Cape Fear River Trail
The Cape Fear River Trail stretches more than seven miles one way along the Cape Fear River. The paved path travels through wooded scenery, wetlands, boardwalks, and areas filled with native plants and wildlife.
Pets must remain leashed, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them. Because the trail is not a loop, plan your distance and turnaround point before setting out.

J. Bayard Clark Park and Nature Center offers unpaved woodland trails and access to the Cape Fear River Trail. Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome on the trails.
For an especially cute outing, visit the Nature Center and ask about its free Bark Ranger Program. Participants pick up an activity pamphlet, complete simple activities while walking the trails, and help their dog earn an honorary Bark Ranger prize. Yes, your dog can finally add “Park Ranger” to their résumé.
Lake Rim Park
At Lake Rim Park, you and your leashed dog can explore a one-mile border trail through wetlands toward Bone Creek. It is a manageable option for a casual walk without committing to an all-day hike. Well-behaved pets are welcome as long as they remain leashed and under their owner’s control.
Carvers Creek State Park
For a longer outdoor adventure, Carvers Creek State Park offers scenic trails through longleaf pine forests, wetlands, ponds, and historic areas.
Pets are permitted on park trails but must remain on an attended leash no longer than six feet. Owners should clean up after their pets and yield to other trail users.

Tips for Exploring Fayetteville With Your Pet
Before heading out, pack a small pet-adventure kit with:
- A secure leash and collar
- Current identification and vaccination tags
- Fresh water and a portable bowl
- Waste bags
- Treats for positive reinforcement
- A towel for muddy paws
- Flea and tick protection recommended by your veterinarian
During warmer Fayetteville days, check the temperature of pavement before walking. Try the back-of-the-hand test: when pavement is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your pet’s paws. Morning and evening outings can be more comfortable during the summer.
