13. Bonus - Belmont Dog Harbor

This is not an official "dog-friendly" area, but there is an unofficial one where your dog can play on the beach and in the lake off-leash. It's on the west side of Belmont Harbor at about Hawthorne Place. It gets kind of icky, in my opinion, but many owners brave it and the dogs always seem to be having a blast.
