After a long day sitting on the couch, your doggy deserves a vacation too! Bring your fur baby along for a visit to Eatonton. Whether your pooch is an athletic hound or a lovable lap dog, Eatonton has pet-friendly attractions for every kind of pup.
For the Peppy Pup: Oconee Springs & Rock Hawk Effigy
Spend the day lakeside with your four-legged friend at Oconee Springs Park. Located right off Lake Sinclair, bring your lab along for a swim that’ll get them dog-tired by the end of the day. Cast your line while taking in the gorgeous view, powered by the park’s on-site kayak and paddleboard rentals. This family-friendly spot also has an on-water water park with slides, trampolines and obstacle courses.
Not a water dog? Take your terrier for a hike along Rock Hawk Effigy & Trails’ 30-mile trails. Learn about Eatonton’s effigy legacy all while immersed in wetlands and wildlife, or pack your camping gear and spend the night under the stars.
For the Peaceful Pup: Butterflies & Blooms in the Briar Patch & Pet-Friendly Restaurants
Walk with your bulldog on the relaxing quarter-mile trail around the Butterflies & Blooms in the Briar Patch. This five-acre garden space has leafy plants along with perennial and annual flowers, perfect for sniffing while you get your steps in for the day. Don’t forget to visit the volunteer-led pollinator habitat to look at (but don’t touch) butterflies that keep the garden vibrant all year long.
End your long walk with a rejuvenating treat at one of Eatonton’s dog-friendly restaurants. Enjoy thirst-quenching local pints at Bruzze Brewing and savor Lake Oconee Bistro’s signature seafood dishes on their pet-friendly patios.
