    "Eskaton has great dog paths, it's a retirement community in Placerville and very quiet and friendly. For the most part people pick up their dog doo but occasionally you get a few bad apples. But that's anywhere I think. Overall, the community has a lot of different diverse walking paths with poop poles strategically placed. "

    "It’s a great place, as long as dogs are on a leash it should not be a problem. There is a lot of land and plenty of walking trails for dogs. The only negative thing I can think of as far as being a dog owner would be that they will be up all night...............they’re young!"
