However, we did not see that many places with this decal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead some shops had alternative signs, like the two shown below.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs.jpg\" alt=\"Saratoga Springs: Dog Friendly Things to Do - dog friendly signs\n\" class=\"wp-image-17086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-735x331.jpg 735w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-335x151.jpg 335w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-347x156.jpg 347w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-520x234.jpg 520w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-640x288.jpg 640w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-960x432.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Saratoga Springs: Dog Friendly Things to Do - dog friendly signs\n\" class=\"wp-image-17086 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-300x135.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-768x346.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-735x331.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-335x151.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-347x156.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-520x234.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-640x288.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs-960x432.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Signs-in-Saratoga-Springs.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-13\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But we found some dog friendly stores did not display any dog friendly signs but allowed us to enter when we asked if it was ok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the ways you can identify dog friendly stores that may not have a sign is to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoversaratoga.org\/plan\/dog-friendly-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discoversaratoga.com.<\/a> There you will find a list of dog friendly stores but it does not seem to be up-to-date with new stores that have opened since the program was started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, just pop your head in the shop and ask if your dog can accompany you into the store.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing to note is that not all the shops in the program are located on Broadway.

The 400-acre estate is now an artists&rsquo; community that is run by the Corporation of Yaddo.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the buildings are closed to the public, the garden is open to visitors to walk around and enjoy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not very large the gardens are beautifully maintained by the Yaddo Garden Association (YGA).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting the gardens, you will see that they are divided between lower and upper terraces that are separated by a pergola. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you walk beyond the rose covered pergola to find the rock garden, plus the upper and lower pools and fountains. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola-.jpg\" alt=\"Yaddo Gardens Rose Covered Pergola - Happyoodles.com \" class=\"wp-image-17098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola-.jpg 400w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--335x251.jpg 335w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--347x260.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola-.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Yaddo Gardens Rose Covered Pergola - Happyoodles.com \" class=\"wp-image-17098 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola-.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--320x240.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--335x251.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola--347x260.jpg.webp 347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Yaddo-Gardens-Rose-Covered-Pergola-.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-19\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yaddo Gardens Rose Covered Pergola &ndash; Happyoodles.com <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The best part of the garden, in addition to its beauty of course, is that they allow leashed dogs.

Unfortunately, neither are dog friendly but you can walk around the grounds to admire the stately architect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the only <strong>active &ldquo;spouting geyser&rdquo;<\/strong> east of the Mississippi River here. Well, the Island Spouting Geyser is not technically a geyser by definition but it does resemble one.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of heat pushing the water up into the air like a true geyser, the Island Spouting Geyser uses pockets of carbonic gas that is trapped beneath the deep layer of shale to propel the water out. Either way it is still amazing to see.   <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter.jpg\" alt=\"Saratoga Spa State Park - Island Spring - Happyoodles.com\" class=\"wp-image-16994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Saratoga Spa State Park - Island Spring - Happyoodles.com\" class=\"wp-image-16994 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter-200x200.jpg.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Saratoga-Spa-State-Park-Island-Sprouter.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-23\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Saratoga Spa State Park &ndash; Island Spring &ndash; Happyoodles.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To find the Island Geyser you can take the Geyser Creek Trail which is an easy 2.9 mile mostly paved path that runs along the Geyser Creek at points.

They are just one block away from Broadway.   Phone: 518-450-1305.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we called, we were told that our dog could accompany us on either the upper covered patio or the lower patio.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We chose to sit on the lower patio since it provided more space for our pup to lay down.  There were three other dogs there already when we arrived. All the pups were well-behaved and kept to themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I noticed that water bowls were put out for dogs at some tables. We were not offered one.  Not sure if you needed to ask.  We prefer to use our own portable water bowl anyway so it was not an issue for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise the people working there seem to be very dog friendly and at ease with having the dogs around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comfort Kitchen<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Another dog friendly option is the highly rated <a href=\"https:\/\/comforteats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Comfort Kitchen.<\/strong><\/a> They serve locally sourced, seasonally inspired comfort food at a reasonable price.  Open for breakfast, lunch and an early dinner.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comfort Kitchen is easy to miss since they are located on the lower level of the Saratoga Marketplace on Broadway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also enter the restaurant at their back entrance at 17 Maple Street.
