The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Lake Forest

San Clemente

Jump in the car, roll the windows down, and head 23 miles from Lake Forest to San Clemente. This is where you will find San Onofre State Beach. This is a dog-friendly beach where your fur baby can catch some waves and sun. The two separate walking trails offer lots of different trees to bark at. When you are all done, the convenient washing station makes sure you get all the sand off your pal’s paws before you hop in the car for the ride home. Just don’t forget your leash for the trails. The beach has an off-leash area but beware of the undertow.

Irvine

Grab your shoes and a leash, because Rails to Trails has come to California. Just a quick 15-minute trip from Lake Forest to Irvine puts you at Shady Canyon Trail Loop where the team behind Rail to Trails has turned the historic path into a serene scene. These trails offer winding paths that have plenty of furrific adventures just around the bend. You’ll enjoy the breathtaking views while your canine companion has a nice sniff. This picture-perfect scenery makes it a great get away. Don’t forget to bring the leash, a sense of adventure, and your camera for all those barktastic moments.

Laguna Beach

A 20-minute trip from Lake Forest to Laguna Beach will bring you to Laguna Beach Dog Park. This is a furtastic dog park that has two separate fenced-in spaces for dogs of different sizes. There is plenty of room to run, play, and even play fetch in each area. Don’t forget to bring a ball, Frisbee, or your pawesome pal’s favorite toy. Bring a leash and take a quick stroll down the trail with Fido and you will come to a quiet beach spot. Contemplate the beauty of nature, or get down and dirty in the sand. Just be aware that the park is closed on Wednesdays to allow for maintenance.

Huntington

Twenty-one miles west of Lake Forest California lies Huntington Beach. Here, you will find Best Friend Dog Park. The memorials of never forgotten furry friends coupled with the shady benches, which make a relaxing, if a little somber, stay. The two large fenced-in areas are just the pawfect size to bury bones, chase balls, and even fly frisbees. When you get thirsty, just get a drink at the self-filling water fountains. The only downside is the muddy paw prints that are sure to be on your car seats, so bring a wet wipe or two if you’re worried. This is a privately-owned dog park that is very well-maintained.

Aliso Viejo

If you want something that will challenge your sense of adventure while allowing your pup to work out some of that endless energy, you need to take a 19-mile trip from Lake Forest to Aliso Viejo. Here you will find Aliso Creek Riding and Hiking Trail. The trial is 18 miles long, which makes it the perfect place to go from a day trip through the historic Mission Viejo. Just don’t forget to bring a lot of water if you plan to tackle the whole thing! As you walk, you can learn about the history of the area from the many kiosks along the way. With many open spaces and trail options, you can always find new things to explore.
