such a great place to take your pups, the trails are very wide and the lake is nice and shallow. A couple bridges and a nice loop bring you back to the very large parking lot that is really nice. I love taking my dog there, there is always a great adventure for us. A couple times she has found dead fish in the water, and an old dog of mine got sick from drinking some of the water and got a bad rash, probably from the beavers. So just be aware of what your dog is doing is the water. Overall, I love going there all the time.

My dogs absolutely favorite place! I love that the dogs run free here. Lots of different areas around the lake for the pups to play in the water and swim. Good walking around the whole lake. Super clean and well kept area. 99% of dogs are well behaved here. I believe it's because they are allowed to just be dogs and have fun!

Off leash dog area, great if you like to come see all the pups

If your dog needs to interact with other dogs this place is popular. Be ready for dogs offleash. You'll see dogs swimming in the lake and the trails are well maintained. Warning. You will occasionally see some homeless sleeping on the benches here. But other than that people keep to themselves. There is an additional park further back on the trail. It is partially fenced. Views are pretty. Parking tho is a nightmare. The lot fills and people park on the street. You cannot park in the adjacent lot since it is employees only so be ready for that. This is a local spot. You will see some picnic tables up front and benches on the trails. There are trashcans up front. You won't see any on the trail.
