About this park
A large county park on Jamesville Reservoir built around a guarded swim beach, with a separate designated dog area set apart from the sand. The off-leash section has no fences, so a dog that bolts has nothing to stop it, a point the regulars make plainly. Parking runs about $7, and the grounds add walking paths, picnic tables, fishing, and disc golf to fill out a day.

Before you go
Keep a reliable recall sharp; the dog area is open with no fencing to catch a runner. Visit on a weekday to dodge the beach-day crowds and find easy parking.
