Sierra Madre Dog Park at Sierra Vista Park

The Mt. Wilson Trail welcomes leashed pets. Sierra Madre to 2N45 is a 6-mile trail that begins and concludes in Sierra Madre (Mt Wilson Toll Road).

The Foothills Village is a small community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The City of Sierra Madre, located halfway between Pasadena and Arcadia, is made up of three square miles of tranquil neighborhoods and green space. Sierra Madre's attractive downtown commercial district is at its core, a favorite destination for visitors and the city's approximately 11,000 residents.

Pets on leashes are allowed on the trails of Chantry Flats, as well as at the Chantry Flats Picnic Area, which features 35 concrete picnic tables, charcoal grills, and restrooms. Before hitting the trails, make a pit stop at Adams' Pack Station, the last of its kind in the United States, which provides supplies year-round to an 80-cabin permanent community accessible only by footpath. The Pack Station also offers a General Store where you may get your Forest Service Adventure Passes, water, and trail mix before your trek, or come back later for soft drinks, ice cream, or an ice cold beer.

For your pet's enjoyment, Alice's Dog Park at Vina Vieja Park offers 2.5 acres of herbicide-free grassland. It is open from sunrise to sunset. The only conditions are that the dogs be current on their vaccinations and have a current license. It is also the responsibility of the owner to clean up after their dog. Water stations for humans and dogs, pop bag dispensers, shade trees, seats, tiny mounds, separate spaces for large and little dogs, and a 52-spot parking lot are among the amenities.

At the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park and Nature Center is a natural preserve. Hiking through this well-located public park will reward you with the sight of a lovely waterfall. On-leash pets are accepted.

The Duarte Recreational Trail is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a statewide network of trails from abandoned rail lines and connecting corridors. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Duarte! The trailhead for the Duarte Recreational Trail is shown on the map below.
