No. 86 Orcas Island Off-LEash Dog Park

Orcas Island’s off-leash area is located adjacent to the Port of Orcas Day Park at the corner of Mt. Baker and North Beach Roads just north of Eastsound. Formally called the Eastsound Off Leash Dog Area, it’s about an acre in size, with grassy and wood-chipped areas, dog water, Mutt Mitts, a dog “toy box” and picnic tables. The creation and maintenance of the park is really a grassroots effort. The park is supported by donations of funds and services from many islanders and visitors including the The Port of Orcas, which generously donated the use of the land until it is needed for airport purposes. There has also been an effort by many users to keep the water containers full and the area clean – and help out to spread out wood chips to help make the park more usable during the wet winter weather.
