Got a water dog?

Lake Lagunita Palo Alto

Lake Lagunita is the perfect place to take your water dog to romp.  Seemingly overnight Lake Lagunita transformed from a dry lake with a puddle of water in the middle to a full sized lake.  Yesterday when I was there a family was out in a row boat enjoying a ride around the lake.  At about 5:00 pm it was as if a silent Lab call went out because people with their Labs started streaming to the lake from every direction.  The dogs were delighted.  They charged into the water, chased each other on the shore and ran after the Canadian geese clustered at the edge of the lake.  It was a scene of pure joy. 

I am not sure how long the water will last after the rain stops so now is a good time to take your dog for a water adventure.  Parking is free on the weekends and after 4pm during the week.

Hi, Djuna. I wanted to say that it's actually illegal to have dogs off leash at Lake Lagunita. This is especially the case when the lake is full of water as it is the breeding site of a protected species, the California Tiger Salamander. Dog owners can be cited and fined by the police. It is a nice recreation area, but it is necessary to show respect for the use rules (they're in place for good reasons) and for other users of the lake (not everyone is a fan of dogs).

Thanks!
