Along the lake shore
Lakeside dog walks
Tracks along a lake shore, with flat going and easy access to calm water for a swim. Lakeside walking is some of the kindest ground for an older or younger dog, and the water is right there when they overheat. Check for toxic-algae warnings before you let a dog drink or swim in any lake.
