Review:

Found right next to the old boat launch structure on Montrose Beach, Montrose Dog Beach is widely considered to be the best dog beach in Chicago. Off-leash dogs are welcome, and there is a convenient area to rinse off your pup when it's time to head home for the day. All dogs who visit the beach are required to have city-issued DFA tags proving that they aren't going to spread diseases to other animals. The beach is maintained by a volunteer organization known as MonDog, and visitors who enjoyed their time at the beach are encouraged to make a small donation.
