4 Scenic Dog-Friendly Trails in Liberty County

Warm summer days are what we are known for here in coastal Georgia. Summer activities such as kayaking and or a dip in a local pool is the perfect way to cool off during the warm season! We also have activities for the beautiful transition into fall! The cooler temperatures and the changing of the leaves are the perfect scenery for long walks, especially with our furry family members! With safety and sanitation being our top priority, make sure you keep leashes on and carry baggies for potty breaks! We hope you enjoy this incredible list of scenic dog trails right here in Liberty County!

Cay Creek

If you haven’t visited Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center yet, you are definitely missing out! This scenic boardwalk stretches 7/10ths of a mile and takes you across several ecosystems. You will see the change in the flora and fauna as you move from freshwater wetlands into the saltwater marsh. It’s a great opportunity for a quick walk in the evening for both you and your pups! It’s open dawn to dusk so make sure you’re checking the sunrise/set.

Fort Morris

Our state historic site is one of the most peaceful places in Liberty County! Tucked away in the marsh grass of the coast, this fort sets the perfect scene for a nice long walk. Although dogs aren’t allowed inside the museum, the fort itself and the grounds are welcome to leashed pets. We know Spot will appreciate the view of St. Catherine’s Sound as much as you will!

Historic Baptismal Trail

Our coastal town of Riceboro has beautiful scenery and so many hidden gems, but the Historic Baptismal Trail is one of our favorites! The boardwalk takes you down the path that was used for over 100 years by African American church goers who headed towards the water to be baptized into the Christian faith. This holy trail is perfect for some quiet time with your four-legged friend.

Bryant Commons

Located in the heart of Hinesville, this park is a quick trip to nature without leaving the city! Bryant Commons is a 150-acre passive park, with amenities that include a playground, an amphitheater, public restrooms, Veterans Memorial walk, a one-mile walking trail around the 15-acre pond, and a dog park! A walk around these scenic dog trails is sure to keep tails wagging!
