55This spot is great! It was our second time here. A lot of great acreage with clearly marked trails, very easy to keep the dogs occupied the whole time. Hosts were great as always, water left out for the pups, and doggy bags and a trash can were nice to have to. Other than the entrance to the property it's pretty much fully fenced. Will definitely be back again!Sean B.

55My dog had a great time at Poppy's Play Prairie. He tired himself out in the first minute running around the bird coop. The spot had numerous trails that we walked and we were able to find some open space for a game of fetch too. Katie left some water out for us and had some poop bags we could use too, which was very nice. Marina N.

55Such a gorgeous place. The dog boys absolutely loved it and would have went just for a ticket to the pheasant show. I appreciated the fencing along the property lines, the well worn paths, map and great hospitality. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to let your dog stretch their legs and just be a 🐕 for a little while with no worries they'll run away or encounter another dog. Jill R.

55Wonderful spot! Lovely mix of wood and prairie. Plenty of space for my dog to explore. Host provided a very helpful map and branches were laid in the woods to help delineate the path. Will definitely come back.Sarah K.

55Amazing experience - our dogs had a blast running through the trails and playing on the little bridge. The land is beautifully wooded, the trails well marked - and they had thoughtful additions like clean water and a place for poo-bags at the end for our well-tuckered out pups. Jane G.

55This was one of our favorite sniff spots! It felt like an actual hike with some elevation gain. We will definitely be back!!
Tip: After parking by the detached garage, the path will be on the left side. The path then hangs left and goes uphill. Claire A.

55The property is mostly fenced with the only open area being the driveway entrance. I typically stick to fully fenced spots but I decided to give this one a try and I am glad I did! It was beautiful and expansive and I felt safe with my dogs and they had a blast. I chose to leash my dogs when near the driveway entrance just to be safe, but felt totally comfortable with them off leash the rest of the time. The host was very communicative and accommodating! I'll definitely be back! Ellie B.

55We visited for the first time and the trees on the property were just popping fall colors, which makes the place even more beautiful. Our cavaliers loved running around freely. I would say the property is secure despite what Katie said partial fencing. Its so quiet and clean. Humans and 4 legged alike will definitely enjoy the trails. Katie greeted us and gave helpful instruction. Definitely worth our drive. Maybe next time we would love to have playmates at a longer booking. Thanks for sharing your space. Ingrid C.

55This spot was fantastic. There are multiple trails that all loop throughout the property. We used the opportunity to get some really nice pics with our kids and dogs since the colors are so vibrant right now. We will definitely be back. I hope this stays open this winter, it'll be a great spot to go and snowshoe with my dogs. Andria B.

55This property is absolutely beautiful and has well maintained trails. My dog was completely mentally satisfied after all the endless sniffing opportunities and areas to explore. It's also a great work out for pup and human. Hope to go back before the snow starts this season. Tracy T.

FAQ about our Saint Clair dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Saint Clair area are 5 stars.

You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
