Sacramento

Dog-friendly Sacramento

Sacramento is where trips into the Central Valley, the Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta and the Sierra Nevada foothills begin. Sacramento’s main attraction for DogTrekkers is the 32-mile American River Parkway, a shady greenbelt cradling a dog-friendly trail that stretches from the Old Sacramento historic district to the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area.

Throughout Sacramento are parks, picnic areas, river beaches and countless other places where you and your dog can stretch your legs. After your hike or swim, treat yourself to a meal at one of Sacramento’s dog-friendly eateries.

The ulti-mutt in farm-fresh dining in Sacramento

Sacramento’s status as “America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital” comes from its proximity to more than 1.5 million acres of farmland that support some 160 crops. Nearly area farmers’ markets showcase local ingredients, and chefs incorporate these elements into incredible meals. From the elegant Citizen Hotel, it’s easy to find fresh flavors and excursions for two- and four-legged guests.

On the go in pup-centric Sacramento

DogTrekker readers love Sacramento’s parks and multi-use trails. The 32-mile American River Parkway might be the best known, and it’s also worth visiting the paths and playgrounds in and around downtown. Many are just blocks from restaurants that roll out the red carpet for pups. Book a stay at the Kimpton Sawyer and discover a different side of California’s capital.
