Macon's Intown Dog Walking Scene
Macon is central Georgia's hub city and has a dog walking market anchored in its Intown neighborhoods — College Hill, Vineville, and the areas around Mercer University. The Mercer University community and the professional population employed in Macon's healthcare and government sectors create the core market for professional walking services in the city.
Macon's historic character — it was largely spared from Civil War destruction and retains an extraordinary inventory of antebellum architecture — gives the city a walkable historic district that is genuinely beautiful. The Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park on the eastern edge of the city provides trail access through 17,000 years of human history alongside the Ocmulgee River.
