The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Oakland

48

Ramapo River Trce

The 20-acre Baldwin Sanctuary, located off of Ramapo Valley Road, offers a small trail system that will make your pup wag it like he means it. The sniff-tastic trails meander through a forested wetland with plenty of bird life to observe along the way. Trails pass along the Ramapo River where you might spot some fossils along the bank. Parking is very limited on the edge of the road and you may want to arrange to have someone drop you off and pick you up after your adventure. The area is also easy to reach by a canoe from one of the boat landings nearby.

36

Dogwood South

The Veterans Park is a tribute to those who served the country. For your pup who might not know as much about history, the park offers a large open grassy area and trees waiting to be sniffed. You and your pooch will enjoy a pleasant walk through this park where he can investigate the  sights and smells of the place. The open area is a great place for some fetching or Frisbee. This park does not have recreational facilities or picnic areas, but is a great place to just enjoy the outdoors. 

24

Franklin Avenue

Less than seven miles from Oakland in nearby Wycoff, the Gardens of Wykoff provides an idyllic spot for some exercise in the midst of suburbia. The beautiful flowers in the spring make for a picturesque leashed walk with your pup. Enjoy the short trails through the rose garden and past the small pond. You can also enjoy a dog-tastic leashed walk through the JA McFaul Environmental Center. Bring along a picnic for after your walk around the property. There is plenty of wildlife to observe and watch as you walk. Take a rest along the way at the strategically placed benches along the trails.

12

Eder Avenue

The Sicomac Avenue Woods Park, located in the nearby town of Wyckoff, is just seven miles from Oakland. Built around a dozen ponds connected by brooks and streams, the woods offers a sniff-tastic stroll for your pup. The park has a scenic nature path that you and your pup will enjoy, as well as a quarter-mile track. Bring along your picnic to enjoy after your walk for a paw-some day. The Minisink Indian Trail from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean also passes through this neighborhood, and local history tells us that the famous Hackensack Indian Chief Oratam is buried here. 

0

Baker Pond

Franklin Swamp Acq, just eight miles from Oakland, offers parks, playgrounds and recreation opportunities in the town of Franklin Lakes. There are two primary hiking trails that promise a pup-tastic walk. The main trail is the 1.5-mile Shoreline Loop Trail, which encircles the entire Upper Lake and Lagoon from the parking area and across the dam. The Island Bridges Trail is about a half a mile in length, and heads back to the Shoreline Loop Trail across two floating bridges. Pull on your good hiking boots and get your pup leashed for a pawsome walk on these sniff-tastic nature trails.
