West Portsmouth
Riverside Park in West Portsmouth is an easy 3.6-mile drive over the Scioto River from Portsmouth town. Here, you will find picnic areas, grills, a playground and plenty of open space to enjoy with your pooch. Take the walking trail from the recreation area down to the river for a bit of exploring, or walk the perimeter of the park while the kids play. If you are looking to get some extra steps in for the day, seek out the Alan Eckert Trail from the park for a two-mile hike. The terrain here is relatively flat, but it is not paved so wear appropriate footwear. Pack clean up bags and water for you both, and keep you pup leashed while on the trail.
