Water Dogs

We love our swim buddies, but the beach across the street from The Landing says ‘no paws allowed. Not to worry though! We’ve got great spots nearby for some tail-wagging splash time. Always remember to keep your dog on a leash and watch out for designated dog areas signage.

Kiva Beach – the best place for some fur friendly splashing and meeting new friends

Fallen Leaf Lake – takes a short hike to get there, it’s pretty quiet & absolutely beautiful

Reagan Beach – close to the hotel, pet-friendly shops/restaurants nearby, and there’s a dedicated pup zone on the beach

Nevada Beach – take a nice easy walk through a campground to get there, and there’s a small designated area for dogs
