Belmont Harbor Dog Beach

Highlight • Beach

Belmont Harbor Dog Beach is a fully fenced dog beach in Lincoln Park on the shores of Lake Michigan and is a small dog oasis where dogs can run, play, and swim off-leash. The beach is very clean, and parking is free from Monday to Saturday, but a $10 fee is required on Sundays. It is located right next to the Lakefront Trail, making it a great pit stop for your pup during a run. Remember to keep your dog on a leash when entering and exiting the fenced area and everywhere outside of it.

This transformed landscape, once prone to flooding, now features thriving native wildflowers, grasses, and sedges adapted to its wet conditions. Beyond its ecological significance, the area also serves as a stormwater retention zone for the neighboring artificial turf sports field.
