Tuolumne County, situated in both California’s Gold Country and Sierra Nevada regions, offers a range of dog-friendly options for outdoor enthusiasts and their canine companions. The area is home to Yosemite National Park’s less crowded northern entrance, providing access through the town of Groveland, a DogTrekker favorite.

For those who prefer water activities, Pinecrest Lake allows dogs in certain areas. Local parks such as Dragoon Gulch also welcome leashed dogs. Several accommodations, including inns and cabins, are dog-friendly. You will also be able to dine on patios that welcome dogs at various restaurants in the charming towns of Sonora and Jamestown.
