South Carolina
While you still can't let your dog splash in the pool of a pet-friendly hotel in South Carolina, if your dog is a water lover, it's still the place you want to be. Discover the whitewater rapids of Upcountry Carolina and the scenic lakes and waterfalls of central South Carolina or the unparalleled beaches of the Grand Strand, Lowcountry, and Charleston areas. Whether you've got a Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever, a Brittany Spaniel, or even a Dachshund that's out of his mind, they'll be in water-soaked heaven. And, of course, there's also a lot of terra firma in the Palmetto State. So make sure to go see the RiverDogs play at the Joe Riley Stadium in Charleston on one of their "Dog Days," or visit the pet-friendly Magnolia Plantation and Gardens which is just a Frisbee throw away. They have a large labyrinth made out of shrubbery. Dogs love it for obvious reasons. And if you place raw hamburger at the exit before you go in with your pooch, you'll never have to worry about not getting out.
