Houston Arboretum & Nature Center
With 5 miles of walking pathways that meander through forest, meadow, and wetland ecosystems, the 155-acre nature sanctuary at the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center is dog-friendly. Please observe all local laws, such as keeping your dog on a leash at all times and picking up after it when you visit the Arboretum. The trails must be kept dog-free (no swimming in the ponds). Only the tiled portions of the lobby are dog-friendly. Consider going on a self-guided Habitat Walk.
