Blackwell Off-Leash Dog Area and Canoe Launch Lot

My dogs love this park. They are crying and squeaking in the back seat when we are still miles away. They are so excited to see other dogs to play with and love to wander in and out of the brush. On days that we are running errands, we stop multiple times so they can have fun. The most we have visited in one day was 6 times. We see the same people and dogs often. Everyone has always been so friendly.

This is our favorite dog park. Crushed Limestone paths in a figure 8 (1/2mile walk) with a log bench to sit on at the halfway point. Plenty of trees and long grass area for dogs to run around in. Poop bags and trash containers offered at front entrance with a large open area for dogs to run and socialize as well as 3 shaded picnic tables. Porta-potty facilities offered at end of parking lot turn-around by the canoe launch area. All size, breed and ages of dogs, most owners are courteous of dog behavior and respectful of scooping poop. It is each owners responsibility to stop and/or remove their dog if they show aggressive tendencies to another dog. I highly recommend this off leash dog park if you want to walk your dog.

The sand/gravel trail is that of nightmares if your dog has any kind of thick hair. In any sort of even remotely wet weather it turns into a sand soup and when it's hot you might as well throw dust and sand straight into your car. There's no actual grass, it's either sandy trail or trees - either way your car will get completely covered in muck. If there was any other park closer to me I would happily never come back here.

My Golden Retriever loves to run in and out it the woods on the trail. Even better when chasing or being chased by another dog.

Really great dog park that loops in a figure eight. Lots of big trees that offer shade while you walk. Not a lot of space to throw a ball or frisbee, but you can do laps around which my pup liked a lot. Very pretty area in general and right down the road from the entrance to McKee Marsh. The trail is gravel the entire way around, therefore a pretty good place to walk even if it has just rained.
