Big Sioux Recreation Area Dog Training Park
Big Sioux Recreation Area Dog Training Park is a natural and tranquil spot ideal for independent dogs and their owners who enjoy the outdoors. It features a mowed play area, restroom, water fountain, picnic table, and plenty of unofficial trails through tallgrass prairie and woods. While scenic and suitable for stretching legs and sniffing around, it lacks a fenced or gated area, which may limit off-leash activities for some dogs. The park is wheelchair accessible and good for kids.

My dog loves it here
This is just a mowed grassy area with a trail that goes into the woods. It leads to a kayak & canoe only campsite in the back. Sort of strange to be labeled for dogs but there’s no gate, so you might not be able to go off leash for more unruly dogs. Just a little area for dogs to sniff and stretch their legs outside.
Awesome place for the more independent pups/humans – those who enjoy the outdoors and being “off the beaten path,” so to speak. There are plenty of unofficial but clear trails throughout the tallgrass prairie. Up by the parking lot, there’s a restroom, water fountain, picnic table, and a mowed play area. There is no gate at the entrance. We only saw one other person and pup, and we all mostly stayed out of each other’s way.
