   This neighborhood can be found at the heart of Exeter, and is always filled with a vibrant energy. The most scenic spot for a dog walk is at the Swasey Parkway, which is stretched out for about a mile along the banks of the Squamscott River. There are benches dotted along the way from where you and Fido can enjoy the view, just make sure to keep your pooch on a lead at all times. If the two of you are feeling hungry after your walk, stop off for a bite to eat at the dog-friendly Green Bean, where you can sample some of their signature soups, salads and sandwiches.
