A spokesperson from GWM Water has confirmed pets are allowed at Lake Lonsdale but with some conditions.
“Pets are allowed at the lake but must be in direct control of the owner,” the spokesperson said.
“They must be on a leash at picnic grounds, established camp grounds and when there are people around.
“Dogs can not go in the water, unless they are there for hunting purposes.”
Owners are also expected to use doggy bags to clean up after their furry friends the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson also said technically other pets are allowed at the lake too, but must follow the restrictions too.
Some of the signage at the lake allegedly says pets aren’t allowed.
The spokesperson said GWM Water is in the process of reviewing the signage to ensure it is consistent.
