Dog walking in Easthampton

Hendrick St/ Plain St

If your pup loves art and nature, then be sure to stop by Art in the Orchard at The Park Hill Orchard. The folks at this working fruit farm have turned part of their orchard into an outdoor art gallery. Your pooch will love strolling along the self-guided half mile trail and admiring the unique sculptures. You can even bring a picnic and eat lunch among the rolling hills and scenic views. For a pupstastic leashed walk, head over to Nonotuck Park. Follow the Toteman Nature Trail through the large natural space, or check out the fishing in Nashawannuck Pond. Your pal is sure to have a pawsome time!

Easthampton City Center

The Easthampton City Center is home to a couple furrific parks. Millside Park is a community hangout. Don’t let your dog miss out on the action; clip on his leash head over. Take a brisk walk around the paved path so your pooch can get his daily dose of cardio. Let him sniff around the grassy fields before sauntering over to the banks of Lower Mill Pond. This park also hosts “The Arts in the Park” concert series during the summer months.  Nearby Pulaski Park may be small, but it’s a great little spot for an afternoon stroll. Be sure to stop by in December when it is all lit up for the holidays. 

Mount Tom

Looking for a new place to walk your favorite furry friend? Grab a leash and head over to the Manhan Rail Trail. Follow this nine mile old rail corridor across the length of town. Not only will your pup get plenty of exercise, she’ll also get to take in the sites of this old manufacturing city. You’ll pass by old mill buildings, parks, and shady forests. Be sure to stop at the scenic overlook and admire the beauty of the Connecticut River.  Mutter’s Field Accessible Trail is another pupperific walk. It’s a short path, but provides a great view of Mt. Tom. 

Hampshire

Oakdale

If your pup is overflowing with energy, take a short trip south to Holyoke and pay a visit to Wyatt Harper Park. This park provides ample room for romping and playing. Bring a ball for a game of fetch or just let her socialize with new playmates. Large and small dogs play together at this park, so if you have a petite pooch, make sure she’s up for mixing with her bigger peers. There’s a bench here, but no running water, so be sure to bring your own. If your pal wants an on leash experience, hop over to Community Field and follow the paved walking path.
