Swan River

Not all areas of the Swan River are accessible to dogs, many of which are not off the lead areas. Here are some nice places to take your dog along the Swan River, many of which are allocated off the lead dog exercise areas - and great for letting your dog have a run around and a splash on a warm sunny day.
