Del Valle offers unique opportunities to swim with your dog in a lake, followed by a long hike.

The warm calm waters of Del Valle are great for enjoying a cool swim. It not just your dog that can jump in but also you. You will need to stay away from the main beach but an off-leash path along the water will give your dog plenty of opportunity to jump in. You can follow along the path and picnic on the water or continue on trails along the reservoir. The area can be very hot in the summer and there is limited shade … but that’s why you are going to the beach! There are not many lakes (or reservoirs) in the area where swimming or dogs are allowed so take advantage of this lovely park.
