    Garland Ranch Regional Park

    Dog-friendly Garland Ranch Regional Park is a gorgeous park in Carmel, CA, with the Carmel River running through it. Dogs are allowed off-leash in certain areas, including in the river and on selected trails (not the horse trails). Atop the northern crest of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the trails encounter open oak savannas and spectacular vistas. Along the way, you will travel through maple-filled canyons, dense oak woodlands, and thick stands of chaparral. There are trails for nearly all abilities, from beginner to advanced hiker. Trail maps can be found at the park's visitor center. The park is open dawn until dusk. Visit Website

    Or call (831) 372-3196 or email info@mprpd.org for more information.

      Excellent all around

      Wonderful trails for all levels of hikers. Awesome to be able to have dogs off leash. And helpful staff. It's a gem!

      We love GRRP.

      The trails are well maintained. There are lots of poop bags and refuse cans so the park is quite clean. plenty of parking. When the parking lot looks “full”, once you cross the bridge, it is likely that only a few people with their doggos will be encountered on the trails. There are many benefits to visiting this park. And the Park Rangers are super friendly and fun to talk with.

      Must Take Your Dog Here!

      So many different trails! The many options make sure that none of them are too crowded. Met some nice pups and saw really nice scenery.

      Great for dogs

      The park is beautiful and very well mantained. Dogs are allowed off leash through out the park. Everyone I met was friendly and happy to pet my dog. The visitor center has loner maps for you can buy on for a few bucks. The only minor downside is the traffic sounds. You can hear cars and road sounds well back into the park.
