Not every great walk with your dog needs to be rugged and steep. Whether you're caring for a senior pup, pushing a stroller, or using a wheelchair, these accessible, low-impact trails across NC are beautiful, dog-friendly, and easy to enjoy.
🐾 1. Little Sugar Creek Greenway – Charlotte
A smooth, paved trail with water views, shade, and plenty of benches. It connects to several dog-friendly patios and works well for pups who tire easily.
🐾 2. Reynolda Gardens – Winston-Salem
Flat paths, gardens, and historic scenery make this a relaxing stroll. Leashed dogs are welcome, and the atmosphere is quiet and calm.
🐾 3. Tanglewood Park – Clemmons, NC
A beautiful spot for both walking and resting. Paved trails loop around ponds and through open fields—ideal for low-energy or older dogs.
🐾 4. McAlpine Creek Park – Charlotte
While some trails are dirt-packed, the main greenway is flat and smooth. Plenty of shaded areas and a large open field perfect for slow-paced walks and senior portraits.
📸 Sessions for Senior Dogs
These locations are also ideal for senior pet sessions—quiet, accessible, and full of soft light and peaceful spaces. I always adjust the pace and flow to make your dog comfortable.
