Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Sometimes it can be hard to find a good place to let your canine best friend run free and let loose some energy, especially if you live in a city. But at Red Bud Isle, dogs can run free on their own island.

This 13 acre recreational space has a walking loop for humans and a whole island of forest, lakeshore, and land for dogs to enjoy. There is no fence, as the lake tends to serve as a natural barrier, but dogs who love to swim can enjoy a splash in some of the shallow inlets around the island. There are plenty of sticks for throwing and lots of other dogs to play with at Red Bud Isle, and bags are available around the island for cleaning up after your pet. This public park is absolutely free for visitors, though finding parking can sometimes be a challenge.
