Eva was fantastic with my dogs!! My boy is a little needy/ high energy and she handled it so well! She sent many updates and pictures so that I knew my babies were doing good while we were away. I highly recommend her 10/10!!!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Inverness

Twin Lake Road

In the Twin Lake Road neighborhood of Inverness, tails are wagging and locals are raving about the Bark Central Dog Park. The large 15 acres off-leash play area has naturally filled swimming pools, picnic tables, and shady oak trees throughout the beautiful terrain. Amenities include waste bags, pooper-scoopers, and even toys! There is a rinse-off station and air dryer to clean up your pup after playtime. The park isn’t free, but this means it’s well maintained and restricted to dogs that are fully vaccinated and temperament screened. Daily, bi-weekly, monthly, or yearly passes are available for purchase. When you’ve worked up an appetite, head over to the Van Der Valk Restaurant in the same neighborhood. They offer dog-friendly outdoor tables and delicious European cuisine.

Fort Cooper Highlands

Another great park in Inverness is the Fort Cooper State Park located in the Fort Cooper Highlands neighborhood. This park offers 700 acres of beautiful nature to hike, camp, and relax in with your furry friend. The primitive campsites include picnic tables, potable water and a fire ring. If you would like to learn more about the local wildlife, enjoy the 5 miles of self-guided trails as part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. Leashed dogs are allowed throughout the park, except for the beaches and water so as not to disturb endangered shorebirds and turtles. To continue on the adventure, from the park you can connect to the Withlacoochee State Trail that meanders along the Withlacoochee River. This 46 mile long trail is the longest paved rail trail in Florida.

Ella Avenue

If you and your pooch are in the neighborhood of Ella Avenue, you’re in for a treat! This neighborhood is in the downtown area of Inverness and is home to several dog friendly parks and restaurants. The Wallace Brooks Park is a neighborhood favorite, featuring a boardwalk with views of a fountain in the middle of the lake. There are shady benches and public washrooms available. If you’re hoping to catch sight of some gators, head north to Cooter Pond Park in the same neighborhood. You and your pup can take a walk on the docks over the water. Both of these parks welcome leashed dogs, but be sure to pick up after your pup! To get taste of the local beer, the Pine Street Pub is a great place to go. They offer 22 draft beers and dog friendly outdoor tables.

Stagecoach

It’s not hard to get fully immersed in nature with the Citrus Wildlife Management Area in the Withlacoochee State Forest nearby. This 50,000 acre park is accessible through the west end of Inverness, in the Stagecoach neighborhood. Your pupper will love to romp around like a wild dog while you both enjoy the trails, camping, and wildlife. There are over 40 miles of hiking trails through a variety of ecosystems. The park allows leashed dogs at all times for non-hunting purposes, and as long as your pet doesn’t disturb the wildlife. If you want to stay a while, also within the Withlacoochee State Forest is the dog friendly Holder Mine Campground. Amenities include electric, potable water, and restrooms.

Inverness Citrus County

The Inverness Citrus County neighborhood is the proud home to the Tsala Apopka Lake. This lake is composed of a large network of swamps, marshes and islands. Whether you want to hop on your kayak or paddleboard to explore the lake, or just relax on one of the surrounding islands, you and your dog will love this area of Inverness. Some of the islands include Lighthill Island, Cabbage Island, or Scout Island. When you and your pup have worked up an appetite from paddling, you can make your way over to The Cove. This lakeside restaurant is accessible by boat, and best of all, has dog friendly outdoor tables. They’re famous for their Wine Down Wednesdays and Thursday Steak Nights.
