This fully-fenced dog park features an off leash, mostly fenced in swimming area!
PROS
Swimming! There's a small spot of shoreline just for dogs to swim
Fully-fenced Good for fun off-leash time
Large Enough for a good Chuck-it throw, not so big that you're walking half a mile when Callie doesn't bring the ball back.
Summer Flow The water was slow here. I don't know what it's like during winter, but this is a decent hole for non-swimmers to get in the water.
Small Dog Area always nice to have so the large puppers don't freak out the smaller ones
WATCH OUT
Busy River This is right on the Deschutes. We went on a summer Friday, and the river was BUSY. This is not the swimming hole for you if your dogs like to jump on kayaks, or doesn't have the best recall.
Rocky Water Access The access to the water is rocky. They're all large boulders, but I didn't want to get stuck with 2 dogs trying to get down there. We didn't go for this reason, and Mollie is too unpredictable as a puppy. I didn't want her to try to swim to the nearest person and flood their raft either.
Gravel in the dog park. If your dog has sensitive paws, this spot is a no go.
