Dog Parks and Pet-Friendly Trails Near Trails End
Living at Trails End puts several Burlington-area outdoor destinations within easy reach when your dog is ready to get out and explore.
Jiggs Askew Dog Park
Located within Burlington City Park, Jiggs Askew Dog Park offers approximately two acres of fenced, off-leash space. The park includes separate areas for smaller and older dogs and for larger dogs, along with benches and access to water. First-time users must register their dog with Burlington Recreation & Parks before using the park.
Burlington City Park is also a convenient option when you would rather keep your pup on leash and enjoy a walk together. The City Park trail winds through the larger park, and leashed dogs are permitted on the trail.
Great Bend Park and the Haw River Trail
For a more nature-focused outing, head to Great Bend Park at Glencoe. This wooded riverfront park connects with the Haw River Trail and provides opportunities for scenic walks near the Haw River. Pets are permitted on the trails when kept on leash, making it a great choice for dogs that would rather hike than mingle at an off-leash park.
The broader Haw River Trail includes multiple trailheads and river access points throughout the Burlington and Alamance County area, giving local pet owners several options for exploring the outdoors.

Springwood Park Trail
For an easy everyday walk with your dog, Springwood Park Trail is another pet-friendly option in Burlington. The 2.2-mile paved loop circles Springwood Park and is suitable for walking or running, with plenty of open space along the route. Dogs are welcome on the trail as long as they remain on leash. The paved surface also makes this a convenient choice when you want a longer walk without tackling a more rugged hiking trail.

Guilford Mackintosh Trail
Another option for active dogs and their owners is the Guilford Mackintosh Trail near Lake Mackintosh. There are several wooded loop options ranging from half a mile up to three miles, with lake views along the way. Dogs are welcome but must remain on leash.
Pet-Friendly Restaurants, Breweries and Patios in Burlington
A pet-friendly lifestyle doesn't have to end when the walk is over. Burlington and the surrounding area also offer places where dogs can join their owners for a relaxed afternoon or evening.
Cork & Cow
Located in Burlington's Alamance Crossing area, Cork & Cow offers wine, small plates and an outdoor patio that has been identified as dog-friendly. It can be an easy option when you want to spend some patio time with your pup without traveling far from home.

Zia Taproom
Zia Taproom on Rural Retreat Road offers a casual self-pour taproom experience in Burlington. The business indicates that “fur babies” are welcome, making it another local option for pet owners looking for a laid-back place to socialize.

Red Oak Lager Haus & Biergarten
For a slightly longer outing, Red Oak Lager Haus & Biergarten in nearby Whitsett explicitly welcomes friendly, leashed dogs both indoors and outdoors. Its spacious biergarten makes it an especially appealing stop when you want to enjoy time outside with your dog.

Having pet services nearby can make everyday life a little easier, too. The Natural Dog Pet Food Market on South Church Street carries pet food, treats and supplies and offers services that include self-wash and grooming.
For veterinary care, Plaza Veterinary Hospital on Ramada Road provides small-animal care for dogs and cats, while Pawsome Canine Grooming offers local dog grooming services in Burlington.
