Winnebago County Forest Preserve opens dog training facility

From press release

Winnebago County Forest Preserve District recently opened the area’s first public sport dog training area at Four Lakes Forest Preserve. The 25-acre area features large open meadows and a half-acre pond. This is an ideal area for dog owners wanting to run and train their sporting breed pointers, flushers and retrievers.

Dogs must be kept within training boundary signs, and users must follow posted rules and regulations. All who use the training area must register on site at each visit. Entrance to the dog training area is on Trask Bridge Road (Highway 70). For location of Four Lakes, and 39 other forest preserves, visit www.wcfpd.org.
