Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area is a 266-acre park that includes an 80-acre lake, ample parking, picnic grounds and miles of trails welcoming dogs on leash. Dogs may be unleashed in undeveloped areas at least 100 yards from any posted trails, parking lots, public swim beaches, or playgrounds.
Check out the Shadow Cliffs Dog Beach area, but don’t let your dog near the water when toxic blue-green algae is present.

Keeping our trails beautiful and dog-friendly is crucial to ensure everyone enjoys the great outdoors. Some people want to ban dogs from public spaces, but we believe dogs are essential members of our community. They bring joy, companionship, and energy to our hikes. To keep our trails open to our furry friends, we must be responsible. Pick up after your dog, keep them on a leash where required, and respect other trail users. By doing our part, we can ensure that our beloved pups remain welcome on all trails, allowing your pack to continue exploring and enjoying nature together.
