We have also come to go to our friend church were he Pastor's, which was the case this time. We had our little Jack Russel Terrier in tote so needed to give him some exercise and a potty stop. This park has lots of room for playing fetch, exploring, and running your dog. I don't remember if it offered bags to pick up after your dog but we had our own. This park really has a lot to offer. It has a skate park, bleachers, a baseball diamond, a covered area, picnic tables. Please refer to the pictures.

The best dog park in Northern Idaho by far!…read more What it has going for it: - large and small dog areas - dog drinking fountain in each area (human drinking fountain in large dog area) - great fencing, entry areas & gates - plenty of seating - lights so you can take your dog when it gets dark - plenty of parking right next to dog park - canopy in both runs - some obstacles in large dog run - poop bags provided - concrete walkway (no mud when it rains or during snow melt) - pea gravel ground cover (no mud when it rains or during snow melt) - bathrooms for humans right next door - vet across the street (in case of an emergency) What it has going against it: - it could use more shade The town of Ponderay did a great job with this dog park. It hits every mark that makes a dog park...great. If you check out my the reviews I have done been to over 175 dog parks through out the years, so I have seen the worst and some really great ones. This dog park is easily in my top 10 of all the dog parks I have been to. Kudos to Ponderay for doing it right (better late than never), now it is up to its citizens that use it, to keep it great.

The pool is full of chlorine but obviously that's just a safety hazard to protect against children that swim in the pool. Nothing special about this park for the swim yard but it does bring Brack and memories but I would recommend it for anyone in the area to bring their kids at least once

As soon as we arrived the people in front of us quickly got stuck because of the boulders that are placed everywhere. The people that work there sat in the golf cart and proceeded to watch them for thirty minutes. My spouse had to help with 3 others to jiggle a boulder so they can gain an inch of room. The area where they ask you to put up tents on are white rock filled area next to our fire pit and picnic table. We were asked to not use the "ground" dirt to camp but did point out many tents using this. The rules are ridiculous, no hammocks , and if you are disabled and use a cane like I do good luck maneuvering around the unnecessary costly boulders that are not an improvement but a waste of cost. Never again will I or seventeen others visit again. Enjoy your boulders.

One of the cutest, prettiest, calmest parks I've ever been to. I always enjoy going! Great park.read more

Great place to float and swim and get some relief from the summer heat. It was busy with families and quite a few dogs when we went.

There are meals on most weekends as well as old school movies most every Friday night. Sat night is usually games, karakoe or a dance. There is a pool and hot tub and miles of maintained trails on their 400 acres. It is a great value for the money. It is not a 300 a night resort. There are rooms(think dorm rooms), tent spaces and RV spots with water and electricity for a bargain. The membership skews older(50-70) but they are very active and do all the work of running the place. The visitors skew towards younger and we sure had fun and made new friends while there.

The pool and hot tubs were very clean and well taken care of. You can purchase breakfast/lunch there as well. I believe the Ranch is actually ran by all volunteers and members. It looked like on certain days of the week they have events such as movie nights or game nights. Restrooms were clean and people are very friendly and welcoming. Totally would recommend bringing sun screen, bug spray and a towel to sit on. Being naked means being vulnerable, but it also means being free to be our true selves.

I am sure lots of people know about it but we are always able to find a spot and it is not overwhelmingly busy - like, ever. And we appreciate that. Teaching a 5 year old to swim with 3 dogs in tow and I am constantly losing my sunglasses, is difficult in a crowd. There are places to camp out for the day, the lake is wide open and is fairly shallow for those with kids, and there are places for grilling. Check, check and CHECK. Have fun this summer!
