Adventures await in the Olde English District, where you and your canine companions can explore outdoors, sip local brews and relax in furry-friendly accommodations.

Pet-friendly hotels, trails, parks and breweries make it easy to travel with your dog.

Leash up your pup to explore the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill. Well-worn trails take you through towering pines, under a railroad trestle or around the peacefully still Lake Haigler. Pets are also welcome at Chester State Park, an outdoor retreat for fishing or kayaking as well as hiking tranquil trails. Or choose from the network of pathways that are part of the Carolina Thread Trail, most of which are flat and perfect for pets needing to burn off energy.

In Rock Hill, Off the Tracks Brewing welcomes pets and their humans to lounge in the shade of the patio. Sip a pint of Killing Me Smalls saison or Midas Touch golden ale and enjoy a hand-tossed pizza or focaccia sandwich. After a walk through the vineyard of Laurel Haven Estate in Lancaster, rest up with your best friend by your side in its pet-friendly bed-and-breakfast.
