DOG-FRIENDLY activities

Who says you have to leave your furry friends behind?

Our canine companions are part of the family, so we’ve highlighted a few places they’ll feel right at home.

Birkdale Village

Birkdale Village is a beautiful pedestrian and dog-friendly shopping center. You’ll notice water bowls thoughtfully placed outside certain stores, a clear sign that dogs are cherished guests here. When hunger strikes, there are many restaurants with outdoor seating areas where you can enjoy a meal in the company of your furry companion.

Jetton Park

Sitting right on the lake, Jetton Park has 104 acres of land and a 1.5 mile long walking trail. While all pups must be leashed, they’re more than welcome to join you as you explore the shaded pathways winding through the park. To relax and unwind, rest under the gazebo or go down to the sunning beach to soak in the beautiful sights of Lake Norman.

Lucky Dog Bark & Brew

Latta Nature Preserve

There is no shortage of sights for you and your pup to take in at the area’s largest nature preserve. Dogs are encouraged to explore here, but must do so on a 6-foot or shorter leash. There are 16 miles of trails to explore where you might encounter riders on horseback, squirrels, and other wildlife along the way.

Lucky Dog Bark & Brew

Your dog doesn’t have to be 21 to enjoy the most dog friendly bar in Lake Norman. As the area’s sole indoor/outdoor dog park with a sports bar, unleash your dogs and let them roam free and socialize while you catch up with friends over a specialty crafted cocktail or one of the 20+ craft beers on tap. With several TVs around the bar, you don’t have to miss game day. Plus, the indoor and outdoor bar access ensures you stay immersed in the action!

Restaurants & Breweries

There are plenty of dog-friendly patios throughout the Lake Norman area, so you never have to choose between a great meal and spending time with your pup. Enjoy a cold brew at any of the local breweries or satisfy your hunger at The Neighborhood Cafe if you find yourself in Huntersville. The OTC Food Truck Village in Cornelius and Kindred in Davidson also offer great food, drinks and dog-friendly spaces.

Lake Norman is home to many dog-friendly restaurants, hotels, breweries, and stores. To ensure your pets can join you, be sure to call businessses ahead to confirm their store policies.

Swaney Pointe K-9 Park

Located inside Ramsey Creek Park, this dog park boasts four acres of fenced-in land with patches of shaded areas, so your furry friend can run as far as their heart desires. There are several picnic tables and running water near the entrance. If your pup is on the smaller side, then they can play with dogs their own size in the area specifically for dogs 20 pounds or smaller.

Yappy Hour Bakery

The area’s first dog treat truck is at your service! This dog bakery on wheels offers fresh, preservative free treats, cakes, ice cream, and jerky which are also sold at a number of businesses around the Lake Norman area. Check out their Facebook page for more details about their schedule and truck location.

PLACES TO WATCH the sunset

Sunsets combined with the charming surroundings of Lake Norman create a magical end to the day. Here are some of the best places to see one.

ON THE LAKE

The best way to see the warm sunset is on Lake Norman itself. There are several marinas for people to dock their boats or rent one for the day. Opt for a more intimate experience with Mountain Island Lake Paddle Co. offering multi-day paddleboard and kayak rentals that includes all the

equipment you need. A paddle, safety leash, personal flotation device, waterproof/floating phone pouch, and more. These self-guided rentals are dropped off right to you at Latta Nature Preserve’s Gar Creek Kayak Only Launch. Other launch locations are available upon request.

FROM A PARK

Ramsey

Creek Park

The ADA-compliant fishing pier is an excellent place to watch as the sky falls dark. If you need to kill time, they also have a dog park, picnic shelters, a swimming beach, a playground and more.

Jetton Park

If you’re looking for a breathtaking sunset with an “island feel,” pack your picnic blanket or find a bench at the sunning beach. While you’re there, take advantage of the bike and walking trails, picnic areas, and garden.

Latta Nature Preserve

If you want to squeeze in some steps while rewarding yourself with a sunset, visit this 1,343-acre park that runs along Mountain Island Lake. You’ll find plenty of hiking trails perfect for walking along the lake as the sun goes down. We would recommend Split Rock Trail (1.15 miles) or Buzzard Rock Trail (0.3 miles) for the best views of the lake.

AT A RESTAURANT

Hello, Sailor

Sip one of their signature cocktails at their tiki bar or enjoy fantastic food on their multilevel patio. Both patios seem to transport you to a paradise by the lake.

North Harbor Club

Dine on their patio that looks out to breathtaking views of the sunset. For those who want to travel via boat, they offer a “dock-and-dine” service.

Port City Club

It’s fully enclosed patio is perfect for watching the sunset year-round, but during the summer, we love their gorgeous outdoor patio.

Nothing eases the mind like watching the daylight fade over the water. Show us your favorite spots and share your sunset photos with us @visitlakenorman!
