Plan Your Pet-Friendly Trip to Vernal, Utah

 

Date: May 13, 2022

Categories: Uncategorized

Vernal, Utah has been a pet-friendly destination for centuries. It started as a location where dinosaurs roamed freely and has continued to be a spot for animals to enjoy. Whether you have dogs, cats, rabbits or hamsters — there is room for all in Dinosaurland! Read on for some fun activities you can do with your pets! If you take one thing from this post, remember this one rule of thumb… here in Vernal, pets can go anywhere a car can go!

Playtime with your pet

Vernal, Utah is home to multiple state parks that you can explore with your furry friends. Check them out!

Red Fleet State Park is surrounded by beautiful sandstone cliffs that are waiting to be explored. This state park is pet friendly (as long as they are on a leash) and there are many trails that are an animal’s dream. Red Fleet State Park usually attracts visitors looking to enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, and boating but if you have a pet with you be sure to take time to explore the landscape surrounding the Reservoir. The Red Fleet Dinosaur Trackway Trailhead is one of our favorites — we’ve heard pets like it too!

Steinaker State Park is an exciting place to set up camp for you and your four-legged sidekick. You can enjoy the fresh air with enough space to play endless games of fetch. If you are up for a challenge, there are also beautiful hiking trails, ranging in difficulty for just about anyone’s skill level. After a day of playing hard, take a refreshing dip in the reservoir.

Although it isn’t a state park, Freestone Legacy Walking Park is certainly a fun place to hang out. Freestone Legacy Walking Park is a huge chunk of grassy land that has dozens of trees to relax by and enjoy the shade in Vernal, UT. It also has a water structure that will keep your pet mesmerized for hours. If you are looking for a leisurely activity where you can bring your pet along and get their wiggles out, this is the place for you!

Dining with your dog

You definitely don’t want to go on vacation and miss out on delicious food because you can’t find somewhere you can bring your family pet. In Vernal, Utah we have many restaurants that accommodate our furry friends. Here are a few we suggest you give a try!

Don’t miss out on your morning coffee while in Dinosaurland! Spoofs Coffee Drive Through is a unique and local coffee shop that serves delicious drinks. This is the highest rated coffee shop in the area for a reason. With great service, reasonable prices, and specialized brews, you won’t want to miss the chance to visit this spot. Order your regular or try something new, all while keeping your pet by your side.

Another must-hit place is Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburger. Their outdoor seating is perfect for pets to relax. Its made-to-order menu is served fresh without the long wait. From steakburgers to sundaes, there is something for everyone to dig their teeth into. Your pets will be licking their lips in hopes that some of your juicy burger falls to the ground for them to enjoy.

Have you ever taken your pet to a pub? Not a typical place for them to hang around, but when you have the chance to bring them, why not? Vernal Brewing Co offers outdoor seating for those pet-loving, animal-owning people! This gastropub and brewery specializes in craft beers and mouth-watering food pairings. From Beer Cheese Soup to its unique Donut Burger, you won’t be short on delicious cuisine. Indulge yourself without being worried about what your pet is doing at home.

Hibernate with your furry-friend

Enjoy a relaxing stay at TownePlace Suites by Marriott Vernal. For this trip, you don’t have to leave your pet behind. For a small additional fee, TownePlace Suites accommodates your pets and makes them feel right at home! They will love being included in the fun and will feel welcome there.

Set up camp with all your pets at Dinosaurland KOA. Sit around the campfire and enjoy some roasted marshmallows while your animals take in the amazing outdoors surrounding you. Put your pet on a leash and go for a dip in the pool or grab a bike and discover the nature around you!

Conclusion

Here in Vernal, Utah, we love our furry friends and want to make them feel as invited and comfortable as possible! With so many accommodations, you don’t have to worry about feeling restricted when they come along. Grab your pets, your friends and their animals and visit us at Dinosaurland!
