Minnehaha Dog Park
About the Park
Minnehaha is a large off-leash dog park spanning roughly one mile along the Mississippi River, with extensive wooded trails, river access for swimming, and shade from mature trees. The park charges $2 per hour for parking and $5 per dog to use; discounted passes are available for frequent visitors. Dogs require strong recall and obedience, as the park is unfenced and dogs have direct river access. The terrain can become muddy.
