Where Junction City Dogs Live and Play
We know this town has a lot of dogs. And a lot of places to walk them.
Out on the west side, the Spring Valley subdivision around Elm Creek Drive is full of townhomes and family yards. Downtown, the blocks around Heritage Park at W 6th and N Washington see plenty of leashes on any nice evening. Over on the east side, Martin Luther King Jr. Park at E 12th and N Franklin gives the neighborhood a playground, a picnic shelter and some grass to sniff.
A few favorite spots for a dog walk around town:
- Playground Park at 5th Street and Eisenhower Drive, one of the city's largest parks and home to the Municipal Pool and Sprayground.
- Helland Park at 1499 Rucker Road, with about 2.5 miles of trail for hiking and trail running. Bring water. Lots of water.
- Riverwalk Landing in the 200 block of East Ash Street, the city's newest park. Its pond loop is a quick half mile right off I-70.
- Homer's Pond in the 100 block of North Eisenhower Drive, a stocked fishing pond with catfish and bass.
- Coronado Park at W Ash and S Washington, which honors WWII and foreign wars veterans.
Lake Days at Milford, Just Up the Road
Milford State Park sits just northwest of town on the southeast shore of Milford Reservoir. That's the state's largest lake, with about 15,700 surface acres and 163 miles of shoreline. Bringing the dog for a weekend? Only the Big Oak and Pinto cabins allow pets, and they carry a $50 pet fee. Check the Milford State Park page from KDWP before you pack.
Closer to town, the River Walk Trail follows the Republican River from the Milford Lake outlet tubes. The Bluffs Park Trail is a one mile gravel loop with a fishing dock and a playground.
Here's the thing. A dog who hikes all weekend still comes home and uses the backyard Monday morning.
Junction City's Pet Rules, in Plain English
Junction City keeps its animal rules in Chapter 215 of the municipal code. Here's the short version:
- Six pets, max. You can have 6 dogs and cats total per household.
- License every year. All pets must be licensed annually through the City of Junction City.
- Pit bull rules. You can keep up to two pit bulls, Staffordshire terriers or similar mixes per household. They must be spayed or neutered, microchipped and current on rabies. Every adult over 18 in the home must pass a background check through the animal shelter.
- No running at large. A dog found running loose can be impounded under Sections 215.035 and 215.060. Officers can't go into a secured fenced area, so a good fence really does help.
- Keep the barking down. The code treats habitual barking or howling that disturbs the neighborhood as a violation.
Strays that land at the shelter are held for 72 hours, or 3 full business days, before they can go up for adoption. For a loose dog or an animal complaint, call Junction City Animal Control at 785-762-5912. The city lists every contact on its Who to Contact page.
Picking up on walks? Just do it. Curious how poop fines work? Read up on fines for not picking up dog poop.
