With tons of outdoor activities, pet-friendly attractions and unique experiences, there's something for you and your four-legged friend to enjoy. Check in to our pet-friendly hotels in Baton Rouge, and then head out to explore everything there is to see and do in Louisiana's capital.

The whole family will love the sights and sounds along the Riverfront Plaza, a 5-acre green space and entertainment area located on the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown Baton Rouge. Leash up and check out the water gardens, amphitheater, walking paths and levee terraces. There are also murals, an observation deck and the USS Kidd Fletcher-class destroyer museum.

Dogs were born to run, so head to one of the many parks throughout the city to make new friends and run off some puppy energy. Enjoy canine craziness at Burbank Dog Park, one of Baton Rouge's most popular doggy destinations. With separate areas for small and large dogs, exciting agility courses and a pond perfect for an afternoon swim, it's the place to be. And the perfectly named Raising Cane's Dog Park at City-Brooks Community Park is a favorite spot among locals for the green grass, drinking fountain and shady trees.

Louisiana's warm sunny skies and vast nature parks are the ideal place for taking a stroll with your pooch. Check out the dog-friendly trails around Baton Rouge to explore nature's backyard. For a leisurely walk near our downtown pet-friendly Baton Rouge hotels, head to Wampold Memorial Park. Here, lush green walkways surround the scenic LSU Lake, where you can enjoy the grassy area and throw the tennis ball with Fido. Walk, jog or bike along the water's edge or, to cool off, hop on a paddleboard or kayak to take a dip in the refreshing water. A fishing dock offers the perfect place to cast a line and try your hand at one of Louisiana's favorite pastimes.

Make the most of your time in the capital city and tour the outside of the Louisiana State Capitol Building. Things are larger than life here, and The Louisiana State Capitol is the tallest capitol building in the country, towering in at more than 450 feet high and 34 floors. Your dog can join you throughout the beautifully landscaped grounds, quaint walking paths and historical markers. While dogs can't enter the building itself, there's still plenty to see outside, like the grand staircase that leads up to the capital and the gardens spread across 27 surrounding acres.

Baton Rouge is known for its flavorful culinary scene and your pup is welcome to tag along for a delicious meal. Grab a seat at pet-friendly restaurants, breweries and cafes where delicious food is on the menu, and everyone has a place at the table.
