Dog Walking in Lyons

Located in Cook County and also known as Lyons Township, the village of Lyons is home to the Chicago Portage National Historic Site, picturesque nature views, and some options for dining out with Fido. The village also features several public parks with walking trails and an animal hospital to help pups in need.

Cermak Woods is an extensive and green hub with three fields and an aquatic center. This forest preserve welcomes your leashed buddy, and offers hiking, biking, fishing and picnicking options, which you can enjoy with family and friends on the banks of the Des Plaines River. Lyons also has pet-friendly trails for leashed pooches in Veterans Park, and its own off-leash area, Miller Meadow Dog Park. However, this is a private park, and a special permit is required for visiting.

For the best beef in the state, head to Novi’s Beef in Berwyn, a casual eatery with outdoor tables and a variety of courses and appetizers made with love. Their delicious Double Dog treat – two all-beef hot dogs on one bun topped with onions, tomatoes, mustard, and peppers – is just impawssible to describe!

Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center, located in the southern part of the village not far from busy Ogden Avenue, is a gorgeous preserve with a number of multi-purpose walking, biking, and even horse riding trails.
