FOUR LEGGED FUN & GAMES
By Mark Winkler
THERE WAS A TIME when traveling with a dog could get you treated like a shady character but these days, often, your dog is as welcome as you are! Fortunately, the days of leaving your dog home when you travel are gone. A look
through our lodging guide reveals a wide range of options that are pet-friendly and dogs are also welcome at many of our best restaurants – just look for the paw print next to listings in our“ Lodging Section” pages 65, 114 – 119 and our“ Dining Section,” pages 98 – 108.
OFF LEASH PARKS: When a workout is in
‘ Dogs Run Free’ Dogpark, Grass Valley
order, the“ Dogs Run Free” area in Condon Park in Grass Valley is perfect. Pioneer Park in Nevada City is also an“ unofficial” dog park or if you’ d prefer a trip to Western Gateway Park in Penn Valley, there’ s a great dog park there too. At Truckee River Regional Park unleashed dogs under strict voice and visual control are welcome in winter. ON LEASH PICKS: Bridgeport’ s South Yuba River State Park is a delight, where dogs on-leash are allowed on all trails. Dogs are not allowed in the water near the park ' s main attraction, a 251- foot-long, historic covered bridge. Another fine place to hike with your dog is the Independence Trail, which takes off from Highway 49 north of Nevada City.
We know you’ re out to have responsible fun and you’ ll be sure to be courteous along the way because if you didn’ t, you wouldn’ t be the person your dog thinks you are. That’ s why you and your dog are welcome all around Nevada County!
