The lake is so much fun! Spring gets to run around and chase geese and rabbits and play in the waves. She has an infinite amount of room to run and explore (at least it feels that way to her). Plus there are several different terrains that makes it a unique walk every time we have gone. Below are some pictures of the lake along with pictures of my mom's and sister's dogs.
Update: I decided I wanted to add a pro/com list (11/1/16)
Pro:
~ almost infinite amount of room
~ can swim with your puppy
~ has flush-able toilets
~ super fun things to chase for the puppy
~ cool terrain
~ safe
Con:
~ pay for parking
~ summer is super busy
~ well trained dog required
~ dog will return wet and muddy (often stinky and sandy)
~ no actual trails on the beach area and hard to navigate around some "creeks"
Beach run on the North side
Tiny waterfall my husband tried damning up (it's like taking a little boy with me sometimes) The teacher in me wanted to plan a class field trip to see what erosion can do to an area.
Spring satisfied with her treat as the other dogs beg my husband
If you look carefully you will see geese and a dog who isn't remotely close to the geese but is still chasing the geese haha
Hint: The dog is the black spot by the push on the right the geese are on the left over the water.
Exciting car ride to the lake (added because it is cute)
The South side of the beach where it is rocky but you get a pretty cool walk at the base of Folsom Dam.
One of the many creeks you have to walk across that feed the lake (another cool example of erosion)
