Let your furry BFF check out the local wildlife at the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. Located just 10 miles east in the New Orleans neighborhood of Southpoint, this refuge is sure to bring some pep to your pal’s step. Venture down the Bayou Sauvage Ridge Trail. This out and back trail is a total of 6.8 miles and provides pawsome views of Bling Lagoon. But you don’t have to go the whole distance to see the marshy scenery. If your dog isn’t the athletic type, just go as long as his paws can handle. The Ridge Boardwalk Trail is another option. Just be sure to keep your pup leashed and on the trail, as you never know what’s lurking in the water.

Three miles west of Seabrook in the Pontchartrain Park neighborhood of New Orleans, you’ll find Pontchartrain Landing. This gated community has almost everything you can think of, including rental villas, a restaurant and bar, a marina and most importantly pet friendly RV sites. So if you and your pal are sticking around NOLA for a few days, see if there’s an available spot. Just keep in mind dogs are only allowed in the RV sites and must be on leash when walking around the grounds. When your four legged friend is ready for some exercise, Pontchartrain Park is just a bone’s throw away.  Head over to for a delightful afternoon stroll in this lovely green space.  

The New Orleans neighborhood of  Lake Terrace and Oaks is only three miles west of Seabrook and has a couple pupperific parks for your fur baby to explore. Start your adventure at Lake Oaks Park.  Your leashed pooch will love cruising around this large open space. Trees are scattered throughout the park, so if your pup starts to heat up, take a break in the shade. Head over to London Park for a nice waterfront stroll. A paved path runs beside London Avenue Canal. You can also cross Lakeshore Drive and spend some time  on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Sounds like a pawsome time!
