About the Park
River access defines Maunesha River Dog Park on Hendricks Street in Waterloo, where a fully fenced, off-leash area reaches the Maunesha River. There is a small-dog-friendly area, shaded spots, waste bag stations, and wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking, and entry is free. The park is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM. The river access gives dogs a place to cool off and wade, while the shade helps on warmer days. Waterloo sits in Jefferson County in south-central Wisconsin between Madison and Milwaukee, an area with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, so the river is most inviting in the warmer months. Bring cleanup bags and keep an eye on the water when your dog wades.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Maunesha River Dog Park 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.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Best of all, Maunesha River Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.

Your dog's favorite toy
