Situated near the East Piney River, Buckner Park is a great place to take your pup for a walk. You can stroll along the paved walking path or take Fido into the ball field to chase a frisbee or toy. After getting some exercise, relax on a bench or the shaded picnic tables and get a cool drink of water. You can also hike over to Buckner Lake and go fishing or just watch the wildlife with your pooch and the kids. You will need to keep your pup on a leash and bring your own doggie waste bags. 

Pooch-friendly accommodations are important if you are spending time in Dickson. There are nine different hotels that welcome pups and Super 8 is one of the best. Super8 allows up to two pets for an additional fee, but you need to make reservations in advance. They will try to give you a room on the first floor, and there is a grassy area next door to the motel where you and Fido can walk around and stretch your legs. The Best Western Executive Inn also welcomes two dogs, with room doors that open to the outside. The rooms are large with plenty of space for your pup inside, and there is a nice open grassy area with shade trees where you can walk Fido. Comfort Inn is another option when staying in Dickson, and they welcome two pets for an additional fee.
