In Petit Jean State Park, this dog-friendly walk begins behind the breezeway at Mather Lodge and winds down into Cedar Creek Canyon. The trailside is adorned with massive stone boulders and huge trees. The walk then continues along Cedar Creek to Cedar Falls, which is one of the state's tallest continually flowing waterfalls at 95 feet.

This 4.4-mile looping track through a forest and by a waterfall allows you to bring Petzooie along. Petit Jean State Park is home to this attraction. On the trail, dogs must be leashed and all messes must be cleaned up after them.
