About Dearin Reserve
Off-Leash Dog Area at Dearin Reserve
Dearin Reserve has a designated off-leash dog area where dogs may run unleashed around the clock. The reserve is unfenced, so the area has no enclosure that keeps dogs contained, and owners need to keep their dogs under control at all times. The ground slopes across the site, which gives dogs varied terrain to move over. Large trees spread through the reserve, so the dog area stays shaded in warm weather. Because the reserve has no fence, owners of small or nervous dogs should supervise closely.
