Confirmed from GoodDog!'s own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Wooded, vast area for dogs to roam off leash on myriad trails, as well as river access and walking loops.
What runners say about GoodDog!
“Vast open Forest space for dogs to roam or walk, so many different trails that all lead to the river in just about a mile and then miles of trail to walk along the river.”
This place is an AMAZING spot for you to bring your dog (and kids). It's a GREAT moderate walk to the river. There are a number of off-leash trails to get you there. Heads up - grab a bunch of sticks before getting to the river. The shore side has been cleaned of low hanging branches.
This is our favorite place to take our dog. We've lived here for 2 years and continue to go here at least monthly. It's a great place to get outside, socially distance, exercise your dog, and get great river views.
This is a huge space that allows dogs to run off leash and take a dip in the river. This was our dog's first off-leash, wilderness experience, and we found interactions with other dogs and their humans at times uncomfortable with some dogs/owners welcoming energetic play, some tolerating it, and others resenting it.
This is way more than a dog park. It's plenty of connected trails with many dogs off leash. If you hike back far enough you will find the river which is absolutley gorgeous. There are numerous river access points and if you head west you can follow the river for up to 16 miles.

“Luckily, the off leash area is not too close to a road and the parking lot is pretty calm.”
