Union Reservoir Dog Beach

If you're looking for a beach that's gone to the dogs, you'll want to bring Fido and the fam to the Union Reservoir Dog Beach! This pawsitively awesome spot is the pawrfect place to bring your best canine pal for a swim and day of fun in the sun. The reservoir, once called Calkins Lake, consists of 736 acres of water and is one of only a few remaining natural lakes in Colorado. 

While there is a swim beach reserved specifically for use by people, there is also a pawrific dog beach where people and their pooches can enjoy the clear lake waters together. And the best part is this dog beach is a leash-free zone! If your fave furry friend could use the chance to run off some steam, you've found a doggone great spot where he can do it! Fido can practice his very best zoomies along the sandy coast, then show off his swimming skills in the lake; this beach was made with his needs in mind. Feel like working on some new tricks? There is even a section reserved for dog training and games where you can teach your doggo cool new stuff and impress other dog owners with how smart your best pooch is. 

Your fave furry friend will be the talk of the town! Just be sure to keep Fido on his leash when not in the designated off-leash zone. The cost to enter this beach and park area is $10 per weekday and $12 on weekends, witha $2 fee for walk-ins. Season passes can be purchased for a cost of $65 per year for residents, and $150 for all others. 

Union Reservoir Dog Beach is also a pawpular spot for fishing. Why not cast your line out in the clear waters of the lake in search of a walleye, carp, trout, or even a tiger muskie! Just be sure to pack a picnic lunch in case the fish aren't biting. Bring along some bottled water and clean-up bags too, and always stoop and scoop. 

If you're looking for a doggone great spot for a day of fun with Fido and the whole fam, Union Reservoir Dog Beach is the place for you. You'll give it two paws up!
