So dog friendly!
Indiana Dunes National ParkWe visited with our three year old lab in May and would highly recommend a trip around this time! The weather was perfect and nothing was crowded. We did the Dune Ridge Hike (skill: easy, just a few steep inclines), Great Marsh Trail (skill: easy, trail can be muddy), and Central Ave Beach (skill: easy — you can walk on pavement the whole way or take stairs to shorten the distance). Our dog had a GREAT time and we would gladly go again. Bring towels in case of mud and tweezers in case of ticks.
Thanks for the pup cup!
Leland Harbor HouseWe had such fun getting to bring our dog with us for an ice cream treat. Very welcoming! There are benches to sit on outside the store so your pup can truly enjoy their dessert.
Great winter outing!
MacCready Nature ReserveTrails are well marked and dogs welcome as long as they are leashed. We had a great time getting out of the house and burning some energy on the red trail. Highly recommend!
Our favorite beach!
Glen Haven BeachBeautiful beach with plenty of space to spread out. Parking is a little limited and there are lots of rocks on the very edge of the water, but the bottom gets sandier the further you get out. Gorgeous views. We will be back!
Great sandy beach!
Good Harbor Bay TrailWe brought our dog here several times over the weekend and really enjoyed it. There is a dog side and a non-dog side, though the boundaries seemed to be self-enforced.
The beach is nice and sandy, and there is a sand bar about fifty feet from the shoreline. We recommend going in the evening as it is not as busy and you can easily find a parking spot.
Great place to bring dogs inside
The Village at Grand Traverse CommonsWe were pleasantly surprised to find that dogs were allowed inside. Several of the shops had lots of breakable items on display, so we opted to stay out of those. Otherwise it was a great place to bring a dog. There are a lot of people walking around, so lots of potential for distractions.
We did not do any of the hiking trails as they were not well marked so we couldn’t find them!
Quiet, rocky beach
Christmas Cove BeachHidden gem near the tip of the Leelanau Peninsula. Very few people come up this far, so it is a good place to bring a dog without having to worry about bothering others. Beach and shoreline are very rocky, so humans should wear sturdy sandals.
Public beach is quite small, but you are allowed to walk along the private beaches on either side.
Very dog friendly!
Cherry RepublicLots of outdoor seating and the staff is more than happy to see a four legged friend with you. Ordering and payment is done via phone so the interaction with staff is minimal.
