Whether you’re a local looking for a new adventure or visiting our charming lakeside city for the day, here’s your guide to some of Acworth’s favorite dog-friendly spots.

PARKS

Check out Logan Farm Park for miles of paved walking trails and wide-open green spaces to enjoy with your furry friend. Bonus: stop and smell the flowers at the Acworth Community Garden. Looking for lake views? Cauble Park is a perfect spot for you and your pup! While pets are not allowed on the beach, there’s still plenty of space to stretch those four legs, from walking trails to grassy areas, or even atop a paddle board or kayak out on the water.

PATIOS

You’ll never run out of options for dinner (lunch, breakfast, or dessert!) with your doggy. Acworth has a whole host of outdoor seating options, so you can go out and enjoy a delicious meal without leaving your furry family member at home. For lunch and dinner, try 1885 Grill, Caribbean Vibes, Center Street Tavern, Keegan’s Irish Pub, or J.D.’s Bar-B-Que. Then, hang out on Scoops big back deck for some ice cream and a pup cup!

PLAY

Red Top Brewhouse + Kitchen steals the spotlight with the one and only dog park in Historic Downtown Acworth! Spend the day (or night) relaxing with a pint, enjoying some tasty snacks, and letting your pup make some friends in the fenced-in dog area, or stay and hang out for a while in the massive outdoor seating area, complete with a heated patio and fire pits as the colder months start rolling in. This is the ultimate spot for dog-lovers, and you’ll want to return again and again!
