Not very dog friendly
You can bring your dog but your only allowed to walk them on the walkways or grass/picnic area but they're not allowed on the beach or in the water. They are allowed on the rental boats or your own boat but that's it. If you're looking to have a picnic where there are not many dogs around then this place is okay. But there are better places that aren't as strict.

Great for walking but dogs MUST wear shoes because it’s beyond hot in this area. dogs are allowed in the boat but not in the swimming area of the lake.

Okay place
The lake rangers are very strict, we were just walking our dog across part of the beach to get to the park area and we’re yelled at from a ranger boat on the water with a bullhorn to “get off the beach with that mutt”, is the park is nice but it sucks that you can’t take your dog swimming and the rangers are extremely rude.
