Do you like to do activities outdoors with your four-legged friends? Canine companions are amazing, but not always welcome at local parks for activities. Finding dog-friendly attractions is tough, but the great outdoors is always an easier option. Thankfully, Platte River State Park is here with plenty of space for you and your dog to have adventures.

Welcome to today's adventure, Platte River State Park, where you and your dog can enjoy tandem activities outdoors, where dogs love to be.

Exploring the 6.7-mile loop trail with your four-legged friend is always a great adventure, with plenty to see, smell, and navigate around. Dogs do have to have a leash, but they can still come with you nonetheless.

There's a peaceful little spillover on this trail, great for a hike with your pup with or without the family. The trail is rated as moderate, so it's not too tough for most people to navigate and hike.

Even in the colder months, this park can be something gorgeous. Beautiful frozen water and icy paths are a bit harder to traverse, but just as fun as sifting through leaves.

The park is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, for trail and other use. There is a park entry permit needed to visit this state park for activities, so make sure that's squared away before you arrive.
