The Spring Lake Water Bark is a fundraiser for the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation, which raises money more more than 50 dog-friendly parks and trails in the Sonoma County Regional Parks system.
For four weekends in September following Labor Day, dogs are welcome at the Spring Lake Swimming Lagoon for off-leash swimming and romping.
The water in the swimming lagoon is filtered, chlorinated and closely monitored by Regional Parks staff to ensure it is safe for dogs. The swimming lagoon is separate from Spring Lake, which is not treated.
