Dog Friendly Parks & Hikes
Tanner Park is not an official dog park, but leashed dogs are allowed on the park's many trails. The park goes down in a gully and at the bottom there is a bridge where many folks let their dogs off leash to play in the creek. The current is strong, so please use caution. This is not a typical fenced dog park, but more like hiking in the wilderness. There are no bathrooms or watering areas. There are a number of bag and waste stations. Please be aware that the hike back up and out is quite steep and the road is dirt and rock.
