Pleasant View Park

The Ozark National Forest is a 1.2 million-acre forest in western Arkansas' Ozark Mountains. The St. Francis National Forest in eastern Arkansas encompasses slightly over 22,000 acres, making it one of the country's smallest national forests. Hiking, camping, swimming, fishing, and scenic drives are just a few of the outdoor activities available at both parks. Both parks accept dogs, however they must be kept on leashes in the campsite sections.

Lake Dardanelle State Park is split into two sections on the Arkansas River's Lake Dardanelle, a 34,300-acre reservoir. The Sport Fishing Weigh-in Pavilion, a fishing pier, boardwalk, walkway, and tourist center with five aquariums, as well as the Lakeview Room conference space, are all located in Russellville. On the Trail of Tears water route, it's also a National Park Service-certified site. Dogs are not allowed inside the buildings, but are welcome on the grounds and trails outside. Please keep Fido on a leash at all times.

This state park sits atop the 1,350-foot Mount Nebo in the Arkansas River Valley, about 45 minutes from Arkansas Wine Country. You and Petzooie may explore more than 14 kilometers of trails at Mount Nebo State Park. All you have to do is keep your dog on a leash at all times.

On a wonderful day in nature, you and Petzooie will find much to do at Petit Jean State Park, with spectacular scenic views and eleven trails ranging from simple to hard. All you have to do is keep your dog on a leash at all times.

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.
