About the Park
Open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., this fenced dog park in Hartwell gives off-leash dogs a grassy place to run in Georgia's northeastern lake country. Separate areas for small and large dogs let owners match play to size and temperament. The grounds are shaded by mature trees, which helps on humid Georgia afternoons, and pavilions with picnic benches give handlers a place to sit. Benches ring the run, and waste bag stations make cleanup straightforward. Admission is free. Because posted hours and seasonal conditions can change, confirm access times locally before a long drive, and bring water for warmer days near Lake Hartwell.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Daniel is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Best of all, Daniel is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
