Lordy Lordy!  Coot lake has everything a pup could wish for!

Water, tall grasses, other dogs, and a plethora of sticks for fetching (we don't do balls as my dogs are great at chasing, but retrieving isn't their forte).

The kids (aka pups) and  I come here about 3 or 4 times a week, for a a good hour+ stroll.  We walk around the lake,  and then over to the res,  and then back to the lake for a final swim.  

Normal Boulder leash laws apply, so make sure that you have a voice and sight tag if you plan on letting Fido run free.  I also suggest a bowl of water as the lake water is very tempting for our furry friends but tends to give them some tummy problems.

Enjoy the lake this summer, and keep your eyes open for me and my crazy pups!

Just got back from a run here with my pooch.  Truly spectacular.  Thunderheads were rolling around doing their thing in the sky, and the light that was hitting the lake made it a beautiful shade of sapphire.  Lots of birds chirping, and on a Monday morning I only saw one other car (maybe that was because of the weather though).

Really well-maintained running and walking trails, dogs can be off-leash (with tag of course), and though the Coot Lake trail is only 1.2 miles long, you can connect to the Boulder Res. trail (without having to pay the $6 Boulder Res. Parking fee) and make your run/walk much longer.
