Dog Welcoming

One of the main reasons we chose Lock 30 Woodlands was because they were so dog friendly. In Ohio, generally, people are not very dog friendly. Instead of shops having dog water bowls, and "cookies" there are posted signs that say, "no dogs allowed." When you try to find a park or beach to take your dog to, it always says, "pets must be on a leash." When we go camping, it would never be complete without our Koby. It's probably his absolute favorite thing in the whole world to do. Dog friendly campgrounds aren't that easy to come by, most of the state parks "allow" dogs, but to find a dog welcoming campground is very rare for Ohio. Lock 30 Woodlands advertised, "Dogs who are under voice control can be exercised off-leash in the twenty acre riverfront, wilderness conservation area. Here, your dog can swim in the creek or in our 3 acre private, fishing lake. Afterwards, give Fido a scrub down in an easy to use dog-shower before returning to your site" Sounded wonderful for our Koby!

Behind our campsite was the path to the riverfront. Here's the view on the way down...
Once we were at the bottom, Koby got to play with his "Chuck-it!"

He just has the best time being a "retriever!" We came down here several times a day. Koby even found us our own private beach on the river...
