Jake's Fenced and Unfenced Private Dog Park In Humboldt

Let your dog run wild and free—this is a dream spot for pups who love nature and adventure! Our property features wide-open space with fields, trails, woods, and even a lake and beach area for water-loving dogs to splash and explore. Whether your pup likes long grass to bound through, short grass for zoomies, or even mud and sand for digging, there’s something here for every type of dog. You’ll also find wetlands, chances to spot farm animals and wild animals, and plenty of scenic views to enjoy during your visit. There’s a hydrant by the windmill tower for fresh water (just bring a bowl!), and a designated digging area where your dog can go wild without guilt. We have both a fenced area and unfenced areas, it’s large and open—perfect for dogs with strong recall or hunting breeds used to off-leash roaming. For humans, we’ve got off-street parking and plenty of peaceful surroundings to take in while your dog gets their energy out. If your pup loves water, open space, and new smells, this spot will definitely be a favorite. Come visit and let them explore it all!
