Roper Lake State Park

Hiking on Oracle State Park's more than 15 kilometers of trails will provide you and your dog with a range of landscapes and viewpoints. At all times, dogs must be leashed. A sign will be put at the trailhead if the trail is not dog-friendly.

Coronado State Park's Agua Caliente Hill Path #46 is a 9.25-mile (round-trip) moderately difficult trail (lots of climbing). This trail is too hot to hike in the summer, but it's ideal for a cold day. The route provides stunning views of the city. Although there is water at Cat Track Tank (1.6 miles), it is advised to bring plenty for you and your dog.

The Roy P. Drachman Agua Caliente Regional Park is a one-of-a-kind 101-acre park with a perennial warm spring and pond that is home to a diverse array of plants and animals. Picnic in the shade of mature palm trees and native mesquite trees or stroll the network of accessible paved and gravel trails with interpretive signage explaining the geology and history of the warm spring and the natural and human history of the place.

The Sky Island Scenic Byway welcomes pets. The only paved path to Mount Lemmon, the highest point in the Santa Catalina Range, is through this picturesque road. This meandering beautiful road, also known as the Mount Lemmon Highway and Catalina Highway Scenic Drive, is one of the most picturesque in the southwest and also one of the most diverse in a short distance. It starts in the desert and ends in the high forest, and it's only 27 miles long. As you and your dog hike high into the rocky environs, you will be rewarded with breathtaking vistas.

A separate area for little dogs, drinking water, shade trees, and picnic tables are available at McDonald District Park's off-leash dog park. A playground, horseshoe pits, basketball and volleyball courts, softball, baseball, and soccer fields, walking routes, and restrooms are also available at the park.

Saddlebrooke Dog Park is a membership-only, private facility for SaddleBrooke residents and their pets. Call or email for membership information or to schedule a hosted visit. Large and small dogs are allowed to play off-leash in specific areas. There are also temporary passes available.
