Top Dog-Friendly Trails at and Near Little Arrow
- Little Arrow’s Own Hiking Trails
- Start right here at the resort! We have quiet hiking trails with beautiful views overlooking Townsend and others that border the National Park. If you start from the trail entrance, these trails range from 1 to 2 miles, making them perfect for a leisurely walk with your dog.
- Gatlinburg Trail
- One of the few trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where pets are welcome, the Gatlinburg Trail is a gentle 3.8-mile round trip. It runs from the outskirts of Gatlinburg to the Sugarlands Visitor Center, offering river views and a relatively flat path suitable for all ages.
- Oconaluftee River Trail
- Another pet-friendly trail in the National Park, the Oconaluftee River Trail offers a peaceful 3-mile round trip walk. Located at the park’s south entrance, this trail features river scenery and is generally flat, ideal for an easy hike with your four-legged companion.
Remember, while exploring any trail, keep your dog on a leash and bring along water for both you and your pet, especially during the warmer months ahead!
