Is the dog park fenced?

Yes. The fenced PetSafe dog park at I.C. King Park sits near the main entrance, with restrooms close by.

Badly, in warm months. One visitor pulled 15 to 20 ticks off a single dog after a May visit, so a full check afterward is not optional.

Can dogs swim in the lake?

Reviews split on the water. One described the lake near the fishing spot as visibly dirty and advised against swimming, while others call it beautiful. The fenced dog park has no water access of its own.

What are the trails like?

Easy to moderate, wooded, and poorly marked, with car noise audible across much of the loop.

Rarely. Several reviewers describe an hour or two of walking with almost nobody else on the trail.

About this park

I.C. King Park combines a PetSafe-branded fenced dog park with an extensive trail system for hiking and biking along a lake. The dog park itself is clean and well-maintained, with natural views of the surrounding woods and water. The trails extend through forested terrain with lake access and occasional wildlife sightings. Tick exposure is a real consideration in warmer months, particularly May through September.

I.C. King Park reviews

What visitors consistently say

The highlights

Reviewers keep coming back to the setting at I.C. King, calling out the wooded vistas, the lake views, and how far the trails sit from road noise once the loop turns away from the highway. The fenced dog park itself reads as clean and better-framed by scenery than most urban enclosures.

The community

Foot traffic on the trails is light enough that solitude is easy to find, and the few people encountered are described as friendly. The dog park draws a quiet, nature-oriented crowd rather than the social regulars of a heavily trafficked facility.

Before you go

Check for ticks thoroughly after any visit from April through September. One reviewer pulled 15 to 20 ticks off a single dog after a May visit. The trails are not clearly marked, so stick to the main loop if you are unfamiliar with the layout.
