55Awesome spot! Our three dogs were exhausted after only 40 minutes.
55Great spot in the fall too! Love how much Kin can run and sniff and go crazy here. :)
55I have a reactive dog and it was a little slice of heaven visiting Marlow's playground. The trails feel magical. The fence is very secure. Beautiful spot!
55Second time here! We discovered the other watering hole. Such a great spot.
55Amazing spot to tire out a high energy dog! Lots of area to explore and great communication from the host!
55Awesome! Nice mowed pathways through the tall grass! Our dog found the mud puddle…I think that was her favorite part! Fenced all around. Great communication with Sean!
55Well maintained walking paths and secure fencing. Great place to let the dogs explore and run around without worry. Would definitely go again!
55Excellent communication with the owner, and we LOVED the spot. It's huge! We rented a second hour because there was so much to explore and my dog was still going strong. The paths wind around through brush, long grass, trees...and give tons of room to stroll along while the dog runs. My dog was truly living her best live with the smells, areas to explore, and grass and mud to play in (we were there while it was raining). Will definitely be back!

I walk Marlowe (German Shepherd / Husky) in the area daily, but will schedule his walk around visits. He may be outside as you drive by the house. He's on an e-fence that keeps him over 100 yards from the area but he will bark as you go by. If he's inside he may bark as well. He's very friendly with people but hit-or-miss with other dogs.

Location

Potsdam, New York

Description

Fenced-in 18 acres with trails through the pasture, woods, and 2 watering holes.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Wood piles, uneven ground, tire tracks in trails, prickly blackberry canes, tics, deer flies (especially during the summer), mud, frogs, snakes, and poisonous berries (buckthorn and honeysuckle berries will upset your stomach). There is also a spot with trash from prior owners dating back to the 1980s. There are 3 tree stands in the enclosure. Please do not climb them. The views have been universally described as "disappointing." If you want to be disappointed as well, you do so at your own risk. The fence reaches the ground but is not buried into it. There are spots, particularly where it runs through the woods, where natural features or tire tracks have left several inches under the bottom of the fence (for example, see the picture of the gate). If your dog has a mind to dig their way out and you leave your dog unsupervised for long enough, it can happen. Please do not leave your dog unsupervised. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water
