About the Park
MacKay Bark Park brings an off-leash dog area to the mountain community of Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino Mountains. It is free to use. The high-elevation setting sits among pines well above the valley floor, so expect cooler temperatures and genuine winter weather, including snow, which can affect access seasonally. It is a useful stop for residents and for visitors exploring the lake area with a dog. Details such as posted hours, fencing, and whether the run separates small and large dogs are not confirmed here, so read the on-site signs when you arrive. Bring water and waste bags, and keep an eye on your dog while it plays with others in the shared space.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
MacKay Bark Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, MacKay Bark Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.

This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
