Texas offers a wide variety of landscapes from canyons, mountains, deserts, plains, and forests, to islands and coastline. Basically, there’s plenty of nature to enjoy in the beautiful Lone Star State and there’s plenty of land to cover.
Of course, there’s no better way to enjoy some rugged, natural beauty than with your four-legged hiking partner, so where are they welcome to join you in the great state of Texas? Well, there’s no shortage of dog-friendly hiking destinations in the state, but here’s a list of our favorites.
Texas is home to plenty of hiking destinations that are certainly worth exploring alongside your precious pup. Not only are there some great trails all over, but Texas has 89 state parks that offer plenty of hiking and outdoor adventures.
You can expect to pay an entry fee for the Texas State Parks if you are over the age of 13, but regardless of where you decide to venture, you’re in for a treat.
I am a wife, mother, nature enthusiast, animal lover, and business major. I was born and raised in Ohio but now live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We share our home with a German Shepherd, several snakes, tarantulas, and a couple rescue cats.
My husband and I enjoy traveling the US with our kids and photographing wildlife. My passion is to educate others on the importance of proper animal care, with an emphasis on reptiles and exotics since their care requirements can be much more complex. I am also a huge advocate for bully breeds. I feel most at home in the forest either on horseback or in hiking boots.
