love bringing my 2 Huskys here for a cool summer play. It's not gated and they semi listen. But you do have to walk down a bit if a trail to get here. All surrounded by trees and brush, which helps my dogs to stay in this area. Lots of land and water to run around on, and they absolutely love it! The closest place to park is the Buckjersey lot, then walk down the trail until you reach the open area. *** we tried to come in the early days of warmth, and were surprised by how many snakes were in the water. Thankfully, they swam away from the dogs and the dogs didn't see them or they would have been trying to play. As soon as we saw that we packed up right away, don't wanna take that risk. Never even saw a snake here any other time. Not sure if it was just the wrong time in the year to come??? *** But still, a great place to come. Have picnic tables and trees for shade. Bring bags to pick up after your babies.
