   #1 Southeast Boise

   The very rural city of Idaho City, with only about 500 people in its population, makes its name sound like somewhat of an oxymoron. Though a gorgeous area, you’ll need to drive a bit to get to some paw-friendly places. Boise, Idaho is one of them – especially Southeast Boise, which is about 36 miles from Idaho City. This neighborhood’s Cypress Park and Manitou Park allow dogs off their leashes during the quiet times in the mornings and evenings. Both parks have plenty of space for your pup to explore! You and your pooch can also visit the local PETCO and Pets Best stores here.
