The Old Swim Hole
Welcome to Manson’s ONLY waterfront off-leash dog park! **PLEASE REMEMBER TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG!**
NEWS: Manson Parks has been moving ahead with the much-anticipated development of this community park! We’ve spent the past several years researching, planning, and securing permits. Unfortunately, bids came in significantly higher than anticipated in December of 2025, so the project is on pause while we work to secure additional grant funding. As soon as we can, this fido-friendly park will be updated with paved parking stalls, ADA access into the park, a new seawall with water entry steps and handrails, a dock for non-motorized watercraft, and a boardwalk connecting to Manson Bay Park.
Enjoy an afternoon picnic, swimming, or playing with your dogs at the Old Swim Hole, just a block down from Manson Bay Park, in downtown Manson.
- Designated swim area (no lifeguards on duty)
- Dog friendly (yes, even the new-and-improved facility will welcome your furry friends!)
- No restrooms
