WHEN TRAVELING WITH YOUR DOG, PLEASE HELP KEEP THE REGION GORGEOUS BY PICKING UP ALL OF YOUR DOG’S WASTE. LEARN MORE.
Please remember that dogs must be leashed on most trails in the region. Be considerate to others who may not be comfortable with dogs (even little ones!), and always bring a waste bag to pick up your pet’s waste.
In the summer, it’s important to keep dogs leashed due to snakes. In the desert, we see Bull Snakes and Rattlesnakes pretty often. Be sure to keep your furry friend safe!
Morning
Take a stroll by the Arkansas River at Centennial Park, where your dog can hop in the water to cool off!

Late Afternoon / Early Evening (depending on what time of year)
