Dog walking in Coopersburg

Coopersburg

Coopersburg is a small town, but it still has plenty of options to take Fido out and about. One of the options available is the Meadowlands Recreation Area, which provides a large open space with thick trees and a small creek that runs through it. People can fish in the park while their dogs play in the open area. Although Fido does not need to be on a leash inside the area, you will need to remember to bring water and clean-up bags. Also in the city is a dog-friendly shop known as The Inside Scoop, which offers residents and pups ice cream cones and shakes. There are vanilla options for pups, and dog-friendly seating outside when you want to munch with Fido.
