Owning a dog is a great opportunity to check out a few of your local hiking trails. Oregon is one of the pet-friendliest states in the U.S.A., and there are many places with beautiful views to explore with your dog. You’ll need a 6-foot leash, sturdy shoes, water, and plenty of snacks—as well as dog waste bags—to ensure that your adventures are fun and safe and that you leave the trail as you found it.
Here are 10 dog-friendly hiking trails in Oregon, so you can explore someplace new during your next walk!
898 acres of paved trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, and an off-leash dog park
Dogs are only allowed off-leash in the designated field, so use a 6-foot leash on the trails
There are paved and dirt trails that are wooded or open to suit your preferences; be aware that a few of the paved paths can get too hot for dogs in summer
Beautiful views of the river and plenty of spots to watch the sunset
Plenty of parking is available and it rarely gets crowded
Walking around your neighborhood and visiting your local dog park are always fun, but sometimes, it’s nice to get away from urban streets. Oregon is filled with hiking trails, and provided that they are leashed, your dog is more than welcome to join you on your treks. If you haven’t visited any of your local hiking trails, try starting with one from this list to help you explore the beauty of the Beaver State.
