Dog-Friendly Nature Walk in Stockton

Today I am going to introduce you to a secret gem of Stockton. I like to call it Agriculture Row. It is a dog-friendly dirt walking path that is perfect for letting your dog off leash to run or walk by your side. Very few people know of this walking trail, so typically you will be able to enjoy your walk through nature in seclusion.

It is a very peaceful environment filled with running water from the nearby irrigation canals and birds of vibrant colors. The trail starts by winding through groves of walnut trees. Eventually the trail splits and you can choose to walk along grassy fields, continue into the trees, or loop around a farm taking in the sight of the crops. There are four loops in total and the shortest loop is about 1 mile in length.

I recommend walking in the early morning because seeing the fog on the ground in combination with the sunrise is breathtaking. The local animals seem to be more active at this time as well! No matter what time you go for your walk, I am confident that you will love it!
