Prairie Moraine County Park

Love this park. As long as there arent too many people we have a great time and usually all the dogs are very friendly and well mannered. Highly recommend visiting with your pup

Clean family and dog friendly So many beautiful flowers, woodland area

This place is amazing. Its a big off leash dog park. You dont have to worry about other people not liking dogs while youre here and your dog has so much space to roam and explore. Even with all the cars in the parking lot on a nice Saturday morning, there was more than plenty of running space and trails for all the dogs. Wish there was a place like this closer to our home!

Great off leash dog park, friendly Rangers.

Great place to take your dog on a hike!

Gorgeous park! Along with the Prairie there is also woods. A good place to go to relax and enjoy nature.

Our favorite off-leash dog park. Its so big that dog and owner get lots of exercise.

My dog loves coming to the Prairie Moraine park! I enjoy walking the trails while hes making new friends and exploring. Great place to get some exercise!

Among all the dog parks in the great Madison area (and by that, I mean of course the ones Ive visited with my dog), Prairie Moraine stands out. Its huge (the perimeter trail is approx 1.8 miles) with crisscrossing trails sufficient to allow you to avoid problematic dogs and still have lots of social opportunity - or near isolation if thats what you prefer. The trails are mostly wood chips or grass and are well maintained. Theres a woodsy feel throughout. A great experience for both the people and the pups!

Best off-leash dog park in the area! Hills, prairies, forest...just lots and lots of space for dogs and humans to walk/run/play/socialize. Were so fortunate to have this in our area.

So many kettles, so little time.

Wonderful area for your dog to run and roam off leash. This was my very first visit to Prairie Moraine and we didnt want to leave. We brought our 80lb Aussie Mix and he burned so much energy that he slept the whole way home. This park has many fields, trails and beautiful views for the whole family to enjoy. My 2-year-old daughter really enjoyed this park as well. Even though we attended on a very cold and muddy day, I was impressed with how clean this park was. There are benches and waste bins all throughout the park as well. My family and I have decided to make this park a weekly adventure. I highly recommend!

Awesome dog park, wish they wouldnt mow the Prairie grass.

Best park I have ever been to. You will not find a dog park of this size that is enjoyable for dogs as well as owners looking for a nice walk.

Best dog park ever

Access to Ice Age Trail

Best dog park, has the best trails and people are usually very friendly and so are their dogs

Huge dog park with many trails for lots of distance options. Well maintained trails, mostly wood chips with gravel driveway to top of tower hill. Beloved by many, yet never feels crowded because of size of park. I love this park for a great connection with nature for me and great exercise for my pups.

Very large off leash park thats well maintained. Roughly two miles for the entire loop, and lots of shortcuts. Mostly wooded with some open areas, dirt paths, and frequented by consistent crowds.

Huge, beautiful space with some woods, grass, water, etc. The best around

Best dog park in the Madison area. It is a bit of a hike from downtown, but well worth it. Very big park and even if the parking lot is full, everyone gets spread out so you never feel like the park is packed. The park has both trails through wooded areas as well as big open grassy areas .

This place is great dogs can run play with each other its a great place

I love this park, its huge with lots of shade

The largest and best dog park in the area. Lots of wide gravel paths, open areas, and small offshoot trails. It wouldnt be too hard to get a little lost if going off the beaten path!

Biggest and best dog park in the Madison area!

Nicely maintained hiking trails, good signage, not too far from the main road (which means you can hear traffic for at least part of your hike). Leashed dog only and off leash areas. We did see hogsweed not far off the path.

Beautiful Dog Park. I would highly recommend this park to anyone who has a pup.

A staple for when Im in town visiting family! This park is spacious with beautiful trails and all the room for our four (and three ;) ) legged friends to run around.

My dog and I lived it! Great exercise for us both.

Its great exercise not only for four legged animals but for their owners too.

So amazing!

Whats not to like about a 160-acre park with groomed paths, rolling hills, scenic views, woods and prairies! My dog agrees.

Best dog park ever ️ a bit muddy in the spring.

My favorite park in the area! Several trails to walk, friendly people and dogs. If your pup likes to run through the woods and high grass like mine though, be careful! Two times in the last 2 months weve come home and had to pull a thorn from a paw

Wonderful place for long walks with my pups.

Excellent off leash dog park. Lots of prairie and wooded trails, open areas for playing fetch, and benches for sitting and relaxing.

Beautiful park, lots of room to hike or run.

This place is huge and well maintained with great exercise areas for dogs and plenty of parking. Im serious when I say huge. Like, if you can see the Great Wall of China from space and its the width of a freeway, this place has to be visible too.

Both me and the pup love this place. It’s so wide open that even on the busiest of days it doesn’t feel super crowded. There is tons of room for the dogs to run and everybody I’ve encountered here is very kind.

Big dog park

Nice place for dogs to explore and meet new friends.

Best dog park in and around Madison! Great trails for dogs and people, meditation benches and poetry stations for reflection. Even when there are a lot of cars, have no fear you can still get away from it all in a few special spots. You can also access the ice age trail from the park and take your dog on-leash for even more beauty. The sunset is great out there. Enjoy!

Big green area where dogs and owners can walk into a safe environment!!!

Biggest dog park in the area and well maintained. Theres a mowed area in the back right where lots of dogs meet to play. Theyve also finally added porta-potties.

Really big and really nice dog park. We go there often even though we have Viking Village Dog Park within a few miles of us.

This place is going to the dogs, and that’s OK because it’s a dog park! I love this place and my dog loves it even more

Wonderful dog park

Such a great very large off leash dog park. There is a on leash area as well. Lots of different people trails and dog trails to explore. Free poop bags provided. Largest dog park Ive ever been to.

Great place for dogs and their people. Can be a little nuts near the parking lot but there are a number of trails to take lots of room to play. Most people and pups are there for fun.

This is my favorite dog park in the Madison area. It is fun to walk around, really big, and there are always dogs. My dog loves running through the reeds. He always needs a bath after visiting

Hands down the best dog park in the area! The trails are wonderful and the place is huge with lots of space for dogs to run. If youre not sure if your dog will return to you this might not be the best spot for you. There are many hidden trails that have been paved by dogs. There are also 3 different open areas of varying size where you can sit and play fetch if you prefer that to walking the trails. Trails are lined with many benches and also there is a gate that attached to the nearby Ice Age Trail segment if youd like to go a little further on-leash.

Huge dog exercise area. This is the best dog park in the area with a variety of terrain for dogs to explore. There is no water for swimming, but the size of the park makes it more than worth it. Be warned: if your dog is a runner it can be easy to lose him or her, as there is limited visibility in some areas of the park (thicker woods). We come here almost every day with our super high energy dog to burn off some steam.

Clean dog park...not huge but not muddy either

Best place to socialize your dog and get in a run!!

I just took my dog here for the first time with a group of friends and their dogs and it was awesome! The dogs were all in heaven and the people were all super friendly.

Great dog park with plenty of trails.

OMG! Do you have a dog? Does your dog like to exercise in huge expanses of prairie and trails? Then this is the place for you!Well attended. Not crowded. Bring your own water.

Well maintained and beautiful off leash dog park with plenty of trails for hiking.

Dane County has a great selection of dog parks. All are well kept and fun for dogs.

Great park for dogs! You can walk around there without a dog as well, and its a fairly large park. This is one of the larger parks for dogs Ive come across in the Dane County Area. Very quiet and secluded.

Love walking my dog off leash. 70 or so acres of beauty. Hills and prairie grasses.

Great park, large and the scenery cannot be beat. Lots of forest and prairie, hills, pine grove, wide trails, skinny trails, a little bit of everything. I agree that a water source and bathroom facility would bring this up to the five stars it deserves.

Nice shady trails for both dogs and humans to make endless loops.

This park is great because its basically going for a little hike with your dog(s). Bring enough water! They recently paved a new parking lot so the entrance is now in a different place, just further down the road.

Great prairie/oak savanna spot close to Madison. Has a few short nice trails, a great dog park and access to the ice age trail for those who want a longer hike.

Lots of acreage to enjoy.

I think this is my new favorite dog park. Its huge and hilly with nice paths and lots of varied terrain for my dog to explore. There are also apple trees, which keeps my toddler occupied while my dog gets exercise.

Huge undulating acreage - great place for dogs and owners to have the freedom to enjoy exercise and the beauty of the landscape. Very friendly dogs and owners!

Love this place! Wonderful hike for dogs and people. Its like no other dog park in any other state weve lived in.

Ive been to a lot of off-leash dog parks, & this one is definitely one of the best. The variable terrain & scenic beauty make it far more interesting than most. Its one of the biggest Ive visited, too. Ive been told that walking the perimeter is about a 2 mile walk.Starting a couple years ago, the Ice Age Trail people (& probably others) started restoring the original oak savannah, both within the park & north of it (part of the Ice Age Trail). It is all the more interesting to be able to watch as invasives are removed in favor of the original burr oaks, little blue stem, etc.Dane County does pretty well in keeping most major footpaths covered with wood chips, so mud isnt as much of a problem here. There is also a long gravel road that runs from the entrance to the big tower, & that allows you to avoid mud. Caution: There are a couple mudholes that exist almost constantly during the above-freezing weather. If your dog likes to wallow in the mud, you may have a problem.There are benches scattered around the park, in case you get tired. Also, my fellow dog owners are about as good at picking up after their pets here as they are at any other park.

Huge dog park. Love taking them every weekend. Very friendly people and dogs.

Fun dog park. Good people.

Best dog park I have ever been to. Picturesque trails. Great for a human workout as well as a canine one!

Great space for walking and exercising the dogs. Excellent for socializing the dogs (and yourself!) Many trails to change up the route. Best ever.

My dog and I love the PMCP. It is a beautiful park with lots of walking trails and its kept very clean and groomed well. I wish it were closer to Madison but I drive there 3 or 4 times a week because it is the best!!!

Our favorite dog park. Lots of space for dogs and humans to hike around. Very well maintained

Best dog park around. A lot good restoration work being done.

Hands down the best off-leash dog park in Dane County.

1.75 mile outer loop, all off leash, with plenty of shorter paths if thats not what youre up for. Also, apple trees! who can argue with that. Its also in close proximity to Wisconsin Brewing company, which I believe is also dog friendly.it can be muddy at times though, so be warned.Also, simply because it is so big and semi-forested, you could probably actually lose your dog there if your dog decided to make a break for it, so make sure your dog loves you enough to not do so. :D

Best dog park in the area! A swimming hole is all it needs! Great trails and diverse landscape!!! Right next to the ice age trail!!!

Huge dog park with lots of trails. Beautiful prairie scenery. I love coming here to either walk or run with my dog.

Huge enclosed park for dogs, but delightful place for humans to walk!

Well maintained dog park, we will go back there for sure!

Amazing! You could spend hours here exploring all the trails.

This is the best dog park in Madison. Many over a mile with multiple paths and many open spaces. Its almost like hiking in the forest with your dog without worrying about a leash.

Its just a great big dog park with lots of tree cover and paths to hike

We love this place! Its really big and has both wooded trails and open spaces.

Had great times with our Australian Cattle dog Zoey. She passed on March 16th with lung cancer. She was 9.

You can go on a decent hike here!

Natures beauty.

Best dog park in Madison! The whole place is fenced in, and theres a nice network of hiking trails throughout the whole park.

Great off- leash dog park!

Best place in Madison to take your dogs.

Great exercise for you and your dog!!

Great hiking opportunity with picturesque pararie, hills, and forrests. The park has nice view of beautiful church building and is located right next to a great dog park.

Great place to go for a walk with dogs/kids

Great place to take your dog. 100s of acres of land for your pooch to explore.

Small but good stretch of Ice Age Trail hiking. Also looks like a pretty popular dog park on the east side of the park.

Planted them trees

Awesome dog park, really spacious!
