Washington Valley Park in Martinsville is a beautiful place to visit with your dog. Covering a huge 719-acre space, this is the place for some serious outdoor activity. The main trail is known as the Red Trail, but there are many shorter connecting trails that together make up over seven miles of walking paths around the large reservoir. These trails are known to be quite rocky in places, so watch your footing and keep an eye on your dog’s paws. Make sure you are decked out with comfortable shoes, insect repellent and sunscreen. You will need to keep your dog on the lead here and pack ample water for you both. There are lovely little spots to stop for a picnic too.

A little drive east of Somerville is Somerset where there is a picturesque section of the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park Trail. Part of the Rails-to-trails network, this trail follows the Raritan River around the top of South Bound Brook. The entire trail is just shy of 38 miles, but you can choose as much or as little as you like. The elevation is low, so it is a walk suitable for all levels of fitness and ability. Your pup needs to stay on a leash here, and always clean up after him. You will also need to bring your water bottle and drinking bowl, as there aren’t any fountains along this section.
