About this park

Settlers Cabin gives big dogs real room to run inside the larger county park, with water on site and a covered shelter of benches and picnic tables parked at the far end. Reviewers favor the grassy hill for watching the action, and the adjacent Waterfall Trail makes an easy add-on walk once the dog has burned off the first wave of energy.

Before you go

Bring your own water bowl and don't count on the covered shelter, since it sits at the farthest corner and most regulars camp on the hill instead. The on-site restrooms work but are basic, so plan accordingly.
