We were there a little late in the season, but the lake was still beautiful and we enjoyed watching all the wildlife.

Incredibly disappointing that their boat rental is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. Wish that…read morewould've been mentioned on their website. Not everybody has time on Saturdays or Sundays to come out here to rent on top of having to pay $7 to get into this park.

I'm a bit crowd phobic, and I spent 8 yrs of my life as a lifeguard. I think it's deplorable that a…read morestate park doesn't have lifeguards when there are literally THOUSANDS of ppl on this beach at one time. It makes me nervous and I couldn't really relax. There were a few dnr ppl roving around on ATVs. I found it unsafe that the dnr was not enforcing making sure that ppl don't dig giant holes on the beach, a bunch of kids dug one four feet deep. Kids, adults and wildlife can get hurt falling into holes. The dune is impressive but I have no desire to climb it. I like that there's a dog beach here, but holy moly is it crowded. It says on the website it's $11 to get in, but it was $ at the gate. Took forever to get in. It's just meh for me.

This place was absolutely beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I don't know that I could highly…read morerecommend it at this point. The beach has been heavily eroded and was very hard to access. There were also several tires in the water. Definitely a nice, secluded spot, but proceed with caution until repairs are made. Wouldn't recommend for dogs or small children.

I went there 6 years ago and I loved it. Came back now and my dog was attacked twice in one day…read more The aggressive dog did not puncture any wounds. The owner of the dog watched his dog, but could not stop his dogs bad behavior. I reported the problem and the man did talk to the owner. He stated my dog should hang out in the smaller dog section. Why? There is an aggressive dog area. Why didn't they test that dog's behavior? Disgusted, I was there only a week and got my $160.00 back. I just pray this dog does not attack another dog.

Fantastic facility! Fantastic staff! Fantastic Community structure!…read more There are wonderful rolling hills which create natural divisions in which dogs will group, so it's like having several yards within one. The pond is deep enough and contoured enough to provide a lot of variation and slope. The physical build of the docks is top notch. There is enough shade at the pond for humans to be comfy. The bathing facilities are so "Temple Grandin" with full length windows at each of the very clean walk-in tubs, and they all look out over the park! My pup LOVED IT. Be prepared to state your animal's positive and/or challenging behaviors in written detail, and give yourself enough time to really read the community guidelines and education. Last but not least, it doesn't hurt to have an attached dog-friendly tavern which occasionally has food via one food truck or another. It's almost worth moving there for this park!

He growled a short. growl and got out of the situation It happend with a black wolf like dog. The vet said it was completely normal. Also.the staff needs to listen to both sides of a complaint and if there are more complaints from a single person consider what they are upset about!! I have found a really nice smaller dog park in Kalamazoo. There isn't the stress of Meadow run. There's a centralized area where people and dogs socialize with plenty of benches so people can sit and watch their dogs easily. There are objects like trees, benches and a fire hydrant to help get a visual on area to look to pick up poop bags available ! The park isn't enormous so dogs disappear! People are very friendly. It's great!!

Love it here! If you're looking for socialization I'd try a different park because I've never run…read moreinto anyone else here, but my dog just wants a bigger space to run so he enjoys it. There is a shaded bench and table in the field for the humans and a secondary side for smaller dogs. They do also have a dog water fountain and it's located inside the main area. 4 stars because it is just a fenced in property- no obstacle course or anything, and doesn't have a posting about vaccinations so use with caution, but I've always had a good experience here.
