My dogs and I like to travel to Galena, IL every 3 or 4 weeks. It is a three hr ride so the pups are ready to get out, have a quick burst of energy and a quick drink. I like that an outhouse is provided along with a couple of cemented in picnic tables. Just the necessities for a quick picnic, come prepared. No water or bar-b- ques that I have noticed. Although you could put in a kayak or canoe on the river. We then hit the trails or walk about the neighborhood taking in the beautiful historical architecture. We like to walk to nearby Grant Park, very nice, rich with local history, the dogs appreciate Jordan's Fountain, and a cool drink for dogs in the park, Excellent . In addition some playground equipment for children can be found. All with in a few blocks of Depot Park Playground: Nearby at Grant Park Restrooms: Only have seen an outhouse Dog-friendliness: I walk my dogs all over town on leash and clean up any messes and have received many, "Oh, what beautiful dogs." I would say that a few more properly place garbage cans might encourage more responsible pet ownership. Nobody likes to carry it around. Picnic area: There are some moveable picnic tables around the parking lot and a couple of cemented down tables at the far end by the river access. No potable water, fire pits or bar-b-ques.
