Dog walking in Annapolis

Edgewater

Not far from the great parks of Eastport is a large neighborhood full of places to eat with your dog. Annapolis is perfect for outdoor seating, and so perfect for a treat meal with your workout buddy. LEDO Pizza in particular is a great way to refuel after a hike. Enjoy a slice while your dog gets ice water and dog biscuits. If it’s been a long day, reward him with a “doggie beer” available here. He’s earned it! Then stop by Bruster’s Real Ice Cream for dessert and a dog-bone-topped sundae for your newly crowned happiest dog in the world.

Davidson

Davidsonville is an expansive suburb of Annapolis. It’s location makes it a quick jaunt into the city for work or pleasure, but the charming area holds attractions of its own. It’s close to Quiet Waters Park in Eastport, and is also home to Bell Branch Dog Park. Mostly, Davidsonville is an area that loves dogs. HomeStead Gardens in Davidsonville is a gardening center and shop that welcomes leashed dogs. Gardeners can find that one kind of flower your pup won’t uproot, or learn about dog-safe vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Buy your favorites to take home. Maybe you can get your dog to dig some holes for you.

Broadneck

Broadneck is home to two wonderful dog parks. The aptly named Broadneck Dog Park gives the whole family something to look forward to. It’s surrounded by baseball diamonds and a playground for children, and provides an off-leash spot for your pup to kick up his heels after walking or playing on the “people” side of the par. Broadneck is also home to one section of Baltimore and Annapolis Trail Park. This rail line turned trail offers a very different experience from the dog park. Dogs have to be leashed, but there’s much more activity in the form of joggers, bikers, and your own hike!

Eastport

Eastport offers you two great experiences in one. You and your pup have plenty of puppertunities to raise your heartrate in Quiet Waters Park. This large park has it all. First, there’s a small dog beach perfect for adventurous smalls. Dogs large and small can run free in the two fenced, off-leash areas of the park. You can also go for a hike or attend one of Quiet Waters Park’s many events and functions with your leashed dog at your side. If you’re tired and dirty, head next door to the Bark’N’Bean, an idea so brilliant you’ll wish you thought of it: a dog groomer that will serve you lattes while you wait.
