Icy exploring the rocks and a little waterfall around the lake at Belmont Lake State Park |
It's such a beautiful park, I'm so happy to have it available for public use and for well behaved, leashed dogs to enjoy with their owners! The lake and walking/hiking paths are so lovely, we really enjoy it.
A PIECE OF HISTORY
CANNON BAAALL!! OK, SO THAT'S REALLY FOR THE POOL, BUT THIS IS AN ACTUAL CANNON. The Belmont Lake State Park Cannons have been there since the park was a privately owned mansion, owned by the Belmont family.

BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SURROUNDINGS & HIKING TRAILS
CHECK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL TREE, DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT HALLOWEEN TREE? OR PERHAPS THE KEEBLER ELVES LIVE IN IT?? OR PERHAPS A HOBBIT?!
I shall guard the tree in case the elves or some hobbit try to escape and wreak havoc throughout the park! |
Phoebe and I stop along the bridge to watch the ducks play in the stream |
The ducks were so cute! There's 4 of them, it's funny but the two in front almost look like alligators, don't they? But it's the back tail end of two of the ducks, LOL! No gators on Long Island! |
A GOOD SOCIALIZATION OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR DOG!
Parks make for great socialization opportunities for dogs, as long as both are leashed and they both want to meet. Phoebe met this cute little boy, I think she was kinda smitten! |
When you take your pets out for a fun adventure, make sure to Hydrate and Keep Your Pet Safe!
Summer and Fall are prime times for flea and tick activity, be sure to protect your dog against flea and tickborne diseases like Anaplasmosis (Tick Fever)!

Oh, what a fun outing! Lots of great pics - and that totally does look like the Keebler elf tree! :) We haven't really been anywhere new since our Big Bear trip in May. We've been kinda sticking close to home since it's been nice and cool at the coast and Rita's not a fan of walking/hiking in hot weather. Which reminds me, we need to get to the beach!
These are great photos. I love Phoebe on the cannon so much. That tree is INCREDIBLE! It must be really old. Thanks for brightening our day.
I love places like this; a little bit of history and dog friendly too! It looks like a perfect summer outing.

Thanks Jackie, I love these photos, it's such a gorgeous park. I'm glad it's been well preserved and is open to dogs!
Thanks Melissa! I love that photo of Phoebe too, it's a riot! We actually have the same shot of Icy up on a cannon from last year. I should frame them both & hand them on the wall!
I love historic places too, it's so important to preserve them. When they allow dogs it just makes it that much better!
Good post.:)
