The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Sylvan Lake

Sylvan Lake

Sylvan Lake is a small town, but still has lots of space that is dog-friendly. The Sylvan Manor Park provides shaded trails, open space, a basketball court, baseball field, and a playground for kids. Dogs are welcome at the park while on a leash, with additional features including trash bins, benches, clean-up stations, and water fountains. The park also happens to connect to the West Bloomfield Trail, a 6.8-mile rail trail that leads southwest out of town. The trail is dog-friendly to leashed pups, but owners will have to bring water and clean-up bags.

Keego Harbor

Keego Harbor is the western neighbor to Sylvan Lake, and is only a mile away from the small town. The area has lots of grassy areas that include the Fran Leaf Park, a dog-friendly park with a small pond for fishing, paved trail that encircles the park, playground, restrooms, and water fountains. Dogs must remain on a leash inside the park during the park hours from sunrise to sunset. The Lodge Grill and Bar is one of the dog-friendliest places around that serves fine food and delicious beers, with dog-friendly seating outside, complimentary dog bowls and even offered grilled chicken bites for your pup!

Orchard Lake Village

Orchard Lake Village is another small town that's only 3.5 miles from Sylvan Harbor and is taken up by a large lake and beautiful green space. Some of that green space is protected in the Orchard Lake Nature Sanctuary, a nature park with scenic trails, native trees, plants, and wildlife. The park is dog-friendly and offers a mile of dirt trails that wind through the park. Dogs must remain on a leash shorter than 6 feet inside the park, and owners must bring water and clean-up bags. The town also provides dog-walkers with the Msgr. Walter J. Ziemba Baseball Field, a grassy area with a basketball area, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, and lots of open space for Fido to run around in. Your pup will have to remain a leash though while playing!
