Dog Walking in North Vernon

Indiana has plenty of options to offer if you're traveling with your pooch, including big commercial centers and small tranquil villages with unique attractions. If you're traveling in Jennings County, which lies south of Indianapolis, don't hesitate to visit North Vernon, the county seat and smaller brother of Vernon, which is set just a 10-minute ride north. Recreation areas, nice outdoor activities, and a dog-friendly attitude will make you and your pooch feel like desired guests in the town! There are two veterinary clinics serving North Vernon’s needs year-round.

Even if you're just passing through, it'll be impossible not to spot Muscatatuck Park, located west of Vernon and south of North Vernon. This is a huge recreation area with a tranquil atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, featuring leafy trees and plenty of spots to find a retreat with your pup. Make sure to keep your mutt on their leash here. Explore the miles of well-maintained walking and hiking trails, or enjoy a picnic near the old mill area.

If you end up falling head over paws for this place (we wouldn't blame you!), feel free to stay for a few days at North Vernon's only dog-friendly hotel, Comfort Inn North Vernon. Pups weighing under 20 lbs. can stay with you for no additional charge! You can also leave your buddy for a short period of time alone in the room if he promises to be a good boy.
