The paths maintained by the National Trust around the lake are generally wide, flat, and well-surfaced.

Loe Bar Warning: While dogs are allowed on Loe Bar, it is absolutely vital that you do not let your dog (or yourself!) enter the sea here. The beach shelves steeply and is notorious for freak waves and deadly undercurrents.
-
The Lake: The freshwater of The Loe is generally much safer for a paddle, but look out for local National Trust signs warning of seasonal blue-green algae blooms in the warmer months.
-
Estate Paths: The wooded tracks around the Penrose Estate are fantastic for dogs, offering plenty of safe, off-lead sniffing opportunities.
