Shepard Dog Park

location_onRhinelander, WI

River access is a highlight at Shepard Dog Park on Boyce Drive in Rhinelander, where dogs can reach the Pelican River from a fully fenced, off-leash space. Separate areas for small and large dogs, seating, tables and chairs, and dog drinking water round out the grounds, and the park is free to use with more details on its own website. It is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The split small and large dog areas let owners pick the right space for their dog. Rhinelander sits in Oneida County in Wisconsin's Northwoods, a lake-and-forest region with warm summers and long, snowy winters, so the river access is most inviting in the warmer months.

Rhinelander's Dog Park

Rhinelander has one dedicated dog park — Shepard Dog Park. While having a single park means fewer options, it also means a tighter-knit community of regular visitors. Getting to know the other dog owners and their dogs can make visits safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

Off-Leash Safety

Some parks in Rhinelander offer fenced enclosures, which are ideal if your dog is still working on recall or if you simply want peace of mind. Always check the fence condition when you arrive — look for gaps at ground level that a determined digger could exploit.

Water Play

Water features are available at parks in the Rhinelander area. Bring a towel and consider a dog life jacket for deep water areas. After water play, rinse your dog off to remove any bacteria or algae.

Best Times to Visit

Dog parks in Rhinelander tend to be busiest on weekend mornings and weekday evenings after work. If your dog prefers calmer environments or you're working on training, try visiting during off-peak hours — mid-morning on weekdays is usually the quietest.

What to Bring

Pack fresh water and a collapsible bowl, poop bags, and high-value treats for recall practice. Even if the park provides waste stations, bring your own bags as backup. A basic first aid kit with styptic powder and bandage wrap is smart to keep in your car.
