The Dog Park at Silver Lake Recreation Area is a hidden gem located within the 84-acre Silver Lake Recreation Area in Garfield Township. The park features separate sections for large and small dogs, allowing pets to play and socialize in a fenced environment.
Dog Park at Silver Lake Recreation Area is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Dog Park at Silver Lake Recreation Area is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Contact (231) 941-1620 or email kroon@garfield-twp.com for more information. The park is part of Silver Lake Recreation Area which offers hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing on multi-use trails.
