Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a countrywide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Chief Ladiga Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an underused railroad track, is now a terrific spot to walk Fido in Anniston! A parking lot with easy access to the Chief Ladiga Trail is shown on the map below.

Dogs are allowed in most park areas as long as they are on a leash at Cheaha State Park in Delta, Alabama. For safety concerns, several bike and equestrian riding trails do not allow dogs. In stores, food service areas, bathhouses, pools, and swimming areas, dogs are not permitted. Petzooie cannot be left unsupervised, and if left in a heated car for more than 30 minutes, he will be confiscated. Cheaha State Park is suitable for access to the Kentuck ORV-ATV Trail because it is totally surrounded by the Talladega National Forest. The park also includes the Cheaha Trailhead of the Pinhoti Trail, which connects to the Appalachian Trail and provides access to the Odum Scout Trail and the Chinnabee Silent Trail.Hikers will find peace, native wildlife, and stunning waterfalls here.

A shorter journey through a canopy adorned with lovely wildflowers may be found on the Bald Rock Boardwalk in Cheaha State Park. This half-mile loop is suitable for dogs of all ages and skills. The view from the summit is the icing on the cake. Dogs must be kept on a leash throughout their stay, and any mess they make must be cleaned up. The Doug Ghee Accessible Trail to Bald Rock is easily accessible from Cheaha State Park's main road. The 1,520-foot elevated boardwalk is wheelchair accessible and has ample sand benches. Just off the boardwalk, there are a number of side routes to choose from. Some of these trails run parallel to the elevated boardwalk, while others lead to the park's wilder areas.

Germania Springs Dog Park is a fenced dog park adjacent to the children's park and baseball fields of Germania Springs Park. Dogs can also enjoy an obstacle course and water in the dog park.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame welcomes pets. Make a pit stop along the route and treat your family to an exclusive tour of Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR's most competitive racing track. Stock cars, open wheel, NHRA, road racing, modified, motorcycles, and many other classic vehicles will appeal to history aficionados. On a leash, well-behaved dogs are invited to accompany you to the displays. They are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week.
