MacKerricher State Park

Enjoy the grandeur of the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens in Fort Bragg, CA, where you can bring your leashed dog along. The formal gardens, coastal cliffs, pine forests, and fern-covered canyons are all breathtakingly beautiful. Something is usually in flower thanks to the warm seaside climate. Rhododendrons, magnolias, heritage roses, lilies, and succulents are just a few of the plants you'll come across while walking with Petzooie along the pathways.

Join us on the SEA HAWK for a deep sea adventure that you and your dog will never forget! The SEA HAWK is a 45-foot charter boat that can accommodate up to 25 fisherman and 30 tourists for deep-sea fishing, whale watching, bay cruises, and sunset cruises. They provide a variety of cruises, with prices varying based on the one you choose. Dogs are welcome at no extra charge, with the exception of the salmon fishing cruises. It is recommended that you bring your dog's life jacket as well as your own pet care and clean-up equipment. They must be well-behaved and kept on a leash at all times.

Beautiful views from a paved walkway along the north side of the headlands overlooking the Noyo Harbor entrance are available from the park's 25 acres of outstanding bluff-top property. On the west side of Highway 1, across from the Surf Motel and Gardens. There are benches and poop bag dispensers for dog walkers, and the walkway is appropriate for wheelchairs or strollers.

Off-leash pets are welcome to join you on this beautiful, rocky beach. Turn east on N. on the north end of the Noyo Bridge (left heading south, right going north) to get to the Noyo Beach park. Follow Port Drive down the steep hill into the harbor, beneath the bridge, and down to the beach. Stop at Nemo's Fishmarket on N. after visiting the beach. You and your dog may have lunch on the deck at Harbor Drive.

Your dog will appreciate the opportunity to run about off-leash in this fenced dog park, which has separate spaces for large and little dogs.

The dog-friendly Skunk Train, which departs from downtown Fort Bragg (or Willits), transports tourists while also serving the few residents and visitors of the redwood forests it passes through. Railroad enthusiasts, history aficionados, nature lovers, and everyone else who would like a ride through a lovely forest would enjoy the Skunk Train. Dogs are allowed on the train in both open and enclosed compartments. The Wolf Tree Turn route is only open from around March to December, although the Pudding Creek Express is open all year. Tickets for Petzooie must also be purchased. Tickets for dogs are $10.95.
