This neighborhood is home to the Northend Riverside Park. Clip on your pup’s leash and head over to this riverside area for a delightful afternoon walk. Paved paths weave through grassy fields and groves of trees. Follow the Riverwalk and let your pal enjoy views of the Muskegon River. If it’s a hot day, he can dip his paws in the water to cool off. White Pine Trail is also nearby. Stretching 92 miles, this trail cuts through several Michigan counties. The Big Rapids section is lined with trees. Needless to say, your pup will have plenty of room to stretch his four legs.

It’s easy to see why Hemlock Park is a local favorite. Nestled right on the banks of Muskegon River, this large park hosts community activities, including an ice rink in the winter. Leash up your pup and head over for some doggy cardio. Follow the Riverwalk north to Northend Park or south to River Street Park. Either way, your four legged walking buddy will enjoy beautiful scenery during her workout. Before heading home, stop by the Good Dog Bakery and pick up a treat for your furry pal. This local barkery has delectable delights like Turkey and Sweet Potato, or Cheese and Liver Star. Sounds tasty!

Does your dog need to burn off some energy? Then take him over to Brutus Dog Park and turn him loose. You’ll find this fenced area inside River Street Park. Dogs of all shapes and sizes gather here to romp, wrestle, and run. Watch as your pup darts through the agility equipment, makes new friends, or just trots around on his own. Trees provide shade in the summer, and benches give pet parents a place to relax. Water is available, so make sure your pup takes a drink every once in a while.  After your pal is finished playing, clip on his leash and walk around River Street Park.

Highbanks Park is the perfect spot to spend some quality time with your furry BFF. Situated right on a horseshoe bend of the Muskegon River, this park is a popular take off point for tubing. It also has a softball field and picnic facilities. Most importantly, it has a nature trail that showcases the area’s beauty, no matter what time of year you go. The trail runs alongside a mellow stretch of the river and through groves of trees and shrubs. Your puppy dog pal will definitely get her fill of nature as she trots down the trail. After your walk, hang out on the shore and let the afternoon pass by.
