Paw Point Dog Park — Attraction in Maryland

I drove all the way out here. The parking lot is on the other side of the river (almost parallel to the dog park (you can see part of it from across the river)). You have to walk all the way back to the bridge to cross over the river (which is like a half mile walk) and then all the way back up the river on the other side to get to the dog park. The walk isn't a big deal, cuz it gave my dogs a chance to sniff the area and go potty before we got there.

I get all the way up there to find out you need a membership to use the dog park. Nowhere was it mentioned on any of the billboards or paper information packets. There is like a door code for the gate to get into the dog part of the park. I talked to some people there who told me the membership for the whole park is $115!! Why? The dog park is in the middle of the larger park, everything was free. Fishing free, parking free, trails free, boating free, dock use free, using the BBQ's and the covered tables free, swimming free, playground free, but the dog park is where they see the need to charge a $115...

got to join with Parks and Rec. annual fee, off leash funtastic time for dogs to be free to play and swim and have social time. Lots of regulars and the people who bring their dogs are friendly company if you want to hang with humans instead of intruding on this instant accessed usually exclusive of 2 legged members, Dog pack. I find it quite amusing to try to follow where who is with whom, and then they're off again. Dogs can be taken through another gate to then swim in Lake Roland and fetch a tennis ball of if you're I mean they are lucky, a stick might just be handy! Be sure to take a view of the beautiful falls on your way in and out. They also sponsor nature events taught by rangers or a specialist pick up an events calendar provided at various points along your way...

I love the park. Everyone is so friendly and respectful. I love that the dog park is members only. It ensures the safety of the dogs in there. I don't want aggressive dogs in there. I hear horrible stories about dog parks, not here. If you want to join its $30/yr and a application. It's not hard. For everyone who says they didn't know its right on the paw point website. Not the parks fault you didn't read it before coming. There are some nice trails you can walk your dogs on. I'm a fan! It's...
