Looking for a fun day out with your four-legged friend? While it can be argued that most of Montana is dog-friendly — the state is, after all, full of wide-open spaces — you might be surprised by how many hiking trails and other public spaces are for humans only. But if you live near Bozeman, all you have to do is head to Canine Beach at Bozeman Pond.
Bozeman Pond Park is located at 550 South Fowler Avenue.
452 S Fowler Ave / Google The park has something for everyone, from a large fishing pond to tennis courts, volleyball, picnic sites, a climbing boulder, and a large pavilion perfect for events.
Canine Beach is a large dog swimming beach on the shores of the pond, and the pups love it.
Kade Estill / Google Canine Beach is fenced on three sides, and the fourth side borders the pond.
Your dogs are allowed to swim to their heart’s content, as long as they are well-behaved and nice to the other pups.
Kurts Tech / Google Most dogs love swimming, and if there aren’t any safe spots for them to swim in your neighborhood, this will promptly become their new favorite place.
As with any dog-friendly outing, there are a few things you’ll want to be aware of during your time at Canine Beach.
Brayden Borrowman / Google You know your dog better than anyone, so make sure to look for clues that they’re feeling off or threatened by other pups. Look for signs your pup is getting too cold – lethargy, shivering, and muscle weakness. And remember to keep a close eye on your dog at all times.
If you both need a little beach break, you can walk over to the Lewis & Bark Park Dog Park, which is also at Bozeman Pond.
Shauna B. Hoffman / Google The dog park is also fenced in, and dogs are allowed to run leash-free as long as they’re well-behaved.
The next time you and your dog need some exercise, check out Canine Beach at Bozeman Pond.
Susan Sullivan / Google The only thing dogs love more than spending time outdoors is spending time with their people.
