DeSota National Monument Park Well-behaved, leashed dogs are permitted in this park as long as dog guardians are responsible for poop scooping. Note of 01-07-07: A kind reader has the following comments about this park: "It has a wonderful walking trail that allows pets. It winds through grassy areas, ocean view, wooded areas, beach area and sidewalked areas. There are plenty of doggie stations that supply bags and refuse cans. Parking can be somewhat of a problem at times." 3. Snead Island One of our readers tells us they walk their dog at Emerson Point in the Palmetto area (Snead Island.) They said there are trails, off road and beach area. Directions: Take 41 to 10th Ave, go west to approx. 4500 (after you cross over the bridge/marinas,)then you'll see signs to turn right and then left again onto the point.
