Urban Bird Dogs is back with another epic guide for you and your furry bestie! This time, we’re hitting the charming Hill Country town of Wimberley for a pawsome weekend getaway. Wimberley is practically made for doggone fun, with tons of outdoor adventures, yummy eats with patios, and shops that welcome your whole pack!
So, grab your leash, pack your pup’s favorite frisbee, and let’s explore the top 10 things to do with your dog in Wimberley:
1. Cypress Creek Nature Trail: Sniffari Time!
This scenic trail is perfect for a morning walk with your pup. Breathe in the fresh Hill Country air, chase squirrels (responsibly!), and explore the sights and smells of the Texas wilderness.
2. Cypress Falls Swimming Hole: Make a Splash!
Cool off on a hot day with a refreshing dip at Cypress Falls. While pups aren’t allowed in the designated swimming area, there’s plenty of space for them to splash around the edges or play fetch in the shallows. Remember to be a responsible pet parent and clean up after your pup!
3. Rent a Canoe or Kayak on the Blanco River:
Glide down the crystal-clear Blanco River with your pup by your side (life jackets recommended for all paws on board!). Enjoy the beautiful scenery and maybe even spot some local wildlife.
4. Grab a Pup-uccino at Ino’z Brew & Chew:
After all that adventuring, you and your pup deserve a break! Ino’z Brew & Chew has a fantastic dog-friendly patio with yummy food and drinks for humans, and a special “Pup-uccino” (whipped cream and a dog treat) to keep your furry friend happy.
5. Hike Old Baldy for Epic Views:
Feeling adventurous? Take your pup on a hike to the top of Old Baldy for breathtaking panoramic views of the Wimberley Valley. Just remember, it can get hot, so go early in the morning and bring plenty of water for both of you.
6. Retail Therapy at The Shady Llama:
Pamper your pup (and yourself!) at The Shady Llama. This unique shop has a fantastic selection of dog toys, treats, and accessories. You’re sure to find the perfect souvenir for your furry friend.
