This amazingly peaceful area is something that you and your pup do not want to miss, it is the actual best place to take your dog on a walk in Tennessee.
This wooded adventure area is a really giant wooded area that is located in a. Very convenient place that overlooks the Tennessee river, as we said, and the French Broad Rivers. There are dozens of different trials that you can take out there, tons of new things to look at every time you visit. All of the trails are different in that they have different levels of difficulty and length, so make sure that you pick a good one for you and your pup.

Also, just a little pro tip, if you go to the Forks of the River Trails in the summer, then you should park your car on the French Broad River side, to see the absolutely stunning fields of sunflower and they hired a consulting arborist to keep their trees in perfect condition. It’s a sight that you, you r family, and your pup aren’t going to want to miss on your very incredible trip.
The Southern
Branching off again in our variety of dog friendly places is The Southern. The Southern is this amazing steakhouse that’s located right in the center of Nashville, it’s really the perfect place to go when you need to get a delicious bite of food, but it is also amazing for a variety of other reasons.
A big reason that this restaurant is so amazing, and something that they themselves have tons of pride about, is there extremely impressive variety of oyster for their guests to choose from. They also pride themselves on sustainably sourced meats and fish, which is amazing because it keeps the food, we eat extremely fresh. He last big thing that they pride themselves on there is the fact that they used local produce, which again, means the freshest possible dishes for patrons such as you and I.
Something that you should know before making the long drive to this amazing steak house is the fact that it is extremely popular. It has tons of patrons going in and out of the place at all times, from opening to closing, and you might not get a table. It’s first come first serve, so make sure that you get there quick, or get there at a good time. A good thing about it is that our can just avoid all the stress of having to hope for a seat, you can just make a quick reservation and have it ready by the time you and your family, and your pup get there.
Now, the last, but certainly not the least fact about this place, is that it is pet friendly. We already said that they let pets in, but there is a few things that you need to know about it before you take your pup there. The patio specifically is what is pet friendly, and the outdoor seating, I’m not completely sure if they allow your friendly pup into the actual building itself, but I wouldn’t bet on it. So, make sure that you are prepared to eat outside with your pup in the amazing Tennessee sun.
Bicentennial Mall State Park
Another great place to take your pup is of course to a park, or maybe a giant state park that you both can have a ton of fun exploring. This is one of Tennessee’s prettiest places to visit and is one of the most historic as well.
It is just a full 19-acres of amazing views and amazing memories to make.

This park is absolutely amazing, it has spectacular views, and best of all your pup is allowed to come with you as long as they are on a leash. As we already established, they need to be on a leash because everyone needs to stay safe, You, your pup, and the people around you.
Lastly, once you and your pup get done exploring the amazing park, you can head across the street to the weekly farmers market, maybe pick up a few treats for your pup and yourself.
