To add some context to the reply from Performance Pups; if for any reason you truly have a profound fear of this (which again, its been a dog park for 12 years) focus your pup towards the right hand section of the park where the water is most shallow (still waist high) that extends out about 15 feet. You'll be able to see the sediment as the water is crystal clear. The left hand side gets darker at a shorter range and that's where the concern of every owner can kick in. Always be vigilant, but know this is a locked park (with entrance fees) when not in use and it shares its waters with a recreational company on the opposite end of the body of water that focuses on water sport/ activities for families. Put simply, it's safer than going to the beach or open access areas where it's harder to mitigate risks as there is little oversight. Performance Pups is run by a dedicated team of dog lovers, and the people who go are also dedicated. I'm speaking as the latter. A dedicated dog owner.
While we cannot guarantee there will never be a gator in it the lake we have never seen one. The lake is not connected to any other body of water. Dogs swim in the lake seven days a week as do people on the opposite side of the lake from us. It’s not some random lake on the side of the road. It is a manned lake where they teach scuba diving, windsurfing and other water sports.
