22 acres of private woodland property with approximately 4 acres of clearings to let you pup run and play freely. Excellent training spot with only mother nature's distractions to contend with. The ranch was my boy Murphy's most favorite place on earth! Every pup who has come to visit literally smiles the whole time they're there and usually fall fast asleep on the ride home. It's a little slice of heaven to spend quality time with your pooch(es).

FAQ About Alpena dog park
