Dog-Friendly Walks in Old Town Alexandria
Easy, scenic, and quiet walks
This site is about dog-friendly walks in Old Town Alexandria — the easy, scenic, and quieter routes that invite you to slow down and explore on foot. Most days that means staying close to home, walking familiar paths along the river, through neighborhoods, and into green spaces that naturally calm both people and dogs.
Sometimes it also means traveling a little farther to places that reward an unhurried pace. Everything shared here reflects that approach: choosing ease over urgency, returning to routes that work well with dogs, and giving places the time they deserve.
