Coming back from Illinois yesterday and had time to go a little out of the way and check out Bow Wow Beach. They have two areas for small dogs. One is a secured area, fenced in, a little sand play area, one tree and a park bench. The other area is an unsecured small do area. It is fenced in area around a section of the beach. The fence goes about a foot into the water, so any big dog that wants to get into the small area can. It happened a few times while I was there. So be aware while there. That area has about four trees and a bench in the grass area, but the beach is nice. I am going to take a small cooler with me next time, because the water fountains are in the building across the lake. It's not a big lake, but it's probably a five minute walk over to the building. So a little FYI. There is also a play area with ramps and tubes over in the main area, so depending on how frisky your yorkie feels with big dogs depends on if you want to go over there. There were some small dogs in the main play area, and were getting along well. The people watched their dogs and kept them in control. (even the ones that that came through the water to the small area). I am looking forward to going again, I seen someone posted about 2:00 that would be fine, but I'm not sure how everyone feels about the possible heat of the day and the water situation. Either way I didn't look at hotels in Stow, but I came back through Streetsboro which is about a short ten minute drive and they have a selection of hotels I haven't checked to see which if any are pet friendly. Hope that helps everyone, see you in about a month. |
