Dog Walking in McDowell Sonoran Preserve


  • Looking to commune with nature? Take the furry friend to Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve, totaling approximately 35,500 acres of protected Sonoran Desert land featuring miles of untouched terrain, perfect for leisurely walks or heart-pumping hikes (on- or off-leash).
  • Chaparral Park offers a three-acre, off-leash doggie arena that includes grass frolic zones, turf areas, seating (for people), play features and water fountains. More furry fun can be found at the City’s other two dog parks, Horizon Park and Vista del Camino Park.
  • The Arizona Canal Path is one of the longest multi-use trails – popular with pups, on- or off-leash – in Maricopa County, running between Scottsdale, the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community, Phoenix, Peoria and Glendale along both sides of the Arizona Canal, one of the county's vital waterways. The trail is paved at some parts and unpaved at others. Run, Fido, run!
