The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Budd Lake

Sand Shore Rd

Some of the finest parks in Budd Lake lie in the Sand Shore Road neighborhood, which is why this area is so popular with dog owners. Camelot Park is a large and spacious passive park, and while there may not be any facilities here, this is still a gorgeous patch of woodland for a walk with Fido. Not too far away from here is the Lou Nelson Park, where you will find tennis courts, a playground, picnic benches, and open grassy areas for your pooch to sniff about in. If your pup prefers sand to grass, the Budd Lake Municipal Beach is also in this neighborhood. This small stretch of sand is open to the public in the summer months, although you will need to keep your dog on a lead at all times.

East Hackettstown

Less than a mile from Budd Lake is East Hackettstown in Hackettstown, where you will find the beautiful Stephens State Park. This beautiful park sprawls out for 805 acres, and features the Musconetcong River flowing through it, offering up pawtastic fishing opportunities. The park is home to a playground, picnic areas, a campsite and boat launches, as well as six miles of marked trails for you and Fido to follow. The trails vary greatly in length, from the half mile Fire Tower Loop Trail to the 2.8 mile Maze Loop Trail. If your pooch needs a longer walk, there is a 2.3 mile section of the Highlands Trail that cuts through this park, which then continues on for over 100 miles.

Musconetcong River

The town of Stanhope is less than a mile from Budd Lake, and offers up some pawsome activities to enjoy with your pooch. One of the highlights of this neighborhood is the 20 acre Furnace Pond Park, which is home to the four acre Furnace Pond. There is a trail that loops its way around the pond, but keep in mind that the vegetation can often be quite overgrown here, especially in the warmer months. When it comes to the park's vegetation, there is quite the diversity here, from white ash and black cherry trees to garlic mustard shrubs and Japanese honeysuckle vines, resulting in such a tranquil natural setting.

Allen Terrace

The neighborhood of Allen Terrace in Netcong is less than a mile from Budd Lake, and there are a couple of parks here that your pooch will love exploring. Begin at the Dominick Arbolino Memorial Park, which is located on the banks of Lake Musconetcong, providing picturesque views all around. The park boasts a playground, a few different sports facilities, and picnic shelters that are sat right by the river's edge. Just a couple of blocks away from here is DiRenzo Park, which also enjoys a lakeside location. Although this park is smaller, it is still worth exploring, with its playground, gazebo, and wooded area.

Eyland Wood

Just over a mile from Budd Lake is the Succasunna neighborhood of Eyland Wood, and this is quite a green part of town. This is where you will find Kiwanis Park, which stretches out for just under two acres. The park has recently enjoyed an upgrade, and now boasts brand new sports facilities and a playground, as well as a paved path that will take you and Fido through the park. If your pooch prefers rugged natural beauty to well-manicured neighborhood parks, head on over to Eyland Woods. This is a passive green space, filled with a dense covering of trees, making it pawfect for a tail-wagging walk with your pup.
