Dog-Friendly Places in Lake Country
This Lake Country list has 44 places: 20 parks and trails, 10 beaches, 5 wineries and 9 others. Some overlap with other Lake Country guides: 40 are kid-friendly and 11 have a patio. Keep in mind that 5 close for part of the year. Our picks here include Kopje Regional Park, one of our Hidden Gems: an eight-acre lakeside park in Carr's Landing with a heritage house and views to Grant Island, mostly known to locals; and Nuyens Park, one of our Hidden Gems: a short grassland walk to a tiny pebbled beach in Carr's Landing, with parking for just one or two cars.
Open Now is based on each place’s listed hours. Hours can change for holidays, seasons or special closures — check with the venue before you go.
