Reviews
Had so much fun playing with my pup and she loved swimming! Just beware of rocks, there are some sharp spots and she got a lil cut on her paw.
Great place to take the kids to swim. Even my big fat self had fun!
In my opinion,this dog park is not well maintained. Somewhere in the trails it was hard to walk because of the weeds. Also I found some broken pieces of glasses spreading at the very beginning of the trail. I wonder who wrote this in some glassware and break them into pieces to spread it in this dog park. Dog owners please be careful about it.
Nice short walk into the woods to a large fenced area for dogs to run and play. It’s fenced on 3 sides with the 4th side open to the lake so dogs can swim. There is also a picnic table and a bench for people to sit while their dogs play. My dog LOVES it!
Great dog park! Lots of space with one side of the park against the water and the other three are fenced in. Exactly what my dog needs on a warm summer day. There might be payment required to enter the park but I did not have to pay. Bring your own toys and watch out for the roots but otherwise it was a great dog park. Does take a bit of a walk at the end of the dead end to reach. Easily take a hike with your pup after swimming!
