Dog-Friendly Things to Do in Pigeon Forge
If you’re craving a getaway to paradise but don’t want to leave your furry companion behind, fear not. Our dog-friendly hotel, Compass Hotel Pigeon Forge, is the perfect home base for a mountain adventure with your canine companion. Whether you’re hoping to share your love of the mountains with Fido, take them with you to enjoy a drink or a meal, or find a spot for them to socialize with other pups, explore our lineup of top dog-friendly activities.
Socialize at the Sevierville Dog Park
If your pup is a bit of a social butterfly or if they simply need a fenced in area to stretch their legs, dog parks are always a great idea, and The Great Smoky Mountains is home to several incredible dog parks to choose from. Be sure to check out Sevierville's Unleashed PetSafe Dog Park just up the road.
Doggie's Day Out
Whether you're pup needs a play date while you explore town or a bath after a day on the trails, look no further than The Wag Social. The family-owned business has indoor/outdoor day camp programs for small, medium, and large dogs and a full suite of grooming services, all available at a special discount for Compass Hotel Guests.
Explore the Great Smoky Mountains
Strap a leash on your pup and boots on your feet, and set off for the Gatlinburg Trail, one of the only hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which allows dogs. The scenic 4 mile trail connects downtown Gatlinburg and the Sugarlands Visitor Center, winding along the Little Pigeon River and through the beautiful hardwood forest.
Enjoy Outdoor Pet-Friendly Dining
In between enjoying a hike or playing at the local dog park, factor in plenty of time to sit down and savor a meal at a dog-friendly restaurant. Your furry friend may not be able to sample the entire menu, but they’re sure to enjoy time spent together.
Dogs are welcome on the terrace patio at our 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill, a convenient option when looking for a quick bite or drink after a day exploring the area with your pup. Grab a seat on the back deck right next to the pool at Compass Hotel and order from a full menu of frozen concoctions, tasty bites and more.
If you're looking to explore the area, The Island in Pigeon Forge is dog-friendly and located right on the Pigeon Forge Greenway. Be sure to stop by the dog-friendly patio at Margaritaville Restaurant, where you can enjoy delicious food and signature drinks along the river.
