There is a 1.3 mile paved trail in this park that Fido will love, just remember to bring a lead, doggie bags and drinking water. Laurence Harbor also provides access to the 1274 acre Cheesequake State Park, where you will find everything from open fields to freshwater marshes to hardwood forests, as well as trails that will take you and Fido through all of this.
