North Livingston

Looking for a great place to walk your dog? Grab the leash and pay a visit to Reservoir Park. While it may not look like a traditional park, this large patch of land has dirt trails that your pooch will love. Let your dog’s sniffer chart your course through the rolling hills. There’s not much shade, so if you visit this park in the summer, bring plenty of water. The Highground Public Use area is just a bone’s throw away from Reservoir Park. This is another wide open area to explore with your canine pal. Bikers frequent these trails, so keep a close eye on your pup at all times. 

East Livingston

If your dog is bursting with energy, then it’s time for a trip to Moja Dog Park. What used to be a landfill is now a large area for resident canines to scamper around. Your pal will get tuckered out while enjoying some time with new four legged friends. A trail runs alongside the Yellowstone River and Fleshman Creek before heading into the woods. Mayor’s Landing is another park that’s connected to the dog park. If you decide to wander in that direction, watch for signs that indicate where dogs must be leashed. This park has picnic tables and a boat launch. Be sure to bring plenty of water for both you and your pup.

South Livingston

Water Plant Park is another Livnigston park with an off leash area. Your pup will be delighted at the chance to ditch the leash and romp around. The large grass area is a furrific spot to throw a ball or Frisbee and let your pal run free. When you’re through playing, head over to the Zen Garden for a peaceful cool down. Miles Park is also in this neighborhood. Hop on the Yellowstone River Levy and head upstream to this natural area. Take a puptastic walk along the river, then find a mellow current so your pal can wade or go for a swim. 

West Livingston

This neighborhood is where you’ll find Mars Park, a small natural area with a gravel walking trail, a playground, and picnic tables. Stroll around this little park, then cross the street to the Bozeman Trail. Leashed dogs are welcome to venture down this one mile trail that parallels Fleshman Creek. As you head west, you’ll enter a wetland habitat that houses critters like ducks, deer, and beaver. If your pup is quiet, you may even see birds perched on the cattails. There are two dog stations along the way, so be sure to use the clean up bags. A walk on this trail will definitely make your pup’s tail wag!
