The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Potomac

Travilah

Along the southwestern border of this neighborhood runs the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, a 184 mile state park that runs through 3 different states. Although there are trails throughout the park, the Potomac section only has about two miles of trails in the city, and they are open to humans and their dogs as long as pups remain on a leash. The trails run throughout the forested area, with picturesque views of the river and access to the shoreline, giving Fido a chance to play in some of the shallow pools on a hot day. Humans must come prepared with water and clean-up bags.

Hollinridge

Hollinridge is a quaint little neighborhood, with small communities and large areas dedicated to maintaining the natural look of the region. Two of these areas are known as Kilgour Branch Park and Watts Branch Parks. The two parks lay side by side and make up about 438 acres of natural land. Both parks are dog-friendly to leashed pups, offering over 7.3 miles of trails and creek access. The parks are great for birdwatching and fishing opportunities, and although dogs may come on the creek's shoreline, they are not allowed in the water. Trash bins and benches are available throughout the park, but clean-up bags and water must be brought.

Carderock Springs

Carderock Springs is made-up of neighborhoods and communities, with bustlings streets and busy days for families. Inside the residential area is the Avenal Local Park, a 8.2-acre park with baseball and soccer fields, a paved path and vacant fields which are perfect for a game of fetch. The park also has trash bins, benches, and water fountains. This neighborhood features some dog-friendly eateries too, like the Hunter's Bar and Grill with lunchtime meals like burgers and sandwiches. Bring your pup to their dog-friendly outdoor seating, and he can get a complimentary water bowl.

Potomac Falls

If Fido needs a place to run around and stretch his legs, then the Potomac Falls neighborhood is the right place to be. The neighborhood offers the Rockwood Manor Park, a small, forested area with plenty of shade from trees and open fields for Fido to run around. The park is dog-friendly, but dogs must be kept on a leash. With features like benches, water fountains and a clean-up station in the parking lot, this parkis perfect for an afternoon out. To see the waterfalls, head to the dog-friendly trail of Ford Mine Trail, a 1.9-mile path that travels along the river. Fido must remain on a leash while on the trail.

Central Great Falls

Head 2 miles south of Potomac to the town of Great Falls for more outdoor fun. This neighborhood is home to the Great Falls Park, aan area that follows along the Potomac River and features over 3 miles of trails for people and their dogs to wander, with dog-friendly picnic areas and benches for rest. Dogs must remain on a leash at the park. Hiking sure works up an appetite, and luckily the community has a dog-friendly restaurant called the Deli Italiano. The deli specializes in Italian sandwiches and meals, and even has outdoor dog-friendly seating for Fido.
