Activities For Dogs In Hot Springs National Park

One of the best things you can do in Hot Springs National park is go for a hike. With multiple trails and paths you can take, it makes sense to bring your dog along for the walk. There are also plenty of options for trail choices of varying lengths so if you feel like going for a long hike up a steep trail, you can definitely do that but if you and your dog just want a shorter casual path, they have those too! No matter what you choose, it will be great to be outside with your pup in this wonderful national park. Just remember to keep your dog on a leash as it is a rule of the park that dogs remain on a leash.

If you and your dog love being outside then the Hot Springs National Park campground is a place you need to check out. This is one of the rare national campgrounds that will actually allow you to bring your dog so take advantage of it! Dogs always have to be kept on a leash and in your control so don’t let your pup wander free in the campground or you may be asked to leave.

Bring a nice blanket for your dog to cuddle up in at night in your tent and they will be the happiest pup in the park.
