Chagrin River Park

• Woodland Run & Songbird Loop Trails: Possibly the perfect dog-walking park, and judging by the number of dog walkers here, the public seems to agree. From access to the river to let your dog get a drink to cool off, to an ample supply of flat trails, there is hardly a reason not to take your dog here.

Veterans Park

• Cardinal Loop Trail: Flat trails, a large lake to get your feet wet and a nice shady forest to walk through means your dog will love a trip to this park.  

Pete’s Pond Preserve

• Carriage Lane Trail: This nice shady trail is a favorite for dog walkers.  

Gully Brook Park

• Gully Brook Valley Trail: At a little more than a mile, this shady trail is perfect to take Fido to for an after-work stroll.

Lakeshore Reservation

• All Peoples Trail: Numerous trail options, views of Lake Erie and another one of our dog walkers’ favorite picks for a hike.
