Sunsets + dogs? Arguably the best combo. Whether you’re looking for a quiet moment, an epic view, or a photo-worthy evening, here are some of the best sunset spots near Charlotte to enjoy with your pup.
🌅 1. Latta Nature Preserve – Huntersville, NC
Easy trails, lake views, and quiet water access points where the sun dips right over the trees. Bonus: it’s usually not crowded at golden hour.
🌇 2. Romare Bearden Park – Uptown Charlotte
Skyscrapers meet sky color. Great for people who love an urban backdrop and want to snap a city-meets-sunset moment with their dog.
🌲 3. Frank Liske Park – Concord, NC
Wide open fields, walking trails, and a peaceful setting as the sun sets behind the trees. Perfect for a sunset session if you’re in the Concord area.
🌄 4. McDowell Nature Preserve – Lake Wylie
Lakeside views and wooded paths with elevated spots for a perfect glowing backdrop. Bring a blanket and relax post-hike with your pup.
📸 Sunset sessions are my favorite. If you’re already visiting one of these locations, let’s plan a session that captures your dog in the best light (literally).
