is there a dog swim park in VA?

Pam&John · June 2011

I saw the post below about the one in Anne Arundel County, but that's a bit if a ways from Herndon. Does anyone know of a place for dogs to swim in VA? (other than the baby pool we've got set up which is so very Klassee)

The one in Shirlington is along the water and I always see dogs swimming there.

I know at the end of the season a lot of the pools will do a doggy swim. Not sure about during the season though.

I always see dogs swimming off of Roosevelt Island in the Potomac. Same for some of the streams off of Turkey Run. When I lived in Burke briefly, the community lakes in the townhouse developments seemed to allow dogs swimming as well.

Shirlington dog park off Four Mile Run has both an off leash dog park and allows dogs to swim in the stream.

thanks (to PP, too)!

after I posted, I Googled (I know, should have Googled first) and I saw that... mixed reviews but certainly closer and therefore worth checking out!

Note about Four Mile Run and Roosevelt Island: watch out for Giardia. Those streams/areas are notorious for yucky stuff, and my lab got giardia after swimming at Roosevelt. She's never had a problem with Shirlington/Four Mile Run... but other dogs definitely have, so just be careful!
