Dog Parks
Enjoy our three dog parks located inside the gates of Big Canoe.
Remember to use a leash with your pet when you are not visiting our dog parks!
Please use a leash with your pet, unless you are visiting one of our beautiful dog parks. Having your pet on a leash protects them as well as every member of the community. Keep in mind that not everyone is a dog person. Also, please keep your pet on leash while walking the trails of Big Canoe. By having your pet on a leash, they are protected from becoming lost, being bitten by another animal, or frightening wildlife. If you have questions, please send an ASKTHEPOA.
A Place for our Pets
Big Canoe takes pride in our Dog Parks. These areas are fenced and maintained for your pet to have a safe location to run and play.
