   As you might expect, the Summerfield neighborhood is filled with fields, open plains, and grassy areas that look great in summer and winter. The Bald Mountain Recreation Area takes up about 4,637 acres of that space, and provides humans and their dogs a friendly outdoor place to exercise and hike. There are over 15 miles of marked trails, fishing sites at the inland lakes, and a sandy swimming beach. Dogs must remain leashed and cannot go in the water. There are trash bins in the parking aream and benches throughout the park. If you plan on staying in the neighborhood, the Red Roof Inn is dog-friendly to any sized dog for a small fee.

   #2 S Lapeer Rd/ Waldon Rd

   36

   The South Lapeer Road and Waldon Road neighborhood is in the heart of Orion Township, and consists mostly of dense forests and natural fields. If you're looking for a walk with Fido through these woods, then the Polly Ann Trail will be the best place to go. As a rails-to-trails path, the trail is made up of old railways and travels north for over 32 miles. Dogs are welcome on the trail while leashed. After a few short miles, the path will lead straight into Camp Agawam, a dog-friendly campsite with over 140-acres of land. Owners will have to come prepared with water and clean-up stations for both activities.

There is 1 mile of paved trails in the park, and access to restrooms, picnic areas, a fishing pond, 8 soccer fields, 4 baseball fields and barbeque stations.

   #4 Lake Orion Village Center

   12

   Lake Orion is a small village incorporated into the Orion Township but is a separate town. The Village Center neighborhood is about a mile from the center of Orion Township, and hosts a bunch of dog-friendly activities. One of those places is the Atwater Park, a 3.14 acre park with small open areas and paths. Dogs must be on a leash and stay out of the picnic areas and children's play areas. For something a bit more secluded, head over to the Paint Creek Trail, an 8.9 rail-trail that travels the northern length of Lake Orion. The trail has benches. Be sure to bring clean-up bags and water.

   The town of Metamora is 6 miles northwest of Orion Township, with a favorite dog-friendly activity located right in the Hadley neighborhood.  Ortonville Recreational Area is a 5,400-acre park with plenty of dog-friendly options to enjoy. Whether wanting to play freely in some of the open fields, get muddy on the shoreline of Big Fish Lake, or walking through over 3 miles of gravel and dirt trails throughout the park, your pup will be in outdoor heaven! Dogs can even go into the picnic area and shelters, campgrounds, and the boat launch, and adventurous pooches may even try a boat or kayak on the lake. Throughout the park, Fido must remain on a leash or under voice control at all times.
