    Walnut Woods State Park

    Walnut Woods State Park is a pet-friendly destination in West Des Moines, IA. You and Fido can enjoy 260 acres of woodlands along the banks of Raccoon River. The 2.5 miles of trails that weave through the black walnut trees, the largest surviving natural stand of these trees in the country, are a great attraction for dogs and their owners. Dogs are allowed on the trails, as long as they're cleaned up after and remain on a maximum 6' leash. Visit Website

    Or call (515) 285-4502 or email Walnut_Woods@dnr.iowa.gov for more information.
