Jamesville beach off leash dog park
Miles of off-leash trails and a creek to swim
About this park
An unfenced off-leash area at Jamesville Beach with miles of mowed fields and nature trails, separate from the public swim beach. Butternut Creek runs through it and feeds the lake, giving dogs water to wade and swim in during the warmer months when the on-site spigots are also running. Parking is free on weekdays and runs about $7 on weekends.

Before you go
Skip it on weekends if you'd rather not pay the parking fee; weekdays are free. Carry extra waste bags and pack them out, since trash cans thin out the farther you walk.
