Dog Park Locations

Off-leash pets are welcome to join you on this beautiful, rocky beach. Turn east on N. on the north end of the Noyo Bridge (left heading south, right going north) to get to the Noyo Beach park. Follow Port Drive down the steep hill into the harbor, beneath the bridge, and down to the beach. Stop at Nemo's Fishmarket on N. after visiting the beach. You and your dog may have lunch on the deck at Harbor Drive.

This 155-acre Reserve is a crucial component of the Peninsula's natural ecosystem and a substantial section of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, with some of the best remaining native wildlife habitat and hiking routes.

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.

Grays Peak Trail in San Bernardino National Forest is a dog-friendly, moderately simple, 6.4-mile out-and-back trip that will take around 3.5 hours to accomplish with Petzooie. This trail is located on the north side of the lake and leads to the backside of the mountain, where the water views are lost. However, the calm, quiet, and vast views that replace the view of the river are well worth the sacrifice. Due to habitat preservation, this location may be closed. Because this trailhead is located in bald eagle habitat, it is closed from winter to spring, and sometimes into summer, while the eagles are nesting.

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.
