Truckee River Regional Park

Donner Memorial State Park is one of California's most pet-friendly state parks. This state park in Sierra Nevada offers camping, picnics, boating, fishing, water skiing, and hiking for you and Petzooie. Although pets are not permitted on all trails, as they are in other California state parks, they are welcome in the water, on paved roads, and in camping and picnic areas. Keep an eye out for the dog entrance signs so you and Petzooie can get to the lake quickly. From sunrise to sunset, the park is open.

Northstar offers free lift rides for hiking from June to September, as well as allowing leashed pets on the gondolas. It's lovely, and it's a great family outing. In addition, the village is dog-friendly.

This is a pet-friendly neighborhood. Water bowls can be found around the shopping area, as well as several pet-friendly eateries.

During the off-season, the Palisades Tahoe Aerial Tram in Olympic Valley, CA, is dog-friendly. When the ski season is over, grab your dog and ride the aerial tram for a scenic ride. The tram journey up the mountain costs money, but if you climb up to high camp (height 8200 ft) with Fido, the tram will give you both a free ride back. The Shirley Lake Trail is the best way to get there. Shirley Lake, a renowned dog-friendly swimming hole, is a 3-hour hike with a rest stop. Petzooie is also welcome at the tram's top restaurant's outdoor tables.

Shirley Canyon Trail is dog-friendly and regarded as one of Lake Tahoe's top half-day walks. This 3.6-mile trip takes dogs and their owners past waterfalls, granite rocks, and vistas of Squaw Valley. Because the Shirley Canyon Trail is tough to navigate, owners are advised to wear hiking boots. "Keep the creek on your right and follow it up for about 2.5 miles until you come to enormous granite rock slabs; you will cross this part and continue up to Shirley Lake," hikers should remember. The official website has information on how to get to the trailhead, parking, hiking suggestions, and where dogs are not allowed in Squaw Valley. When riding the AerialTram, dogs must be leashed; however, owners should use their best judgment when deciding whether or not to leash their dogs on the route.

Dogs of all sizes are allowed to join you on the more than 8 kilometers of ski trails at Tahoe Cross Country. Although skijoring is not permitted on the trails, Petzooie can cross-country ski beside you and enjoy the snow. Although leashes are required at the parking lot and at the trailhead, your dog can enjoy the trail without one as long as he remains under your voice control.
