So Fun!

Just to clarify a previous post - Dogs aren't allowed on the beach at Lake Mohegan, but they ARE allowed on the trails around the lake. (And you don't need to be a resident to walk on the trails.) There is a nice clearing about 1/4 mile in where the dogs congregate to go swimming. My dog had a blast. If you don't frequent dog parks, here are some things to keep in mind: there were about a dozen dogs in the swimming area off leash (your dog needs to be friendly), a bulldog peed on our beach bag (so watch out), another dog jumped on me and put a dirty paw print on my shorts (so be careful what you wear), and you might consider bringing extra tennis balls if your dog likes to play fetch because the dogs don't really understand which ball is theirs and may run off with at least one of your balls. Such is the nature of dogs. We were thrilled to find a place our dog could swim off leash in the summer. We'll be back!
