🐶 Dog-Friendly Paradise: The Emerald Lakes of NY! 💚
📍 Green Lakes State Park 7900 Green Lakes Rd, Fayetteville, NY 13066 Just 20 mins from Syracuse, this park boasts two rare meromictic lakes (globally uncommon!) with stunning jade-green water—perfect for pups + humans. 🌊 Why It’s Unique: • Science magic: Mineral-rich waters + sunlight = permanent emerald hue (like Caribbean seas!). • Dog-friendly kayaking (summer only). • 2.5-mile lakeside loop (AllTrails lies—it’s 1.5 hrs with sniff breaks). 🔥 Hot Tips: • Arrive early—BBQ crowds hog picnic spots (smells amazing tho). • No last-minute camping (100+ sites book fast). • Spring/fall = best water color (less algae). #DogFriendlyNY #HikingWithDogs #UniqueLakes #UpstateNY #PupAdventure
