- DestinyNov 27, 2021Nice hike!
I took my two pups and they loved it! The hike is very easy and about a mile long. it’s very beautiful at sunset as well.
- JamieAug 21, 2021My pup enjoyed it!
It was a very easy hike to the reservoir. My dog loved the water and was so tired by the end! We love a tired pup! Make sure to bring a bad to store your dog poop bags. There are trash cans but not always on the trail.
- RobertaJul 3, 2021Hot but fun!
You have to climb about 1-1/2 miles to get to the reservoir. The trail has a gradual grade & not a bad climb but very little shade. We have a black dog & ended up crowding under what little shade we found — often with other dark colored & long haired dogs. Once there we had plenty of shade & our dog was able to cool off in the reservoir. Also, there were no bathroom facilities for humans. Our dog had fun & made new friends.
- MelanieJun 21, 2020Nice Trail To A Dog Reservoir!
Stratton open space may not officially be a dog park but it is very dog friendly! There are 2-3 different short trails you can follow with your dog (leashed) up to a fenced in, large, clean man made reservoir that is designated for a dog’s swimming heaven! Many people had hammocks strung between the trees. The openings to the area are open but 95% of it is fenced in. It’s not muddy at all
- AssiaJun 13, 2019Great Place For Pups to Swim
Favorite summer hangout
- JadenMay 13, 2018Great Place!
My husband and I love finding new places to take our dogs on an adventure. Stratton Open Space is the perfect place to go. There is a short hike to the reservoir where the dogs can cool off in the water and play with other fur babies. Definitely 5 bones for us and the dogs LOVED it too!
- KellyMore than a year agoAWESOME! Loved it!
My husband and I have been looking for somewhere to take out German Shepherd. This place was perfect! Not only did we get to take him on a hike, but he also got to run and swim at the end. We will definitely be coming back.

Stratton Open Space in not an off leash park.
This Park has been getting patrolled heavily lately although it is a very nice park.
