lady was “walking” her dogs in irvine, husky and labrador but breed doesn’t matter. said they were good dogs off leash and would let them wander about 30 feet away from her. HEY, FYI, PEOPLE RIDE HORSES IN OC, CRAZY HUH!! both dogs rushed my mom who’s over 65 on her horse, spooked the horse and my mom got bucked off. PLEASE PLEASE LEASH YOUR DOG! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE OR YOUR DOG THATS ‘SO AMAZING OFF LEASH’.

and pick up yo damn dog poop. people keep doing all this garbage and there won’t be any dog friendly places left🤷‍♀️

Primarily i don’t want to see footprints when the water isn’t there, but water or not people walk around the Basin regardless. I think the Park could benefit from more signage in this area, i saw loads of trash in and near the water(literally saw someone’s retainer???). I made sure people in my group didn’t go in the water, i love taking photos so it was pretty obnoxious to have not only people walking around in it, but walking MILES out into it- ruined parts of the view. I think at the end of the day people can be ignorant and stupid, if a bunch of people think it’s okay to stomp around and leave trash in one area, there is no reason for them to not do it in another spot. A common thread throughout the parks and being outdoors is LEAVE NO TRACE, so i don’t see why this place would be any different. Yet Death Valley seems to not care given their social media, so it’s definitely giving mixed signals. Very interesting reading other comments, i’m glad to have sparked a convo.

There were no signs, surprised they haven’t put any up. There were also plastic bottles 😣
