Solid Joint

Good place for something fresh and fast. Tip: I order a triple and give the extra patty to my pup. it's less expensive than ordering another burger without the bun and extras. I also ask for no salt or pepper. Tables outside, pretty standard for all FG's.

Wide Open Spaces

This 65 acre behemoth of a dog park (most in the city are measured in square feet) will give your furiend the exercise they need. It is also beautiful and serene with prairie grass, wildflowers, picnic benches and trash bins placed throughout the park. There are various walking paths carved through the prairie land and a few low bridges and hills with an open area in the southwest back of the park and at the entrance for group play and fetch. A daily, non-Lake County residence permit can be obtained digitally (due to Covid restrictions) via the Passport app or through calling a number. instructions are on signs at the entrance. Sadly, people don’t mask up when they get close to you, but you can easily avoid them as there is a lot of space for distancing. Bathrooms on premises but no running water also due to COVID-19.

Great Time With Your Furiend.

UPDATE: Mercury has announced on their site that the season is on pause because of the pandemic.

There’s nothing like being on the water with your best friend. The tour company is very accommodating as far as having human and dog snacks for sale and also providing a relief area on the boat for your pup.
