No judgement…just pure love. So, of course we want to take them with us pretty much wherever we go. And Calaveras County is just the place to spend quality time with our favorite people…ahem, pets. Dogtrekker.com says “ Friendly folks and dog-friendly accommodations make Calaveras a premier destination for traveling with your furry family member. ” Plus, we take animal love and care to heart. Check out the amazing work being done by the Calaveras Humane Society and Friends of Calaveras Animal Services to save the lives of hundreds of pets each year. Dog Friendly Outdoor Playgrounds Lake Trails – If you’re coming into the county and you’ve been in the car all day, check out the trails at New Melones and New Hogan Lake . Recreation trails here offer several short and moderate loops for a run or hike. Fall and spring are great times to hike these trails with your best friends because of the cooler temperatures, the grasses are green and the wildflowers are blooming in the spring or the golden colors of the changing season emerging in the fall. Pacific Valley Hiking Trails – In the Arnold area you’ll find the entrance to the Arnold Rim Trail , which has 30+ miles of single track and fire roads meandering through the conifers at about 4000 feet in elevation. Make the trek to the rocks known as Top of the World for spectacular sunset views of the coastal mountains and Sierra foothills. The ART is accessible year-round (with the exception of snow) and provides lots of welcome shade as the weather warms up. Note that the Arnold Rim Trail is also an equestrian and mountain biking trail, so make sure your pup has good recall if you are letting him off leash. Cameron Trail at New Hogan Lake is an easy 10.7 mile out-and-back trail perfect for bringing the pups. The trail isn’t too crowded, is nicely groomed, and easily accessible from the parking lot or campgrounds if you plan to stay a few days by the lake. Let’s Go For A Swim – Summer brings the opportunity to enjoy the high country and the hundreds of miles of recreation that the Stanislaus National Forest has to offer. Try a canoe outing on Spicer, Union or Utica reservoirs or Lake Camanche near Valley Springs (life jacket rentals available at SNAC and Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods in Arnold and Lake Camanche Marina in Valley Springs). Fun short day hikes include Osborn Ridge and Inspiration Point near Lake Alpine . In campgrounds and developed recreation areas, leash policies apply, but most other areas in the National Forest don’t require dogs on leash, so feel free to roam and swim! Dog Friendly Lodging & Restaurants Meet Copper the dog at The Gateway Hotel You may notice that many of our businesses (including many lodging properties) are dog-friendly (look for the paw-print icon at the top of individual listings). After a day on the lake, hiking, or just shopping and wine tasting, retreat to Copperopolis to be spoiled at the stunning Gateway Hotel where they will welcome your sweet fur-baby for a small pet fee. Gateway Adventure Company located across the plaza from the Gateway Hotel has pet supplies, just in case. Arnold Meadowmont Lodge hosts your furry friend close to all of the High Sierra adventure. Pet-friendly short term rentals abound in Calaveras! Enjoy a peaceful getaway in this secluded mountain atmosphere in the middle of a 60-acre Christmas tree farm in West Point at The Sugar Pine Cabin or the gorgeous Evergreen Dorrington for a little slice of mountain paradise. Photo Courtesy of Stevenot Winery Several businesses in downtown Murphys, Angels Camp, and Mokelumne Hill have water bowls outside just for your thirsty pets. A few ideas for dog-friendly dining on the patio in Murphys are House of Pita , V Restaurant, Bistro & Bar , or Alchemy all located on Main Street right in downtown Murphys. Hawg Dawg’s in Valley Springs and Renegade Winery in Mokelumne Hill all have dog friendly outdoor seating for food, wine, and craft beer. Make the stop at Posterity Ciderworks who love having dogs as well as their human companions come in for a visit! In Angels Camp, you can enjoy lunch at The Pickled Porch Cafe in historic downtown Angels Camp. Here at the Calaveras Visitors Bureau , we always keep a water bowl filled with fresh water outside the Angels Camp Museum. If you’re in Arnold or near the Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway, stop in to The Lube Room Saloon for a fantastic burger and plenty of room for dogs! Did you bring everything your dog will need for multi-day outings ? SNAC in Arnold will outfit your pup with its own life jacket for water adventures on the high country lakes, Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods has collapsible food and water bowls in Arnold and Spences Ranch Feed & Supply and Tractor Supply in Angels Camp also have a great selection of products for the four legged. Valley Springs Feed & Pet Supply has everything your dog might need while spending a few days on vacation. Relaxing on the rocky shore | Sandy Price If you’d like more dog-friendly recommendations (and there is so much more in Calaveras), please feel free to call us at the Calaveras Visitors Bureau at 209-736-0049 or drop us an email at
