Off-leash spots worth the drive

  1. Ellicott Island Bark Park

    Ellicott Creek Park island

    A roughly 15-acre off-leash island in Ellicott Creek Park — unique in that it isn't fenced; the creek is its boundary, with access over a double-gated footbridge. Dogs roam shaded paths and a 'dog beach' with multiple points of creek access for swimming.

  3. Sullivan's Island Dog Beach

    Sullivan's Island beachfront
