  Great off leash trail!

  We love this off leash area. Many trails and river access. Our dog loved the freedom. Great place to train off leash and work on recall.

  Unleash the fun!!!

  One year old Doberman had the time of his life. We have never seen him more happy to run unleashed. More of a natural trail experience vs man made walking trail. Not crowded at all. Bring Your Bug Spray!

  Go to spot

  This is by far one of the best places in the area to take your dog to roam free. There are a few different trails you can walk, all of which are a great distance for a moderate walk. If your dog likes to swim there is also access to the Grand River, but beware of fishing hooks and lines left by fishermen.

  Our new favorite park!

  This park is awesome! It’s tucked away in a quiet area with lots of trails and water access options. It wasn’t busy at all and felt very private. We had so much fun!

  Good Location But Needs Some Work

  Like having this option for unleash, it is very off the grid and hidden so not very crowded. however there’s a lot of nesting birds flying at you and there were several dead fishes washed up on the shore when i was there!

We dug up 3 pictures of dogs at Bend Area.
