Lake Minnewashta Regional Park -
Off Leash Area Information
Carver County Parks
continues to work on the development of the new off leash dog area
at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. The off leash area opened
in November 2007.
Entrance to the off leash
dog area requires either a $5 daily or $22 annual parking permit
which can be purchased through the honor box at the park entrance
by the gate house.
Annual parking permits can
also be purchased over the phone through the Carver County Parks
Office. There is not be any additional off leash dog
area permit required for this site.
The
off leash area has about .8 mile (.4 wood chipped and .4
aggregate) of walking trails, a separate small dog area for
dogs under 25 pounds, a fenced pond, two large open spaces for
interactive play with other pets and a water fountain for
humans and pets (will be available seasonally from May
- September).
The funding
for the development of the off leash
dog area was a partnership between the City of Chanhassen, City of
Shorewood and the Shorewood Parks Foundation and Carver County
Parks.
