The real treat in this area, though, is Rio Vista Park. Located along the San Marcos River, this park is a great place to take your dog for a dip. There are also hiking and biking trails to explore, and picnic tables and benches where you can relax. Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they are kept leashed when out of the water.

Forest Hills
Located near Texas State University, the Forest Hills neighborhood is a great place to take your canine companion. If you need to cool down on a hot summer day, head to Lions Tube Rental, and spend a day on the Guadelupe River with your four-legged best friend. Lions is very dog friendly, but if your dog pops a tube, you will lose your deposit. Just remember to bring along doggy shoes to avoid this problem. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, stop by Bobcat Nation. This dog-friendly restaurant serves up hearty favorites like ribeye cheesesteaks and loaded potato soup, and it’s the perfect place for lunch or dinner with your pup in tow.
