Planning a pet-friendly boat tour in The Badger State? Dells Boat Tours in the Wisconsin Dells offers two pet-friendly excursions that explore the five-mile gorge surrounded by epic sandstone cliffs. The Lower Dell Tour takes tourists on an expedition through the wider section of the river and rock formations like the Baby Grand Piano, Hawk‘s Bill, and the Rocky Islands. The Upper Dell Tour stops along the way for Fido to stretch his legs in the Witches Gulch. This gives you a chance to admire the rocky landscape up close and watch a phenomenon called the Witches Bathtub in action. The other highlight of Wisconsin’s most dog-friendly attraction is a specially trained dog who leaps between two cliffs at Stand Rock.

Two enclosed dog parks, one on each end of the campground, would normally be enough to top the list of pet-friendly campgrounds in Wisconsin, but Al’s Fox Hill RV Park and Campground goes above and beyond. A dog pond will give your pup a place to cool off after running in the dog park, exploring two miles of nature trails, or hiking at Devil’s Lake State Park. In the evening, relax in one of the many hammocks scattered throughout the campground, including at the dog park, or catch a movie on the big screen by the community campfire. Pets of any size are welcome for no additional fee.

Kaukauna Dog Park, the best dog park in Wisconsin, encompasses 13 acres with three grassy areas to explore.

Dogs who prefer an evening stroll can still enjoy the park thanks to the well-lit trails.
