The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Michigan City

North End

If you are looking for a great place to eat with your pooch in tow, head to North End in Michigan City. Overboard at the Marina, near the lighthouse, has pup-friendly seating outside overlooking the lake. This casual restaurant serves American-style fare, including burgers and a selection of seafood. Bridges Waterside Grille has pup-proof tables out on the decking and serves a selection of seafood, sandwiches, salads and delicious drinks. For something a little heartier, head to Ryan’s Irish Pub and take a seat outside with your dog for a bowl of chilli, some warming soup, pork chops or a burger.

Beattys Corner/ Purdue U-North Central Campus

At the south end of Michigan City is the 112-acre Creek Ridge County Park, complete with a three-acre puppy playground! The Bark Park at Creek Ridge County Park is a great place for Fido to run off some energy and meet new friends, while you relax on the grass or at one of the picnic tables. There is fresh water available here, but bring a drinking bowl for your buddy, as he is sure to work up a thirst! When he is ready for a slower pace, you can take him on-lead along one of the creekside trails and boardwalks to cap off your visit.

Earl Road/ Ohio Street

Ruby Woods is 35-acres of woodland in the town of Michigan City. Here you will find a series of trails that welcome pups on-lead, as well as picnic areas, a playground and plenty of grassed areas for all-family fun. There are toilet facilities as well as drinking fountains at Ruby Woods. Bring a drinking bowl for your dog, as well as some clean up bags. If you are hungry after your visit to the woods, stop by Carlson’s Drive-In for a hot dog, burger, sandwich, salad, or a refreshing drink to finish off the day. Your pup is welcome to sit by your side at one of the outside tables.

Gardena

A great little nature trail winds around the Barker Woods Nature Preserve. There is the choice of two loops, one at 0.24 miles and the other 0.54 miles, so you can choose a short stroll through the trees, or do a few laps to really get those legs (and paws!) working. The Nature Preserve is 30 acres in total and is home to some rare old-growth forest. Marvel at the majestic white pines, red and white oaks, sugar and red maples, witch hazel, American beech and black gum trees. Your pup will love this walk with you, but he will need to stay on the lead. Make sure you take your clean up bags.

Springfield/ Ambler

In the neighbouring town of La Port, nature-lovers will rejoice at finding Ambler Flatwoods Nature Reserve, named after the expanse of boreal flatwoods in the area. The total reserve covers an impressive 310 acres and is a favourite spot for locals and visitors keen on a little hike. With pup on a lead, you can walk the varying nature trails, from the main Louise Landau Nature Trail at 1.3 miles long, to some of the loops at around half a mile each. The forest is rich in diverse plant life and protects many endangered species, so stay on the designated path and always take any rubbish with you.
