Exploring the Outdoors Together
Pet-friendly vacation rentals make it easy to bring your dog along on your getaway. But once you’re there, how do you ensure they’re part of the adventure and not just waiting back at the rental?
While most public beaches don’t allow dogs, there are plenty of other ways to explore together. From scenic walking trails and wooded hikes to outdoor dining spots that welcome four-legged guests, there are numerous opportunities for your dog to join in the fun.
Here are some great places where you and your pup can stretch your legs, enjoy the outdoors, and even grab a bite to eat together.
Bridge Falls Path: A Scenic Adventure
Get out on the Bridge Falls Path, also known as the "rail trail." There are several spots along the trail where dogs can get in the water. Your pup can swim at the boat ramp to Crescent Lake. Click here for more info and photos of the beautiful path.
Front Bay Park: A Hidden Gem
Front Bay Park is located on Bay Street. It features a circular trail with access from a parking area on Bay Street or from the sidewalk on Elm Street (109A). This area is often quiet, with only a few other visitors. There are steps leading to the water's edge, making it great for dog swimmers. You can also get in the water and toss a ball for your pup to fetch.
Knights Pond: A Secluded Retreat
Knights Pond is just over the town line from Wolfeboro in Alton. This secluded area is owned by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust and is a true gem. Click here for a blog post with photos from the pond.
Dining with Your Dog
You can take your pups to several restaurants in Wolfeboro that offer outdoor dining. These include Wolfetrap, Nolan's, Back Bay Boathouse, Dockside, and downtown coffee shops with outdoor seating like Harmony House.
Hiking Trails for You and Your Pup
Dogs are welcome on many trails and hikes in the area, which offer amazing views. You can explore Lakes Region Hiking or visit Castle in the Clouds for trails that feature stunning waterfalls.
Enjoy Your Vacation
We hope you enjoy your vacation with your dogs in the Lakes Region. There are many places you can bring your dog all around the lake. This post focuses on Wolfeboro since our rental is located there. Get out and explore; there is so much to see and do in the beautiful state of New Hampshire.
