4. Cool off in Cherry Creek

Perhaps the best way to celebrate the unofficial end of summer is to wade through refreshing waters while breathing in the great outdoors! Cherry Creek State Park Off-Leash Dog Area is a 107 acre fenced space that includes access to the doggy oasis that is Cherry Creek. Plenty of walkin’, swimmin’, and sniffin’ will ensure your woofer naps the whole ride home. You’ll need both a park pass and dog park pass to enter, and it’s a popular spot so arrive early to avoid wait times.
