It only makes sense that the Land of 10,000 Lakes would include places for Minnesota dogs to visit. However, it’s essential to check with the places you’d like to take your canine companion ahead of time. Public recreational areas and state parks usually don’t allow pets unless they are service animals. A word to the wise: some websites may claim sites are dog-friendly, but verify it yourself before you go.
