hunting for dog-friendly swimming spots near the tri-state
Last weekend, I packed up my old Subaru and set out with my dog, Max, hoping to find a good swimming hole somewhere near the PA, NJ, and NY borders. We drove through winding backroads, passed a few sleepy towns, and even stopped at a diner that still serves coffee in those thick ceramic mugs (you know the ones). But every spot I found online either had a 'no dogs allowed' sign or was so crowded, it felt more like a public pool than a hidden gem.
Honestly, it’s starting to feel like finding a quiet, dog-friendly swimming spot around here is some kind of local secret. I get that not everyone wants wet dogs shaking off next to their picnic, but come on—there’s got to be a place where both humans and pups can cool off without getting the side-eye. Anyone else run into this? Where do you actually go when you want to swim with your dog and not feel like you’re breaking the rules?
