRangers at visitors center was very friendly and fed our pup treats while we ran through the little museum. Hiking was good, well marked. Be aware that edge of trail had some poison ivy, easily avoidable but worth a mention. No trash cans at trail head also no poop bags so remember to bring your own.
Great park if you are into history
Kolomoki Mounds State ParkDogs aren't allowed in buildings which kinda takes away from the experience. Hiking trails weren't well marked and overgrown. No trash cans or poop bags. There are some trail option though and still unique park to see the mounds.
Great park
Reed Bingham State ParkDogs allowed everywhere except for the water. Lots of trails to pick from. Bring own poop bags.
Random find
Dakota Thunder the World's Largest BuffaloThis is so random but so cool. We had fun walking around the little village (which was already closed because of winter) and our dog was very interested in this giant bison in front of her. Good spot to stop, stretch legs and see something unique.
Location good
Pepper's Dog ParkThe location is perfect if you are traveling. When we got there and was busy getting out another dog just getting there ran up to ours and scared her. The owner had 2 dogs neither one of them on a leash and no control over them. We put her in the small dog area since there wasn't any dogs in there and she just needed some off leash time. There was trash on the ground, it made me uncomfortable so I kept following her around to make sure she doesn't pick something up. She did have fun playing with the dogs through the fence though.
Wow!
Badlands National ParkThe view at Badlands is simply amazing. Dogs unfortunately aren't allowed on trails but you can drive through the park with them and stop at look out points. They have signs at certain look out points that dogs aren't allowed on the platform so we just stayed in the parking area.
Pretty place
Falls ParkWe enjoyed the park a lot. Our dog had fun walking around and saying hey to everybody. All the dogs we saw were on leash. After sundown they turn on the lights, which gives the falls a cool look.
Good place to stretch legs.
Bob Kerrey Pedestrian BridgeThis was the perfect spot to take a break and get Liefie out and moving for a bit. The park is well kept and the bridge has the state line between Iowa and Nebraska.
Lots of space
Gateway Arch National ParkThere's lots of space to walk your dog and take in the stunning view.
Great view of St Louis
Malcolm W. Martin Memorial ParkWe visited this park solely for the view of St Louis. The fountain wasn't running. Its dog friendly and we even saw another dog there while we were there.
Different perspective on the river
Old Chain of Rocks BridgeWe loved walking across the bridge. It was a quiet day with few people around. Liefie enjoying looking at the river and saying hey to everyone. This isn't something I would make a point to see but if you are in the area and need to stretch your legs this is the perfect spot.
Hidden gem
Medicine Rocks State ParkMedicine Rocks is a pretty place to explore. Not big so not a ton of time needed, unless camping. Paying the fee is on honour system. Keep in mind that there are no trash cans, make sure you have your own poop bags and a place to keep them until you find a trash can somewhere else.
Good hike
High Falls State ParkTrail was in good shape with a few other dogs on it as well. Not very long though. We didn't do much else at the park, so not sure about the rest.
Hiked in from Unicoi SP
Anna Ruby FallsDog enjoyed the hike in from the state park. Saw several other dogs from the falls to the parking lot as well.
Friendly staff with good food
The JointThey have outdoor seating the dogs can be at. They asked if we wanted water for the dog as well. Great food with Eric Church theme.
Great experience
Providence Canyon State ParkPark was very clean and there were a lot of people and dogs there later in the morning. Be prepared to have water for your dog and carry poop bags (no trash on the trails except by street). Dog really enjoyed it though.
Fun park but ticks on trails
Hunting Island State ParkOutside the ticks we got walking a short trail from campgrounds to visitor center and marsh boardwalk(8 total), its a great park. Dogs can't go in the fenced in area around the lighthouse and other buildings but welcome most everywhere outside and on the beach as long as they are leashed (which almost all we met were). Beach still has the trees south of south beach but you'll want to go at low tide unless you like a challenge. Our dog loved all the people and dogs around.
Easy access to beach
Hunting Island CampgroundCampsites were pretty flat and decent sized. Bath house was iffy at times with campgrounds being full. Easy access to beach though we had to look for the poop bag stations and no showers at campground access points. Watch out for ticks if you go on hiking trails in the park and may need bug spray if wind is low.
Nice room and quiet
Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lafayette/Purdue AreaPlenty of grass for potty area, nice rooms, and quiet. Only complaint is lamps seemed a bit dirty still in our room.
Decent hotel for small price
Red Roof Inn Fargo - I-94/ Medical CenterHotel was prertt clean (headboard was dusty) and pretty quiet. Our sink had a leak, but that should be an easy fix. Someone had their dog off leash to go potty, so we didn't use the dog area but the grass on the side. Looked to be bags in that decent sized area though.
Decent Stay
Howard Johnson Hotel & Suites by Wyndham OacomaRoom had awkward layout but was clean. Grass had a good bit of litter and no bags, but worked. Lots of options for breakfast (for covid time) though we left before it was ready.
Clean and friendly
Hampton Inn St. Louis ChesterfieldPlenty of grass on side for bathroom (use personal bags for clean up), room was clean and quiet, breakfast was decent (cold items only due to virus).
