This is a place where people launch their boats, however, there are places where people can bring their dogs there, too, and provides easy access to the lake for dogs and people alike! We went for the first time today, and It was fun because everyone brings their dogs! Some are off leash and some are on leash. There doesn’t seem to be a rule about that. We kept ours on leash to keep them close to us. We didn’t want them to run off… but there plenty of dogs running around off leash…swimming, playing fetch. It was a good time. Our dogs loved it! And both can swim!
