Off-leash areas

In the meantime, the dog walking guide covers parks and routes where leashed dogs are welcome.
Good to know before you go
- Vaccinations and tags. Keep proof of rabies vaccination handy; some parks and all kennels ask for it.
- Leash laws. Outside designated off-leash areas, assume dogs must be leashed.
- Heat. If you are visiting in summer, walk early or late and test pavement with your hand; if it is too hot for you, it is too hot for paws.
- Vet backup. Save the number of the nearest clinic below in your phone before you need it.
Ask a local: the staff at pet stores and vet clinics know the real picture -- the unofficial off-leash spots, the patios that actually like dogs, the trails to skip in tick season. A two-minute conversation beats an hour of searching.
