Three Oaks Farm 100 Acre Field Walk In Fort Edward

Unfenced
100 acres

Come explore the hay fields of Three Oaks Farm! We are a family owned beef producer on 124 acres in Fort Edward, NY and would like to share our fields with you and your dog(s)! Enjoy private, mowed paths while the hay is growing, or a completely open field that’s great for frisbee when it’s cut! This setting is perfect for a leisurely walk/run, photo opportunities in the grass/wildflowers or with the three large oak trees as a backdrop! We often share our fields with all sorts of wildlife including Bald Eagles, Osprey, geese, pheasants, deer, owls, hawks, song birds of all varieties and the occasional partridge! If your dog likes to swim after a walk, there is a swimming spot near the Dead Creek bridge! Parking is on our 1st field road right after the Dead Creek bridge, and is directly off County Route 46. The parking area is marked in the photos. **We ask that you please park near the road and do not drive down the field road when it’s wet. Please stay on the field road and do not drive in the hay fields. Thank you! **The east portion of the field does have a paddock of hot electric fence- it is easy to see the wire and posts. We do have beef cows/calves that are sometimes near the fence line- they are friendly and used to dogs; however, we strongly discourage attempting to pet them, feed them, or allowing dogs to get too close to them or the fence.

This is my own private doggy park in my yard, I've lived here since 2017 and my Golden retriever Tioga called this yard his home until he passed back in December, our hearts have been heavy but we have Raquette now and now it's hers❤️ but we want to continue spreading the love and the safety of a private fence, whether you're stopping by on a road trip and need a pee break, or if you're looking to socialize your dog or dogs regularly we got you covered. Its a little basic right now but we are looking to grow and expand with more toys and obstacles and such!
