Summertime isn’t just a popular time of year for humans; it’s also a favorite for dogs. If you live in Cincinnati, particularly downtown, you might have trouble finding enough green space for your dog to expend their energy. Below, Joe, Carol, and Peggy at Robinwood Kennel in Highland Heights, KY, who offer reputable cat and dog boarding, share four places in the Cincinnati area your dog can exercise and cool off in the water afterward.

Where to Take Your Dog for a Swim in Cincinnati This Summer

1. Otto Armleder Dog Park

Otto Armleder Park is located on Wooster Road and is one of the newest parks in Cincinnati, and your dog will love the fresh territory. It’s composed of 238 acres and is managed by both the Cincinnati Recreation Commission and Great Parks of Hamilton County. In addition to being dog-friendly, it also has hiking trails, shelters, large fields, and a playground. Once your dog is finished running around the area, they can jump into the Little Miami Scenic River nearby.

2. Avoca Park

Avoca Park is located on Little Miami Scenic Trail in Cincinnati. It’s popular for biking, walking, and dog exercise. Like Otto Armleder Park, it’s close to the Little Miami River, which is accessible by following the trail within the park. Your dog will enjoy cooling off in the river after trotting through the tree-covered trail.

3. Hueston Woods State Park

While Hueston Woods State Park is located approximately one hour outside of Cincinnati, your dog will appreciate the extra drive. Not only does it have a three-acre dog area, but it also has a dog beach with access to a lake. You can tire your dog out by following one of 12 hiking trails through the park, then finish the day with a refreshing swim in the lake. For those who have been out of town and keeping their pet at a dog boarding facility, this day trip will be a special treat to make up for your absence. Your dog will appreciate the one-on-one quality time together.
