4 Dog Friendly Spots Around Liberty County

Spending time outdoors in the summer is more fun when your furry, 4-legged friend tags along! Put your walking shoes on, and get your pup ready to #ExploreLiberty! Keep reading to learn more about some of our favorite dog friendly spots for y’all to enjoy.

1) Bryant Commons

Looking for a quick escape outdoors without ever leaving Hinesville? Head over to Bryant Commons. It’s a 150-acre passive park loaded with amenities including Cisco’s Dog Park! Your pet will love getting to run around, play and make new four-legged friends. The dog park has a side for big and small dogs, so he or she will fit right in no matter the size! Relax under the old oak trees or take a walk along the one-mile walking trail. No matter how you choose to spend time here, it is sure to keep tails wagging!

2) Fort Morris Historic Site

Located along our intracoastal waterways, Fort Morris State Historic Site is full of views of the St. Catherines Sound, nature trails and history forged from the earth. It is Georgia’s only Revolutionary historic site where the original earthworks remain. The mounds have been preserved for over 200 years, so be sure not to walk on them as you stroll along! Fort Morris only allows leashed pets. Interested in learning more about the history? Take a solo trip and visit the museum to learn how the fort was used to protect our coast so many years ago.

Pro-tip: Use our birding guide to see if you can spot hummingbirds, buntings, and more while adventuring at Fort Morris. It is a stop along the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, so you’re likely to see them flying around and hear their beautiful songs!

3) Cay Creek Interpretive Wetlands Center

Begin your walk at Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center by strolling down the boardwalk that is 7/10ths of a mile. You will start by making your way through freshwater wetlands and end in the saltwater marsh! You will have a chance to see a total of 8 different ecosystems and the creatures that inhabit them as you make your way down. There is signage located throughout, so you and your pup can learn new things while getting some exercise! If you’re looking to get more information about the site, contact the City of Midway by calling (912) 884-3344.

4) Historic Baptismal Trail

Located in Riceboro, you will find the Historic Baptismal Trail. It is one of our favorite sites because it’s peaceful and packed with history! When you visit, you’ll learn about how it was an active holy place for over 100 years. Members of the Gullah Geechee community were once baptized in the creek that remains. Learn more about the significance of the site from the signage located along the trail while your doggo chases the various creatures who call it home! The tour is self-guided so you can spend as much time here as you’d like. For more information contact the City of Riceboro by calling (912) 884-2986.

Looking for a way that both of you can unwind? Take a drive down one of our many dirt roads. This is an activity that both of you will enjoy! One of our personal favorite spots to cruise along is Old Sunbury Road. Head east on Hwy 84, cross over I-95, and you will make a left onto Old Sunbury Road. You will pass Tradeport East Business Park before hitting the dirt road lined with oak trees dripping in Spanish moss.

We know that you and your dog will have lots of fun in the sun visiting these places together! We do ask that you be mindful whenever you #ExploreLiberty and help keep our community clean and safe. Make sure that you have some doggy bags and a leash with you when you’re out adventuring!
