I was going to append this to the thread that currently exists about dogs at the boat ramp, but I thought it would get lost amongst all those messages.
It turns out that the original posting was totally incorrect. Dogs are indeed allowed at the boat ramp. I e-mailled the Parks and Recreation Dept. (which the original poster should have done before starting the bruhaha) and got the following response: Thank you for your interest in the Town of Alton park areas. We recognize the importance of including our pets in our parks and are providing the following references for your information. TOWN OF ALTON ORDINANCES AND REGULATIONS, March 1995 “3.3 Animals- Animals are prohibited from being in the water within any authorized swim area or being on swim docks. All persons shall be responsible to clean-up after their dogs and remove any waste substance from Town-Owned property.” TOWN BEACHES-DOG REGULATIONS “The Town of Alton has instituted a regulation restricting dogs from the town beaches and swim areas. This would include the sandy beach area and swimming zone located along 28A; the swim dock grassy area from the boat ramp to the community center and the actual swimming area.” Dogs are welcome in Alton Bay across from the public restrooms, parallel to the lake until the public boat ramp. Dogs are able to access the lake at the public boat ramp. Dogs are also welcome at Jones Field Park and Liberty Tree Park. To answer your question: A sign is not posted to prohibit dogs from swimming at the boat ramp. The sign indicates dogs are not allowed in the swim area, defined by buoys, and on the grass from the boat ramp to the Community Center. The boat ramp is outside the swim area buoys and dogs are permitted to use it. :0) Please let me know if you have other questions I'd be happy to help answer them. Kellie Troendle, Parks and Recreation Director So, it was all for nothing. Funny that someone from New Jersey figured out a way to find the answer to this question. Jersey Girl
