Dog walking in Wyldwood

Historic Bastrop

Bastrop's Bark Park is only about 11 miles from Wyldwood, and it's just one of many dog parks in the area that we're sure Fido will fall head over paws for! The large park is divided into two separate sections, with one being for small dogs and the other being for large dogs. On especially hot days, your dog will love going for a dip in one of the kiddie pools provided by the park. If your dog isn't a swimmer and prefers running around, that's no problem. Bark Park has several auto-filling water bowls to keep your pup cooled off.

Tahitian Village

Chances are that your furry friend loves going for walks, and if you're looking for somewhere new to explore together, make sure to try Bastrop State Park! There are over seven miles of hiking trails winding through the woods here, and Fido is welcome to join you on any of the trails. You'll want to make sure they stay on a leash that's no longer than six feet. Wildlife is known to explore the park, and letting your pup get too far ahead of you increases their chance of running into a critter or two. Make sure to bring plenty of water and waste baggies!

You should be aware that this dog park is not fenced-in, so you'll want to keep a close eye on your dog.
