Prairie Wolf Dog Exercise Area is one of four designated off-leash dog areas within the Lake County Forest Preserves. The 44-acre area is entirely fenced and features large fields, a swimming pond, trails, drinking fountain and training enclosures.
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 daily from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. or sunset, whichever is later.
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. |
