places to take your dog swimming

Hey everyone,

I just moved to Durham from Michigan a week ago and I was wondering if anyone knew of any areas where I would be allowed to take my dog swimming.  He loves the water but I haven't been able to find a place to take him yet.   Any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks! 

Re: places to take your dog swimming

  • We sometimes go swimming at a quarry in Durham, and plenty of people also bring their dogs. Here's a link to a little description of it:

    It's part of the Eno River State Park. It's off of Hillsborough Rd. in Durham, although I know it by sight and can't think of the exact directions/road names off the top of my head. You should be able to find directions by looking at some of the official Eno River State Park stuff online.

  • We've been looking for the same thing around RTP.  We're moving here from a farm with 3 ponds that our pup swam every week.  That's a good idea listed above.  We are moving to a neighborhood that also has 3 ponds.  We've never seen anyone else swimming but there is a park in Apex that has a 2 mile trail.  We've seen people letting their dogs swim there.  As long as you don't see signs prohibiting dog swimming, I'm sure you'll be just fine.  Explore different Durham/Chapel Hill parks and see what you find!  It's such great excersize for them--especially when they enjoy it so much!!!
