Fall is the perfect season for exploring the outdoors with your four-legged friend. Crisp air, vibrant leaves, and fewer crowds make it ideal for hiking trails, camping, or taking a scenic road trip. Whether you’re looking for a cozy weekend getaway or an active adventure, these five dog-friendly destinations are great places to explore this fall.
And with the FOUR RUNNER™ Portable Pet Ramp, you can bring your pup along safely and easily. No heavy lifting required.
1. Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina & Virginia
Known as “America’s Favorite Drive,” the Blue Ridge Parkway offers hundreds of miles of scenic roads and trails with incredible mountain views. Many of the hiking trails are dog-friendly, making it easy for you and your pup to get out and stretch your legs.
Pro Tip: Bring the FOUR RUNNER Portable Pet Ramp so your dog can easily get in and out of your SUV during those scenic overlook stops.
2. Acadia National Park, Maine
Acadia is one of the most pet-friendly national parks in the U.S., with over 100 miles of trails and 45 miles of carriage roads open to leashed dogs. In the fall, the park’s rugged coastline and colorful foliage create a stunning backdrop for hiking or camping with your furry companion.
3. Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Just 75 miles outside of Washington, D.C., Shenandoah offers beautiful trails like the Stony Man Trail and Old Rag Mountain (both dog-friendly). The Skyline Drive is especially breathtaking in autumn, with fiery reds, golds, and oranges stretching for miles.
4. Lake Tahoe, California & Nevada
Lake Tahoe is a year-round playground for dogs and their owners. In the fall, you’ll find fewer crowds on the trails and plenty of dog-friendly beaches to explore before winter sets in.
FOUR RUNNER Advantage: The paw-friendly tread and rubber-backed top lip make it easy for your pup to climb into your truck or van after a long day of hiking.
5. Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee & North Carolina
The Smokies are famous for their fall colors, making this one of the most popular autumn destinations in the U.S. While not all trails are dog-friendly, you’ll find plenty of scenic roads, campgrounds, and picnic areas to enjoy with your pup.
