Town of Duck

Your pooch will agree- a visit to Duck Town Park is the pawfect way to spend an afternoon. This furrific park is located in the heart of the Town of Duck in North Carolina’s famous Outer Banks. It is also nestled right on the shore of the Currituck Sound and provides your pal with a beautiful spot for getting some exercise.

Duck Town Park spreads across 11 acres and is comprised of four different ecosystems. A small network of trails meanders through the park. Your pal will love strolling along the paths and discovering the maritime deciduous forest, the maritime evergreen forest, the willow swamp, and the marsh. While wandering through the park, you’ll see a lovely amphitheater. When the weather is warm, theater performances, magic shows, and concerts are held here. Check the schedule to find an event your doggo can attend.

The park also has access to the town’s boardwalk. Follow this wooden walkway for a mellow stroll. Since it juts out into the sound, your pal can get an up close look at the water. From start to finish, the boardwalk is less than a mile and only a portion of it runs through the park. It’s definitely worth exploring the whole thing so your pal can get a feel for the charming Town of Duck.

Benches are strategically located throughout the park, so visitors can sit and enjoy the puptacular seaside scenery. Or you can pack a sandwich and have a leisurely lunch on one of picnic tables. Just don’t forget to bring a biscuit or two for your pup. Be sure to keep the park smelling fresh by taking advantage of the dog stations and trash cans. Restrooms are available for pet parents and there is a drinking fountain for dogs and their people. This is one park your pup will want to visit again and again!
