   If your pup is begging for a walk, clip on his leash and head over to Cowles Park. A favorite among local dogs, this wooded park is a perfect place for some afternoon cardio. Not only will your pal get some much needed exercise, he’ll also get to spend some time in nature. Two loop trails run throughout the park. With various short cuts and side trails, you can cover anywhere from one to three miles of terrain. Let your pup be the guide as you wander through the giant white pines down to the banks of the Farmington River.

   Next time your four legged pal needs to stretch her legs, pay a visit to Granbrook Park. This beautiful park sits right on the banks of Salmon Brook and is surrounded by groves of trees. Park amenities include sport courts, ball fields, and picnic areas. You’ll also find plenty of green space for sniffing, so take a few laps around the park and let your pup’s nose get to work. This is a pawsome place for getting in some quality time with your pooch. Pack a lunch, plenty of water, and her favorite treat and just chill out by the river banks. You’ll probably even see some Canadian Geese!

   Granby D.O.G.S. Park is a pupperific place for dogs that need to burn off some energy. This off leash park is located in the neighboring town of Granby, and offers plenty of space for running, chasing, and fetching. Your buddy will love meeting new four legged friends while also getting in some exercise. This park does not separate large and small dogs, so if you have a petite pooch, make sure he’s comfortable romping around with his larger peers. During the warmer months, water is available, but if you come during the winter, bring your own water. The park also has benches, shade trees, and even a faux fire hydrant. Sounds puptastic!

Grab some water, a leash, a few snacks and head over for some adventure on the park's large network of trails. Depending on your dog’s energy level, you can take a quick hike or stay for a few hours. If you happen to come during the spring, you’ll be treated to a beautiful display of wildflowers. Also, keep your eyes peeled for birds, as woodpeckers, vultures and even bald eagles frequent this park.

   If your pooch feels like being in nature, head 12 miles south to Talcott Mountain State Park. This park is located in Simsbury and sprawls over a vast 500 acres. The center feature of the park is Talcott Mountain, and the Heublein Tower which sits at its summit. Leash up your pup and make the 1.25 trek to the top of the mountain. Dogs are not allowed inside the Tower’s museum, but your pal will be able to enjoy stunning views of the valley. Picnic facilities are available, so go ahead and pack your lunch. Just remember to bring some water (and a treat) for your furry hiking friend.
