Porter's Pond Unfenced Private Lake Access. Beach and Dock. In Buxton. 30min from Portland
Great spot on a small pond/lake for swimming! 30minutes from Portland. Super super quiet midweek!!!! You probably won’t see anyone else. Beach for entering the water or a dock for splashing and dock diving practice! Swimming for people and dogs at your own risk! No lifeguards on duty. Life jackets available and one large dog life jacket for Labrador size breeds. Great this time of year when our waterdogs get kicked off the beaches for tourist season. Cool off, have fun, enjoy your own space. Bring your own canoe or kayaks or SUP boards if that’s your dog’s jam! Options to park at the main road for a short nice shady walk down the dirt road to the water or drive down and park. Special accommodation for senior and disabled dogs to access water and park closer (AWD or 4WD best) please request. There are three neighboring dogs; one a very smart excellent recall off lease medium size female (typically not down there before 2pm midweek) and the other two are both always on leashed medium sized female dogs. While we cannot guarantee total privacy we do have our own dedicated waterfront space separate from our neighbors just not fenced in. The road access is a private way so it would only be our neighbors known to us. Must carry out all trash and dog waste.

Seth's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Scarborough
My name is Seth and I've been a lifelong dog owner. I've always loved getting out for adventures and finding new spots to let dogs romp off leash. My dogs Boss and Kona were temperamental with other dogs so it was always important to find safe spots to let them off leash. They were the inspiration for my fenced in backyard! Kona passed in September 2022 and Boss passed in July 2023, so I've opened up the space to those who might need a fenced in area to help their dog(s) expend that energy! We believe a tired dog is a happy dog, and an even happier owner 😉

PLEASE READ – Important Info Below Updated July 13, 2025: We mowed the spot today! Planning to weed whack around the agility equipment soon—check the first few pictures for how it currently looks. Depending on my health, it may take a few days to finish. About the Pooch Playground: Located on a scenic working farm (you may see tractors or people at a distance), this fully enclosed ¼-acre space sits beside a small woodland, offering peace and privacy. The nearby field is preserved for wildlife. Grass Care: We mow weekly on the highest setting—grass stays longer than a golf course but never over ankle height. This protects the lawn from wear and dog urine. We also leave small "islands" of taller grass for sniffing fun. Shade & Seating: There isn’t much natural shade, but feel free to move the chair to a shady spot if needed. Frisbees: Free to take home! Pool Info: The water may look cloudy due to an algae inhibitor and barley treatment—it’s safe for dogs. Other Notes: We do morning and evening chores, so you may see us around. The garden, house, and barn are far enough away that it's rarely a disruption. Lost a toy in the tall grass? Just let us know—we’re happy to fetch it for you.
