Three Oaks Farm 100 Acre Field Walk In Fort Edward

Unfenced
100 acres

**9.8.26 Update** We are currently haying; it is weather dependent and goes day-to-day. If we need to cancel a booking with short notice, please accept our apologies. Please also note that we will be closed at various times during the upcoming hunting season, starting October 1st and ending December 22nd. Thank you! 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.

New sniff spot with many plans in the works. We plan on providing fresh water at some time. Adding more level ground. Clearing more tall grass. Bring your dogs and some chairs. Have a campfire or cookout. Will be adding more level ground and clearing. There is a nice flat spot away from the road along the creek for ball tossing. And a nice flat upper level. Plenty of wood laying around for a campfire. We will be adding some fire rings soon. Please be patient as we make this an even better sniff spot. Filling and leveling more ground as we go.

Frequently asked questions about Shaftsbury dog water parks

Why are private dog water parks better than public dog parks in Shaftsbury?

Private dog water parks in Shaftsbury eliminate major public park risks: unpredictable dog encounters that scare puppies, aggressive dogs that trigger reactive behavior, chaotic crowds that overwhelm seniors or small dogs, and disease transmission from dozens of unknown dogs. Shaftsbury's 35 private dog water parks offer complete privacy, professionally maintained cleanliness, and controlled environments. Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.

How safe are Shaftsbury dog water parks compared to public dog parks?

Shaftsbury dog water parks are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Shaftsbury dog water parks eliminate these concerns—bookings are completely private, all guests have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars.

Are Shaftsbury dog water parks safe for reactive dogs?

Shaftsbury owners of reactive dogs choose dog water parks because they offer safe, private environments for off-leash exercise without the triggers of public dog parks. Complete privacy means no unexpected dog encounters, no overwhelming chaos, no aggressive dogs. Reactive dogs can finally enjoy swimming and water play while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Shaftsbury reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.

Can anxious dogs safely use Shaftsbury dog water parks?

Yes! Shaftsbury dog water parks provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a facility featuring pools, splash pads, or water play areas specifically designed for dogs to swim and cool off at their own pace without stress. Many Shaftsbury dog water parks offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.

Are Shaftsbury dog water parks good for small dogs?

Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Shaftsbury dog water parks because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Shaftsbury avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—dog water parks eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

Do Shaftsbury dog water parks work for senior dogs?

Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Shaftsbury dog water parks because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Shaftsbury dog water parks with flat terrain, easy access, shade, and smaller sizes if your senior has mobility limitations. The privacy means your older dog can rest when needed and enjoy gentle exercise without stress.

What do Shaftsbury dog owners say about dog water parks?

Reviews of Shaftsbury dog water parks consistently highlight: excellent privacy for all dog types, secure fencing that prevented escapes, clean and well-maintained spaces, responsive hosts, and safe environments for anxious, fearful, reactive, senior, and small dogs. Local favorite Historic Farm: Dog Unlimited is particularly praised in Shaftsbury. Read reviews to see real experiences from Shaftsbury dog owners with similar needs.

How clean and maintained are Shaftsbury dog water parks?

Shaftsbury hosts maintain their own dog water parks and take pride in providing excellent experiences. All guests must have vaccinated dogs (or titers). Many Shaftsbury hosts provide poop bags, trash cans, and regular cleaning. Reviews highlight maintenance quality—browse Shaftsbury dog water park listings to see real feedback about cleanliness and upkeep.
