Fresh Water Lake for Dogs?!


  I love the beach but let's face it...It's salty! So Sara and I put on our thinking caps, and we went on the hunt to find an alternative. From word of mouth, I heard of a place, in Fort Lauderdale, where dogs were actually allowed to swim in a freshwater lake.

 After we arrived to the park, I was amazed to find out that there was only a fee of a $1 (weekends but during the week, it's free) to attend the lake! What put the cherry on top of the ice cream was that there was a dog park and wash area attached to park. I had to laugh seeing all the dogs jump into the lake to retrieve plastic bottles while swimming beside the turtles that were local residents of the lake.

  The location is great as well because about 10 minutes east of "Bark Park" is the "Dog Beach".
 
  If your dog loves water, then you have to visit "Bark Park" located at Snyder Park. It's Fabulous!!
