An off-leash afternoon for dogs on Congaree and Penn's 330-acre fenced farm in north Jacksonville. Check in at the farm, walk your leashed dog 15–20 minutes out to the designated off-leash area, then let them run the open fields and trails, and swim in the natural swimming holes and the Little Trout River (expect mud).

Date: Sunday, November 22, 2026
Time: 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. EST (arrive and leave any time during the window)
Location: Congaree and Penn, 11830 Old Kings Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32219

Price: walk-ins pay $20 per dog and $15 per person and sign a waiver on site. Advance tickets are $15 per dog and $10 per person, but advance sales close 24 hours before. Farm pass included.

Rules from the farm: dogs must be friendly with dogs and people, at least 4 months old, current on rabies, distemper and bordetella, and spayed or neutered if old enough. Leashes 6 ft max (no retractables) until you reach the off-leash area. Max two dogs per adult; owners 18+. Kids are strongly discouraged. Good recall recommended (the off-leash area has no inner fence). Leave balls and toys at home. Heavy rain cancels.
