Take A State Park Road Trip With Your Pup

Road trips are always more fun when your dog is able to come along. At Fairfield Residential, our pets are family. If they can go on vacation with us, we’re taking them! What’s more fun for your pup than exploring new outdoor landscapes such as trails and campgrounds? For that very reason, we’ve gathered a list of state parks where you can bring your fur baby along.

Rules vary at each state park so be sure to do your research before you go! Most require dogs to be on a leash no longer than 6 to 10ft depending on the park (the majority listed here are 6ft). Some parks allow dogs on trails and some don’t. Click the links below to get more detailed information about where you can bring Fido along.
