Pet-FRiendlY Get Outdoors in COLUMBUS As you motor southward to Columbus , relish the forest scenery and glimpses of massive Lake Oliver and the powerful Chattahoochee River. Drop off your luggage at the riverside City Mills Hotel , where your furry pal will be welcomed with friendly smiles and in-room, artisan-made pet bowls. Dine on-site at the outdoor patio with your companion at your feet, or ask staff about other dog-friendly restaurants, parks, and attractions within walking distance. After filling your bellies, stretch your legs on a walk through Columbus’ Historic District , where you’ll find tree-lined sidewalks in front of charming Southern homes, stunning historical residences, and several notable landmarks, such as the Pemberton House Museum . In the evening, let your pup release their zoomies at the off-leash Fetch Park , an enclosed, open-air social spot. Watch them play as you sit with other pet parents and sip a refreshing cocktail from the BARk . For dinner, try the Jarfly – a relaxed eatery with an enclosed, dog-welcoming terrace and a little-bit-of-everything-style menu. Discover more wag-friendly excitement on your second day in Columbus with a stroll or jog along the Chattahoochee RiverWalk . Stretching 15 miles from the Lake Oliver Marina to the National Infantry Museum , this shoreline path includes stops to take in the rolling river waves, cityscape views, and native wildlife. Close to the RiverWalk is Banks Food Hall , where you can recoup with your pooch on the patio with a homemade Italian ice or an energizing coffee before trekking on. Afterward, cool off from your exertions with craft suds like Basement IPA and Tropical Staycation at Scofflaw Brewing Co. FETCH PARK, COLUMBUS/CALEB JONES EXPLOREGEORGIA.ORG 125
