It is a rustic magical place. Parking is far from the street down a gravel driveway. Safe for your pup and you to get out of the car. You can park anywhere. If you feel comfortable you can drive down to the lower field to get even further away from the road. I live down the street while I am fixing up the old house. So, there maybe someone at work in the house. Once you park, the best walking is down to the creek. Go to the lower field and look for the opening in the woods. 150yards from field is the creek. On a hot day, wear good creek shoes and walk up and down creek. If you cross the creek there is a great trail that circles around to the Powerline. Warnings: 1. there are lots of deer! 2. There are old barns. Do Not enter any of the buildings! They are very dangerous!!!! I have rescued reactive dogs. I want to create a safe space for your dogs and you to enjoy my great property.

Sam's 36 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Johnstown

Get a breath of fresh country air and walk down a mowed path through the fields, at the bottom you’ll find a creek with a active beaver damn. If your into bird watching this is a great spot. If you have special requests, please let me know ahead of time, but I will try to keep a supply of fresh bottled water down by the creek in A sealed container along with access to Dog Bowls and a few toys. You will find a picnic table and plenty of chairs perfect for a picnic or a magnificent Sunset view. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle with decent clearance, you can drive down to the bottom fields, but that is to be done with extreme caution and clarification before doing so as this is also our home and part of a community garden. I would also like to add that I am not down there everyday and I never know what the Beaver is going to do next. Recently he did cover a few things with mud as well as stole toys, and possibly a couple solar lights to add to his damn. It’s always an adventure… He does appreciate apples or fresh produce so I encourage visitors to leave an offering at the waters edge and maybe he will spare some of the items we use down there? Lol - Have fun with it, everyday is an adventure!
