At Top Dog, we’re all about tail wags, happy paws, and new adventures. Whether you’re a lifelong local or new to southern New Hampshire, there are some amazing dog-friendly spots just waiting for you and your four-legged friend to explore.
Here are five of our favorite nearby places to stretch your legs, sniff the breeze, and maybe grab a snack (we’re talking to the humans… mostly).
1. Derry Rail Trail – Derry, NH
Looking for a scenic, easy-going walk? The Derry Rail Trail is perfect. This 4-mile paved path is a local favorite for leisurely strolls through wetlands, woods, and downtown Derry. It’s flat, shaded, and super walkable — ideal for dogs of all ages.
Top Dog Tip: Go early in the morning for fewer crowds and more sniffing opportunities.
2. Musquash Conservation Area – Londonderry, NH
Over 1,000 acres of forest and trails? Yes, please. The Musquash is a nature lover’s dream — and your dog will love every muddy trail, rustling squirrel, and hidden stream. This place is a go-to for longer hikes and a true “get away from it all” vibe.
Top Dog Tip: Bring water, and don’t forget tick protection — nature gets real out here.
3. Casa Java Café – Derry, NH
Dogs and coffee. Two of life’s essentials. Casa Java has cozy outdoor seating where pups are welcome to chill while you caffeinate. Whether you’re fueling up post-walk or just enjoying some sunshine, this local gem hits the spot.
Top Dog Tip: A little whipped cream on the side makes for a great pup cup.
4. Benson Park – Hudson, NH
This isn’t just a walk in the park — it’s a full afternoon outing. With 165 acres of trails, a pond, historic landmarks, and even a dedicated dog park area, Benson Park is a must-visit. You can do an easy loop or let your pup go wild in the fenced-in dog zone.
Top Dog Tip: It gets busy on weekends, so leash up and plan accordingly if your dog prefers a quiet vibe.
5. 603 Brewery & Beer Hall – Londonderry, NH
After a long walk, why not relax with a cold one? 603 Brewery is a dog-friendly spot with outdoor seating where pups are welcome. Grab a craft brew, enjoy the atmosphere, and let your dog soak up some social time.
Top Dog Tip: This is a great place for meetups — dog people are always welcome here.
