Start the day with a peaceful stroll at DelCarte Conservation Area, a beautiful spot known for color-coded trails, quiet ponds, and small bridges—perfect for a curious pup who loves nature. The winding paths are shady, well-marked, and water-accessible, making it an ideal start to your dog’s morning.
Just a few minutes away, the Franklin Sculpture Park offers a quick detour with quirky art installations and open lawn space. It’s a fun place to stretch legs, snap a few photos, and enjoy a different kind of outdoor experience—leashed dogs welcome!
If it’s Friday, head to the Franklin Town Common for the Franklin Farmers Market. Leashed dogs are welcome, and you’ll find plenty of other pups mingling with their humans while you browse local produce, baked goods, handmade items, and even some goodies for your pup too.
Swing over to Nirvana Tea House in Millis, a charming and cozy café with dog-friendly outdoor seating. Enjoy a pot of loose-leaf tea, a fresh pastry, or a lunch special while your dog lounges beside you under the shady trees in the garden-style patio.
Wrap up the day with a comfortable stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Marlborough, a pet-friendly hotel that welcomes dogs with open arms. You’ll find plenty of green space for evening walks, easy access to local trails, and comfy accommodations for you and your pup to recharge for day two.
DAY 2:
Ready for a fresh-air getaway with your four-legged bestie? Start your day at Hopkinton State Park, a local favorite for wooded trails, water views, and outdoor recreation. Thanks to Boating in Boston, dogs are welcome to join you on kayak, canoe, or paddleboard rentals. It’s a unique bonding experience your dog (and you!) will love.
After your lake adventure, head to CraftRoots Brewing in Milford, a dog- and kid-friendly brewery with a laid-back beer garden atmosphere. Sip a fresh local pint while your pup relaxes under the shade of a picnic table. On weekends, enjoy food trucks and live music for a relaxed community feel.
For your final leg-stretch of the day, head to the Holliston Rail Trail. Park near CVS on Central Street, and take a scenic walk through town. After your walk, reward your pup with a frozen treat from C.Scoops, just across the street—they offer doggie ice cream that’s tail-wagging approved! Their dog-friendly outdoor seating makes it a great final destination where both you and your dog can relax and enjoy a scoop. Whether you’re into classic sundaes or your pup is ready for their treat, it’s the perfect ending to a weekend of tail-wagging adventure.
