The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Wauconda

Country Ridge

Country Ridge is a small community just west of the Bangs Lake that features a gorgeous, tight-knit neighborhood where your dog will love the spacious yard. This residential community is located right next to the highway, which makes commuting a breeze. Despite not having dog activities such as a dog park in the neighborhood, there are safe places you can take Fido for a walk – safely secured on a leash, of course! There are also activities and parks within walking distance that your two- and four-legged kids can enjoy! This quaint area is a treat for pets that enjoy the comforts of a suburban neighborhood.

Maple St

Looking a place to eat with your favorite companion? Maple Street has plenty of places where you can enjoy the crisp air while chowing down on some great grub. Check out the award-winning Bulldog Grill for a juicy burger, or Whisk Bakery and Coffee Shop for a homemade treat that you can enjoy. Just be sure to bring one for your furry friend to enjoy, too! Both eateries have pet-friendly, outdoor seating. If you still have some energy, leash up and take a short stroll north for a great walk by the lake that your canine is sure to love.

Northwest Crystal Lake

Take some time to let your pups run around and get some much-needed exercise at one of the off-leash parks in Crystal Lake. If you find yourself in the northwest part of the city, take a trip to Hound Town Dog Park. This 3-acre puppy playground is a fully fenced-in area where your hounds can roll around and play fetch with their fellow canines. This neighborhood is just a 20-minute drive from Wauconda and is great for a Frisbee toss. Keep in mind that you will have to bring your own supplies, including toys and doggie bags.

West Hawley St

Looking for a neighborhood where you can hit the trails with your pup? Then head over to Mundelein, located just outside of Wauconda, IL. The Millennium Trail can be accessed from this area, and there are a number of pet-friendly housing units and homes available throughout the neighborhood. Lauretta's Italian Bake Shop & Café is a great place to enjoy a cozy lunchtime treat with your pooch. Similar to the Wauconda area and the surrounding cities, this lakeside community is perfect for pets and humans that love the beautiful forest scenery. Even without a dog park in the immediate neighborhood, residents are welcome to stroll through the streets to enjoy its charm.

Village Park

If you’re the type of pet parent that prefers to get some exercise alongside your furry friend, try the city of Winthrop Harbor.
