Fun Stuff To Do

• During the winter time you can take your dog to Rum Island, a spring in High Springs. Technically dogs are not allowed, but in the winter time no one seems to care. Another fun thing is to take the dogs to Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. It is beautiful. The dogs have to stay on leash, but it is a lot of fun for the parents.

Dog Friendly Dining

• Gainesville has lots of places with patios. Most will let your dog join you for a meal as long as he/she is well behaved. A few examples are: McAllister's Deli, Ivey's Grill, Leonardo's Pizza, and Book Lover's Cafe.
