Dog walking in Warren

Nayatt

Pull on your walking shoes, pop Fido on a lead and head 3.5 miles east to Veterans Memorial Park in nearby Barrington. This beautiful park covers over 230 acres, including an 84-acre pond known as the Brickyard due to its historical significance as an old brick-making site. There are three easy trails here, the longest being the one-mile Green Trail. The Blue and Red interconnecting trails are a further 0.5 and 0.75 miles respectively and there are maps available at the trailheads. Keep your eyes peeled for birds including ospreys, bald eagles and even owls near dusk. Dogs are permitted throughout Veterans Memorial Park, but must remain leashed, and all waste is taken with you.

Willett Ave

Let your pup run free from the lead at the nearby Barrington Dog Park at Haines Memorial State Park in Barrington. There is one large, double-gated fenced area for dogs to socialise and play, with benches for you to relax at while you supervise. You will need to bring water and a drinking bowl for your dog, but there are waste bags provided. The wider Haines Memorial State Park covers just over 100 acres and offers picnic facilities, restrooms, ball fields and access to Bullock Cove. The East Bay Bike Path runs right through the park.

Bristol Highlands

The Colt State Park in Bristol is a beautiful place to visit if you are in the area. Set over an impressive 464 acres of coastline, forest and well-manicured lawns, this place is often referred to as a ‘gem’ of the Rhode Island State Parks System. And luckily for your furry friend, the park welcomes pups of all sizes, provided they are leashed. There are over four miles of paved bike paths through the park that offer easy walks and spectacular views over Narragansett Bay. Pack yourself some lunch and seek out one of the six picnic groves for a rest, and take some time to relax in this peaceful park with your canine companion by your side.

Barrington Town Center

The Osamequin Nature Trails and Bird Sanctuary in the north of neighboring Barrington is just 3.6 miles from Warren, and a beautiful spot for a walk with your dog. There are four trails through this 42-acre preserve, each marked with a colour for easy navigating and totalling 1.5 miles. There is a huge variety of wildlife to see here, including horseshoe crabs and even a rare diamondback terrapin. Dogs are permitted here, but must remain leashed at all times, and all waste should be cleaned up. There aren’t any nearby amenities, so pack water for you both and any food you may like to enjoy on your travels.
