55This was our first time using Sniffspot and wow this place was amazing. For two retrievers, we got to have zoomies and walk freely in the woods and so many sniff opportunities. One of the pups love sticks so seeing long branches and sticks and dragging them to the hearts content. We will 100% be coming back to visits Marin H.

55A wet day when we visited but the place was wonderful! More trail-oriented rather than a free-open space but my dog loved it regardless! We didn’t see anyone on the public trail which was great as well to be able to explore further! The signs all over the place also helped us navigate what we should be expecting and we really appreciated that. We did hear the owners’ dogs from a distance though it wasn’t that big of an issue, just a bit of a distraction for my boy. Expected the off-leash area to be more open though it can’t be helped if that’s not the case. Regardless, it was nice to have the whole area and trail to ourselves that I felt safe having my boy off-leash the whole time. We really enjoyed our time there and will be visiting again! Thank you!

55Black Pond Farm is gorgeous. It's always at the top of the list of favorites. I am always grateful to the owners for making it available. It has trails for walking, more than one spot to swim, and a big open area for fetch. The owners have done a wonderful job of trying to provide everything you might need, even bug spray.
Photographers will love the many options for stunning photos, including the beautiful stonework wall and castle.
This last visit was the first time we ran into a horse on the trail, which we weren't ready for. Folks with dogs who need to avoid people or might not react well to horses should be on the lookout or message the owner in advance. Lisa M.

55Had a great time and appreciated the tent to shelter us from the rain for a bit while our pup ran around! The towel was much appreciated because of the rain and the water romps :). Hannah F.

55We always love our time at Black Pond Farm! The setting is lush and serene, with so much room for the pups to romp, splash, climb and sniff. We usually head out to the adjacent DNR land too for even more woods to explore. Love it here so much!Aubbie B.

55My dog loves various smells and turns in this lovely trail inside the club zoomies. The place was easy to find and it worked because I needed to have my dog on a leash as he is not supposed to run too much.Priya A.

55This spot is definitely worth the 1.25 hour drive from West Seattle. Yesterday, even more so... We were all joyously surprised to find snow! The dogs thought they were in heaven. We left tired yet somehow also feeling replenished.Aubbie B.

FAQ about our Bonners Ferry 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).

How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 2 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. 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.
