Ridgway Off Leash Area

Situated in the River Walkway Trail System, Ridgway Off-Leash Area offers visitors and their dogs a chance to hike or go for a swim in a gorgeous Colorado setting. An ideal location for visitors seeking the thrill of outdoor activities, Ridgway area is also a favorite pet-friendly area.

Having a “railroad town” history behind it, Ridgway is home to some of the most photographed mountains in the world, surrounded by steep forests and cliffs. Some of its most recognizable wildlife includes coyotes, bears, bald eagles, mountain lions, badgers, deer and wild turkey.

The Ridgway off-leash area is a well-marked, unfenced, property where owners can take their dogs for a swim or play in the nearby river. It’s also a great place to go running alongside your furry companion or go for a relaxing stroll, surrounded by picturesque views of the mountains. 

Even though dogs are allowed off-leash in the area, owners need to make sure their pups are well-behaved and under their voice control when outside of the designated property. If you want to take your dog to the Historic Business District, on the Uncompahgre River Trail or anywhere otherwise posted, then they must be on a 6-foot leash at all times.

At Ridgway Off Leash Area, owners are advised to pick up after their dogs and dispose of the waste in designated containers. Maintaining the area in proper condition is very important, which is why all handlers should bring their bag dispensers along if the location does not provide any.

Whether you want to go hiking, swimming, or walk alongside your furry best friend on a summer afternoon, Ridgway Off-Leash Area is the best place you can choose. Exercise your pup in one of Colorado’s most beautiful locations and take Fido on an adventurous hike today!
