There are multiple paths you can take so that both you and your hound get your romp on. If you are in the area, you already know this. If you're new to the area, you've got a great place.

This is our favorite dog park in EP. Sometimes I go to the smaller park on Flying Cloud because it…read morehas a separate little-dog area, but I've never had any trouble at Staring with either my mini dachshund or chihuahua. This is a great park for dogs who love to run fast, like our corgi, or dogs who just like to sniff, pee on every blade of grass, and wander along. I love that the park is a fully fenced 4-acre hilly woodland place and even if a dog runs away, they can't get out and will find you eventually. There's no open or standing water, so your pooch won't get wet and stinky for your ride home. Spring and fall are my favorite times here because these woods get buggy in summer; that's when I switch to the park on Flying Cloud. It's smaller, just over an acre, but more open (wear sunscreen!) and there is agility equipment for both the large dog side and the little dog side. It's hilarious to watch my doxie "leap" over the 4" hurdle!

My owner walks me in with the leash then wow, I get to run free as my owner follows. I find all kinds of dog friends here and if I'm lucky I can chase and play with the right dog for awhile. There is a pond here but sometimes it's just yucky and green. My owner usually talks to other dog owners and everyone seems nice. There is an open space to run and play and a water supply for water. I am amazed at all the mixed breeds and rescues just like me. I stayed away for a little while when dog flu was going around. Thanks mom. I do get tired from playing here and I love it.

As we walked the trails with our dogs - on leash - I had some reminiscing about riding my horse on the other side of the lake and sailing with my father. Wonderful memories. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park is a 340 acre park on the shores of Lake Minnewashta. Facilities include a swimming beach, bathhouse, off-leash dog area, reservable picnic shelters, sand volleyball courts, creative playground (which looked like a regular playground), paved boat access, paved bike trails, turf trails for walking and skiing, ski/snowshoe rental, and vending machines. If your dogs are good at dog parks, this is one to visit! The Off Leash Dog Area is fenced-in off-leash dog area at Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. This 18-acre site has a separate area for small dogs and approximately one mile of trails. To get in to the off-leash dog area you'll need either a $6 daily or $28 annual vehicle permit. Both are able to be purchased through the honor box at the park entrance by the gate house. Definitely worth visiting!

***This is a review about their off-leash dog park.***…read more Even though I've only visited a few dog parks, Minnewashta's must rank amongst the top! Essentially, Carver County dedicated a small forest to everyone's favorite four-legged friend, where plenty of tall trees, fresh water streams, gigantic leaf piles, paw and foot friendly trails, sizable grassy green spaces, and speedy squirrels for them to chase exist. In other words, dog heaven resides in Chanhassen. Also, don't worry about your pup running away, because there's a huge fence that wraps around the entire park. Aside from the park itself, prior to entering, there's a little area with a water fountain and hose. Visitors can use the hose down your pup, before loading him or her into the car. For $24, you can purchase the annual pass. Otherwise, like me, you'll have to pay $5 per visit. From what I heard from another dog owner, though, no one mans the tollbooth after September, so the park relies on the honor system for payment. Once you arrive, drive slightly past the tollbooth, and open up a metal lid that holds paper envelopes. Put your $5 in and write your name on it. It's a bit of a cumbersome process to enter, but seeing the biggest smile on my dog's face was well worth it.

First off, parking is a breeze and there are multiple entrances depending on the direction you are coming. Secondly, this DP is filled with water jugs and is fully stocked and reliant on patrons like you and volunteers to keep the grounds clean and running. Lastly, the entire space is massive with varying terrains ranging from sand to wood-chips to wooden docks to pavement to grass. The robust options for shade or sun are endless. We were able to see a wide variety of birds flying overhead on our most recent visit. I highly recommend Rice Creek Off-Leash DP to anyone with or without a dog. The grounds are absolutely stunning!!

That space overlooks the dog park so you can still keep an eye on your pooch. The staff did a great job monitoring the pups and diffusing any aggressive behavior. They need a better system for cleanups, possibly a mop bucket? The outside patio area was ok but owners aren't required to pick up their dogs business so there is a lot of waste out there.

There are two fence doors to make sure no dogs can run out into the street. On a nice day, it's wonderful to take your dog out here.

I've seen people bring their frisbees, balls, Chuck It's, etc. Be sure to bring some water and water bowls as I'm not sure if there is a hose or other water source. Be prepared to share with other dogs! I'll be sure to tell my friends to check out this dog park close by.
