The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Bethel

Bethel Town Center

Just a stone's throw from downtown, Overlook Park lets you and Fido escape to the great outdoors without having to travel too far. It is located behind the shops along Greenwood Ave, making it easy to pick up some food first if you're planning to have a picnic in the woods with your pup later on. As its name suggests, Overlook Park has several points where you and your pooch can look over downtown and the hills of neighboring Danbury. Go for a peaceful, leashed walk on the two main trails that encircle the park and the offshoots that lead into the middle of the hardwood forest.

Grassy Plain St / Greenwood Ave

If you and Fido find yourselves in this neighborhood, you don't have to worry about going hungry as there are a few dog-friendly eateries where you can grab a bite to eat with your pooch in tow. For a nostalgic dining experience, head to the Sycamore Drive-In Restaurant, where you can share an outdoor table with your best friend or opt for the car hop service. This 1950s-style diner, which has been in business for 70 years, has become a local landmark. Other options in the area include Mr. O's Deli, which serves breakfast and lunch, and Grassy Plain Pizzeria & Restaurant, which offers Mediterranean cuisine.

Dodgingtown Rd / Old Hawleyville Rd

The Wolfpit Nature Preserve is another spot in Bethel where you can get your nature fix with Fido. The site of a granite quarry (the wolfpit), this 82-acre preserve is composed of hardwood and evergreen trees, wetland areas, a beaver swamp, wet meadows, steep climbs to overlooks, and old stone walls. It is also home to spring peepers and various birds. A major section of the Enchanted Trail and marked trail systems meander through the Wolfpit Nature Preserve, making it a furrific place to go hiking with your pooch. If you're into geocaching and fishing, those activities are available here as well.

Redding Town Center

With its open fields, dense woodlands, and extensive trails, the Collis P. Huntington State Park is a favorite among hikers, mountain bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts. A lot of people also walk their dogs here, so Fido just might make some new friends. Take your furry pal for a leashed hike on the various trails and go for a doggie paddle in one of the five ponds. The Collis P. Huntington State Park spans the towns of Bethel, Newtown, and Redding, with the entrance located in nearby Redding. Lifelike sculptures of bears and wolves will greet you and Fido when you arrive at this 1,017-acre park.

Miry Brook

Explore the largest municipally owned town park in the state in the nearby city of Danbury. Like any great park, Tarrywile Park features hiking trails and beautiful nature views, but that's not all. This scenic, 722-acre site also contains a historic castle, Montessori school, greenhouse, community center, 23-room Victorian mansion, and several other buildings. The trails, which stretch more than 21 miles over varied terrain, cater to hikers of all abilities. Enjoy a leisurely stroll or go on a more challenging route with your pooch. There's definitely a lot to see at Tarrywile Park, so allocate at least a couple of hours for this puptastic location.
