Off Leash

Experience unleashed play within the 70 acres and 1.5 miles of trails at Off Leash.

New for Winter at Whitewater in 2024, Off Leash now features an illuminated trail with an agility course. 

The Whitewater Center has always been a world-class destination for guests and their canine companions, offering woods, lakes, and trails to explore. Now these outdoor experiences can be enjoyed without restraint.

Within the Off Leash area is a pebble beach, dock, and dog wash station. Guests can hike, walk, and run along the 1.5-mile Lake Loop trail, which runs along the area’s chain of lakes. There is also plenty of open space and wooded areas for guests and their dogs to spread out from others, play fetch, practice training exercises, and more.

Guests start their experience at the newly constructed Barley House on the premises. This building is home to a new retail and food & beverage outpost, where guests can purchase food, treats, and beer — with offerings for both people and their dogs.
