location_onWest Linn, OR

River access is the draw at the Mary S. Young off-leash area in West Linn, along Willamette Drive south of Portland. Dogs can head down to a beach area on the Willamette and splash in the water, then explore trails winding through the woods. The off-leash area is unfenced, so keep your dog's recall sharp near the river and shared paths. Seating and picnic areas are available in the surrounding park. The ground is a mixed surface. It is free and open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Currents and cold water are worth minding at the river, and wet winters can make the wooded trails muddy.

Off Leash Area

location_onWest Linn, OR

West Linn dog owners have an off-leash area here in this Willamette River suburb south of Portland. Our listing confirms it as a free, public off-leash spot but does not document fencing, hours, surface, or on-site amenities, so treat those as things to verify locally before you rely on them. The name in our records is generic, which suggests details may be limited; the West Linn parks department is the best source for the exact location and current rules. Given the area's wet winters, expect soft or muddy ground in the rainy season. Bring water and waste bags, and confirm whether the space is enclosed if your dog does not have a reliable recall.
