If you live in the Asheville area or are travelling with your buddy, we have a recommendation for you. Just off Main Street in Weaverville, we stumbled upon a small park. The trails are wooded, shady, and covered with mulch. A nice stream runs through the park.
At a couple of points on the trail, you will find poop bags and a little trash can, which is a nice, dog friendly touch. You are allowed to walk your dog along the trails. (At the Lake Louise Park in Weaverville, you cannot take your dog on the trails.)
Parking is very convenient too. Look for the white building that houses the pharmacy. The parking lot is next door.
The town of Weaverville itself is not very large. It is a pleasant walk, though. Be sure to check out Well Bread Bakery. In warm weather, they have a couple of tables outside and will let you sit there with your furry friend. They even place water bowls for your pooch so he/she can have a refreshing drink too. The food is good there, especially the desserts.
The Vance birthplace is nearby. Zebulon Vance was a Civil War governor in North Carolina. I believe you can take dogs onto the property. They cannot go into buildings, though.
An entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway is not terribly far from the Vance birthplace. You could grab some food at Well Bred and have a nice picnic on the Parkway.
We hope you have a great time exploring Weaverville and the surrounding area.
