Dog walking in Pleasant View

Whites Creek

The Trails at Fontanel is a pawesome place for a hike in the vicinity of Pleasant View. This loop trail is around 2.6 miles long and it's rated as a moderate trail. Along the way, you will be able to admire the wildflowers, birds, and wildlife. The trail is lightly trafficked, making it great for timid pups, and it's used all year long. The trail is well-maintained but it's not paved. The trees that line the trail provide plenty of shade and fresh air! Your pooch can accompany you as long as they are leashed and well-behaved. Don't forget water and poop baggies for cleaning up. 

Northwood Terrace

If you prefer to let your pooch romp around in a securely fenced area, you can visit the Heritage Bark Park. This two-acre park is completely fenced so doggies can hang out off-leash. There are plenty of shade trees in one part of the park if you need some relief from the sun. There are three different sections in this park: one is for small dogs, another is for large pups, and the third one is an agility play area. At the entrance of the park, you will find a water source. Waste baggies are also at your disposal, as well as plenty of doggie toys! 

West End Park

Another pawssible place to exercise your pooch in a fenced area is Centennial Dog Park. This park is situated in West End Park in Nashville, around 28 miles away from Plesant View. Pooches that visit this place have to be vaccinated and licensed! If you have a smaller doggo that is scared of larger pups, this park provides a separate area where your pooch can safely play.  Other than having a large open field with plenty of fur friends to play with, this park also provides a water source and waste baggies for cleaning up. Benches and shade for the human visitors are provided as well. 

Bellevue

Nashville's Bellevue neighborhood is a quiet district that's ruffly 13 miles from downtown, away from the hustle and bustle, and 32 miles from Pleasant View. Edwin Warner Dog Park is located here, and your pooch will pawsitively love it! You don't need to worry about bringing water with you since the park has a water fountain. While your pooch meets new friends, you can sit back and relax on the benches provided. There is also a parking lot close to the park. When it rains, the park tends to get a bit muddy, so bringing a towel with you might be a good idea. Bring waste baggies as well so you can keep the park clean.

Northwest Ashland City

The Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail winds along the Cumberland River, and it's a pawesome place to walk with your leashed doggo. This 6.7-mile trail is located a little closer to Pleasant View, at around 12 miles away. The surface of the trail is mixed -- some parts are paved, others are gravel. Cyclists and horses are also allowed on the trail, so make sure your pup gets along well with those on four legs (and two wheels!) before going there. Almost all the trail is shaded, and you can learn more about the flora and fauna in the area at plaques posted along the trail. Don't forget to take water and poop baggies with you!
