Ephrata Unleashed Dog Park

160 Old Mill Rd, Ephrata, PA 17522

When someone says, “Ephrata’s going to the dogs,” that’s usually a bad thing. But not when you’re talking about a 40,000-square-foot dog park filled with drinking water fountains for you & your pup, ramps, benches, and, of course, doggie waste stations.
​
Yes, 40,000 square feet!
