went here for my first time a couple weeks ago with my pug and frug and frenchie
my pug LOVED swimming in the lake with the big dogs - I've never had so much fun at the dog park with my babies!
the lake is not completely gated but I didn't see any dogs swimming so far as to where they would jump out on the ungated portions. You'd want to keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don't get to that point
it's gated enough to where I felt safe. the lake dog park area is shared with all sizes of dogs and everyone got along great. it's like a beach where you walk in the shallow and then it gets deeper the farther they go out.
there's a washing station to wash off your pets when it's time to go -wish there was more than one but the wait wasn't bad.
you can take them to one of the normal gated dog park areas after the rinse off to dry
it's a 40 minute drive from where I live but I'll be back!
