My dogs had a great time on this beautiful farm. The app routed us near the greenhouses and we met some very nice people as we began our walk. We will be back, thank you!

Beautiful, fenced yard! There's plenty of plants and different types of spots for dogs who love to sniff AND there's room to throw balls.
Will definitely be back.
There is a pond and one of my dogs did decide to go for an unsanctioned dip 😅

It’s always a pleasure - so fun to see what’s bloomed since our last visit, and the dogs loved racing each other and sniffing around

Beautiful space. Great host! 25-30 minutes north of Albany on the other side of the Hudson.
Horses and other dogs on premises and open view to them. Using these opportunities to desensitize him to other dogs. Kat was great with advice.
Plenty of toys, but our pup was too busy with all the new smells and the horses, which were a new thing for him. They have a sprinkler, which was not set up yet, although they offered to do so.

Our pup loved it here! Small tip for humans who want to hop in the water; would recommend bringing water shoes as it’s a rocky beach.

We found this place last minute and we are so glad we did. Our boy Zuko had the best time ever at the private beach and he swam for the first time. The owners are very kind and hospitable. I would recommend this to anyone to has their dog with them during the Cooperstown Baseball tournament!

Whitney was very nice and showed us to the private access to water. Beautiful site on the water to sit and relax on the dock or up above the water.

Most magical place ever!!! Property is amazing! The ponds are awesome, one even has a dock for dogs to jump off and the trails are great for the dogs! Everything was incredible!

Loved this spot again, the swimming and the trails are a blast for my dog. Fair warning, I’ve pulled 7 ticks off him so far, even being on two tick preventions, so be sure to check your dog and yourself!

We had a blast here!! There is so much to explore and the hosts are so friendly. Our dog got to swim and run and play. We walked on the trails and then had time for him to swim afterwards. The lake is so clean. We will 100% be back, such a great find to get our dog out of the city for a few hours.

This place is amazing! My dogs and I had a great time. There are lots of nicely maintained trails to walk and space for the dogs to run. The host is great and was so nice to meet us on our visit and explain the property to us.

Great spot! Very quiet and peaceful. My dog loved sniffing all of the animal tracks and running along the trails.
There are a couple of places that go right by the road—we didn’t have an issue and walked all of the trails including those areas, but they’re easy to avoid if you’re concerned. My dog found a coyote carcass in the middle of the property, so there’s definitely wildlife around! We didn’t run into any ATVs
What other types of private dog parks are available?
Fully fenced dog parks
Very popular choice, perfect to contain your dogs if they are escape artists or if they are not good at recall.
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Ballston?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
