Dog walking in Holyoke

Sedgwick City Limits

Sedgwick is thirty-eight miles north of Holyoke.  The call of the very wild resounds loudly at the tract of state-owned property known as Sedgwick Bar State Game Preserve.  This property has 895 acres set aside for recreation and conservation.  It is a favorite area for hiking and viewing wildlife such as deer, turkey, pheasant, and other small game animals.  This property is also used for hunting.  The trails vary in length and may not be completely marked per the map.  Visitors should be prepared for an experience which takes them away from easily obtainable conveniences. Bringing water is a must! The property is of moderate elevations around 3,500 feet.  Hunting dogs may roam off-leash here, but all other dogs must be on-leash.

This city park has plenty of open green spaces for a good stretch of those paws!  The fish are biting in the property's pond.

Lake McConaughy

Ogallala is forty-eight miles north of Holyoke.  Your pup will run with the big dogs at the TA Truck Stop on Prospector Drive.  This truck stop gives those pups riding on the big rigs a chance to get out of the cab and run leash-free for a spell. This completely fenced area includes plenty of waste baggies for easy pick-ups.  The truck stop sells dog treats and an assortment of dog food brands.  Also on Highway 61 North is the Lake Mcconaughy SRA Campground.  Your leashed pup may camp with the family here. Plenty of green space and access to the lake make this a prime place for people with dogs in the family.

Ramada Inn on US 6 has certain rooms reserved for travelers with a pup in tow.  The hotel recommends booking a room in advance of your stay, and welcomes up to two dogs of any size for an additional fee of $25 per dog per night. Once you're all settled into your room, why not take a walk at Overland Trail Recreation Area? Keep in mind that the trails at this pawpular park are multi-use, so make sure your pup is comfortable sharing the path with those on two legs -- and two wheels!
