Rent the best private dog parks hosted by locals in Fountain, Michigan

Experience the adventure of the forest and the joy of the lake on a quiet private road in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. With 3 acres of forest to run, a lake with dock to swim, open area to play and plenty of seating to relax or have a snack, this space offers plenty to entertain both canines and their people for hours. There's a picnic table to sit and have a snack or a fire pit with log seating for relaxing (no fires please, we are in a National Forest). Park anywhere along either of the two long wooded driveways. Please no driving or parking between the house and the barn. The property is not fenced however the property is bordered by a lake on one side, blank forest land on one side and quiet neighbors on the other 2 sides who are rarely seen from our property. We also have an outdoor dog wash station, groomed trails and poop bag dispensers with a garbage can coming soon! Note: The condition of the lake varies by season and can get quite mucky at times. We recommend bringing a towel or two. We have a dog wash station coming soon!

5 acres before train tracks 20 after property line goes to the right as you go back more to the creek.

Located next door to turn of the century reeds sawmill you couldn't ask for a better place for your dogs to run.

We have a 20 acre farm between Ludington and Manistee on US highway 31. Stop to let your dogs run in a large 0.5 acres fence suitable for small dogs. The fence is a wooden fence lined with galvanized wire fencing. There is another half an acre for parking and leashed dogs. Enjoy the farm views as we have horses, goats and peacocks currently. This is a new account. We will be adding more amenities soon. It's a great place to let your dogs take a break while traveling.

We own a long 10 acre parcel that backs up to state land. There is a well developed trail that walks the length of the property that you’re welcome to stick to. The trail takes you through a field section midway, a patch of ferns and a small clearing at the edge of the property. I have a 9yo border collie who is fetch obsessed, you may even find one of her dozens of forgotten frisbees along the way. There are two active wells with dog dishes out (one at the start and another midway) that you’re more than welcome to freshen or fill as much as you like! We do have chickens that are not free range along the trail in their coop. Summertime we have an outdoor bathroom with shower that you’re welcome to use (shower upon request for towels).

There is more property on the side and front of house. We do have cows on the left side of us and our neighbors houses are a pretty good distance away from us. It is all open, no woods. This place is out in the country so a wondering cat or rabbit may be in sight once in a while. This would be a great place for a well mannered dog with a human who is not very social and would like privacy to just play outside with their pet or for someone who wants to do some training with their dog!
