Duck Farm Dog Exercise Area

This special place is one of four designated areas within the Lake County Forest Preserves where dogs can run and play off-leash. The 48-acre fenced area features open fields, grass trails, a comfort station and drinking fountain.

A permit is required to access this Dog Exercise Area. Annual or daily permits are available. The annual permit allows access to all four Lake County Forest Preserve Dog Exercise Areas. Daily permits can be purchased at a self-pay station located in the parking lot at each Dog Exercise Area.

Hours

Open 6:30 a.m. to sunset, daily.

On the first and third Wednesdays of each month, this Dog Exercise Area is closed until 11 am to allow for trail mowing and other maintenance projects. This approach reduces any potential safety issues by separating visitors and dogs from use of mowers and other heavy equipment.

 
Location

Duck Farm Dog Exercise Area is located in northwestern Lake County near Lindenhurst and Lake Villa.

The entrance is located on Grand Avenue (Route 132) east of Route 83.
