Dog River Field

Address: 781 Dog River Rd, Montpelier, VT 05602

Paths lead down to the river from this open field in Montpelier, giving dogs a scenic stretch to explore — but leashes are required, as this is not an official off-leash area. The grass runs long, and there are no waste disposal facilities on site, so come prepared. No fencing, no parking lot, and no benches means it's a fairly rugged, informal spot. Families with puppies or reactive dogs may want to look elsewhere.
