Pet-Friendly Trails
If you’re an outdoor adventurer with a passion for hitting the trails with your dog at your side, Danville is the place to be. Known and loved as the trailhead for both the iconic Kokosing Gap Trail and the Mohican Valley Trail, there’s no shortage of pet-friendly routes to explore here. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and enjoy having your pet included in the hiking fun when you set aside time to venture along these two trails. Do keep in mind that The Mohican Valley Trail is also open for horseback riding, so you might want to opt for the Kokosing Gap Trail if you have a canine that’s likely to get riled up by other animals. Either way, make sure you bring your camera to capture the moments you enjoy with your dog on these fun and decidedly scenic paths!

When you’re looking for terrific park stops to add to your pet-friendly itinerary, Wolf Run Regional Park in Mount Vernon has a 2-acre fenced “bark park” and a doggie agility playground.

What to Bring
When traveling with your pet in tow, it’s always a good idea to keep a running list of essentials so you’re ready for any and all occasions. Be sure to pack your dog’s leash when you head to Danville so that if you find yourself in a place where animals are allowed but must be leashed, you’re ready to go. Bringing a portable container of water is always a good idea for those days when the temperatures rise or you’re out for a hike together. Doggie bags are essential when keeping Danville at its best and it never hurts to pack some treats for the good behavior your pet is sure to bring along with them to Danville on your next trip.
