Some places get named by cartographers. Others get named by furry creatures with big paws and even bigger opinions. Sorry, Luie Boone, we know you tried to secure that name change, but it's always going to be called Montauk, New York. Not Montpawk, not Snifftauk, and definitely not Bone-tauk. Just Montauk. But you try telling that to a dog who's going to have sand in his fur and the smell of the water in his nose.

Lake Powell, Utah? Luie Boone reckons its more like Lick Powell, with how he can already taste all the exciting adventures. On the Utah side, Lake Powell is one of the most unique places in the Southwest United States to explore with your dog. With its vivid, red rock cliffs and deep, blue waters, the northern shoreline of the lake—near the towns of Bullfrog and Halls Crossing—is less crowded than the southern end.

Mackinac Island, Michigan? Luie Boone cannot wait to start barking and change that island's name to Barkanic Island. He knows that's not realistic—official name changes take time and lots of effort—but he's just so excited! Mackinac Island offers a refreshing escape from not just the noise of everyday life, but from the rustle and bustle of cars. This island is located on Lake Huron, nestled between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas.

We're talking about a vacation to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which is a beloved coastal destination known for its charming towns, sandy beaches, and relaxing atmosphere. It also happens to be incredibly dog-friendly. You'll find that many of Cape Cod’s towns are more than happy to welcome four-legged visitors. From beaches, trails, dog parks, and outdoor dining, there are plenty of oppo

Luie Boone overheard his hoomans planning a vacation to See-Bagel Lake, Maine, and he just couldn't believe it. Bagels? He loves a good bagel, especially one lathered with peanut butter and topped with banana slices. Unfortunately, his doggy daydreams about See-Bagel Lake were rudely interrupted when one of his hoomans told him that they were actually planning a vaction to Sebago Lake, Maine.

Sand. Glorious, diggable, roll-worthy sand. Doesn't that sound the stuff of doggy dreams? Luie Boone sure thinks so, and he highly suggests you check out Virginia Beach, Virginia for your next sandy vacation. With paw-friendly beaches, plenty of outdoor spaces, and a laid-back vibe, it's the perfect spot for two-legged and four-legged travelers to soak up the sun and make some sandy memories.
