Another great place to take in the gorgeous Michigan scenery in West Olive is at the Port Sheldon Natural Area in South West Olive. This natural area has rolling hills, ponds, creeks, and hiking trails that span over 440 acres. Dogs are allowed off-leash here, but you'll want to keep them on a leash if listening isn't their strong suit because deer hunting is permitted in the area. Adventurous types love this area during the winter for its excellent cross-country skiing trails, and many people (and their dogs!) opt for doing off-trail hiking at Port Sheldon as well.
