Off Leash Dog Park
Quite possibly the largest dog park in NY :)
When heading into the park, take your first right just before the toll booth. Drive yo the hill a bit til you see a trail on your left. Park, and walk in. This trail connects with the main trail in Taughonnnack, but for the first bit you can get away with having your dog off-leash.
