 With
52 million canines in this country and growing, the American
Kennel Club and several US travel associations report an increasing
number of travelers who are taking their pets on short and extended
trips, by car and airplane. Traveling with a pet can be one
of life's joyous pleasures (think John Steinbeck’s Travels
With Charley), and road trippers are realizing that their furry
friends are perfect travel companions on long drives and great
protection on America’s highways and byways.
Pet Friendly Nashville
Nashville is an extremely pet friendly city offering a variety of lodgings, parks, attractions, shops and restaurants that welcome your four-legged companions. Most venues and parks require that your dogs stay leashed, but there are a few free-roam areas at certain times of the day. Most urban parks welcome leashed dogs, including Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park which has green areas for your pup play. J. Percy Priest Lake Park - 15 minutes from downtown Nashville - features miles of dog-friendly trails surrounding the beautiful lake.
