Max Patch is an easy #1 for any local hiking list. Why we love it for dogs? The trail is short, and once you are on top, it is wide open. Once on top, you will be on the Appalachian Trail.

Once at the top, you can hang out and explore or hike to the next bald Sam Knob, which will be insight from the top of Black Balsam. While you&#8217;re at it, you may also want to explore Tennent Mountain, which is on the same trail.

This is an easy hike to a 70-foot waterfall and is entirely dog friendly. Douglas Falls is a 1-mile round trip hike and a good stretch your legs hike to a stunning waterfall. <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/FrQY1J8D2T9dCRuM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Directions<\/a><\/p><h3><strong>7) Triple Falls<\/strong><\/h3><p>Why we love it for hiking with dogs? Wide trails and epic waterfall views without getting too close to the action? This is the spot for you and your dog, located in Dupont State Forest! Triple Falls and Bridalveil Falls is also where the hunger games were filmed. There are plenty of safe areas to enter the water to let your dog get a drink. As I mentioned above, the trails here are much wider than average, so it may be an excellent hike for reactive dogs. In peak leaf season, I would avoid this area as it will be packed. <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/xfMp7XL9NEkfNHwz9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Directions<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01bafdd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01bafdd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/ashevilleinsidersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-Best-Hikes-for-Dog-in-Asheville-23-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-163\" alt=\"Dog hiking at the Pink Beds with owner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ashevilleinsidersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-Best-Hikes-for-Dog-in-Asheville-23-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ashevilleinsidersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-Best-Hikes-for-Dog-in-Asheville-23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ashevilleinsidersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-Best-Hikes-for-Dog-in-Asheville-23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ashevilleinsidersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-Best-Hikes-for-Dog-in-Asheville-23.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-269586a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"269586a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>8) Turkey Pen<\/strong><\/h3><p>Another excellent hike for dogs. Why we love it for hiking with dogs? There are a few trails at Turkey Pen Trailhead. If you have a reactive dog and want to avoid people, take the Vineyard trail and enjoy a hike along a ridge. All others take Turkey Pen Gap Trail, which will lead you straight to the South Fork of the Mills River. Turkey Pen Gap Trail is a great hike along a shallow river, you may encounter horses, but you will be on a broad trail with plenty of room. <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/KozWaUCC1iKv4QEs5\"
