Dog walking in Homeland

Downtown

In the mood for pizza? Of course you are! And you should be, because Palace Pizza is just eleven miles from you -- even closer if you're already planning to visit Homeland Heritage Park. You can bring your dog along to enjoy a slice of their famous chicken wing pizza. The gooey cheese will make your mouth water and your taste buds sizzle. Of course, you could just go for some pasta. The locals love the baked ziti with homemade pasta sauce. As long as you keep your pup on the leash, you can enjoy pizza outside at any of their outdoor tables. Or, you could grab one to go and take it to the park for a barkingly awesome picnic.

North Side

The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy has worked their magic once again to give you and your dog an EPIC trail system that will have your tail wagging and your dog's feet moving! The Fort Fraser Trail is named after a Civil War soldier who died in 1835. All along the way, you will find markers that tell the tale of the fateful night. If you are a butterfly lover, you'll like the planted flowers all along the trail which will bring the butterflies to you. Remember, this is an on-leash trail that is almost 8 miles long. Bring lots of water, because the rest areas do not have any. And don't fur-get the waste bags!

Lake Crago

Lake Crago has plenty of things for you to do with your dog. There are trails to explore and trees to bark at. When your best buddy gets tired of being on the leash, take your dog to Crago Dog Park and let him off the leash to run. This park has two fenced-in areas which are separated for large and small breeds. There are water fountains and a dog shower, so no muddy paws in the car. The cleaning stations are fully stocked and ready to go. This park is only twenty minutes from you, so what are you waiting for? Grab a leash and Fido's favorite toy and head on out to Lake Crago for the pawfect day!

Carter Road

Orange Street

If you want some Southern comfort food, then you should come over to Cozy Oaks. The staff here will greet you and your dog with a welcome smile. You can get some coffee to wash down your biscuits and gravy, or order an omelet with loaded "taters". The locals rave about the meatloaf sandwiches. All of their outdoor tables are pet-friendly, but you will need to bring a water dish in order for your dog to be served. This is a cozy, laid-back eatery that the locals describe as a budget-friendly place to get a full belly and a happy soul.
