Dog-Friendly Trails and Best Places for a Walk

Explore the trails and parks of Baton Rouge by paw or peruse the Downtown and Mid City streets with your pet. Pets are welcomed at these community green spaces and attractions:

LSU Lakes

A popular spot for active groups and their pets is a day at the LSU Lakes. Begin at Milford Wampold Memorial Park and enjoy the grassy area by relaxing with your pup or playing fetch. Take them for a walk or jog along the path surrounding the lakes. Let them swim or dig in the sand at the Baton Rouge Beach or ride with you as you paddle in a canoe or kayak.

After working up an appetite, head over to a pet-friendly restaurant and cool down with a local craft beer or cocktail and a tasty meal. These restaurants and bars offer outside seating and usually provide water and leash hooks for four-legged friends:
