Chicago Dog Beaches/Lakes

mulroony · 06-17-2005, 10:54 AM

Does anyone know anything about the dog beaches in Chicago? Or of any lakes near Chicago that are not disgusting? I have heard about two, Montrose Beach and the one in the Harbor just south of it. Just wanted to see if they were worth the drive to head there with my pup, now that I know she likes to swim and retrieve in water.

I would normally just take her to a lake, but all the lakes around me are gross, and may be dangerous.

Here are other some other websites. Chicago parks are free however, the suburbs ones requrie a permit. (and are worth the money).

Thanks. I will be checking a lot of these out over the next couple weeks. I just wish they had more to offer on the south side.
