My dogs had the time of their lives here. The owners were all friendly, all the dogs we came into contact with were pleasant. It was an overall REALLY great time for everyone!!!

This was our first time out to bow wow beach with both of our dogs our younger dog loves the water. And we thought that she would like it out there and our older one typically doesn't, but by the end of the day the little 1 had actually waited out for a little more. It was amazing.They both loved it to death and we plan on coming back

Local realtor and dog dad …. He loves the water so this was so much fun for him ! Bow wow beach has a separate space for small dogs if they don’t want to be near water or other dogs. There’s poop bag stations everywhere and shade with seating all over. Great place to take your pup!

We brought our dogs here more than a few times in the last decade. Its a nice and well kept place to give your dogs some happiness. The lake makes a nice swimming place for dogs to enjoy in the summer, and the small dog playground is a plus.

Bow wow Beach is just as it is described. A lake with room around it for dogs to run and play. This was our first visit, and it came the day after a rain. That was probably ill-advised, because it made the park smell very much like a dog park. I'm sure it would not be that way on a dry day. There was plenty of parking, and it's part of a larger park with other amenities. There's also an unusually large small dog park attached. It does not have lake access, but it is very big, grassy and lovely compared to most of the postage stamps UC for smaller dogs. The folks we talked to were very nice, and there were plenty of places along the way to sit down in the shade. You do have to remember, that if you take your dog here, you will need to give it a bath afterwards. You might also want to bring a towel and your own water, in the vain attempt to keep your dog from drinking from the lake. My dog did not go into the lake all that much, but everything is muddy. The proof is in the pudding though, and my dog had an absolutely wonderful time. She ran and played and just had a lovely adventure. She's the pretty beagle in the pics. I think we'll go back, although it is a bit of a hike for us. But on a nice day when you want a drive, this is definitely a good destination.
