55Just as good as the first time we went! I missed the turn again because the hipcamp sign only faces one direction, but was able to recognize we missed it before we were too far away!Courtney B.

55I wasn’t expecting to visit Alton’s farm twice in one weekend, but it snowed and I couldn’t resist letting my dog romp in the snow in a location I could trust!
I was a little apprehensive about getting to the sniffspot with fresh snow covering the bumpy trail, but we made it! As long as you are cautious and experienced in off-roading in your vehicle, that little stretch off the dirt road to the sniffspot shouldn’t be an issue.Courtney B.

55Another good time at Alton’s farm! Wanted to take the dog to burn off some energy after work but because it was getting dark I was hesitant on where to take him. So glad I could take him here and play in an area I felt safe in. Courtney B.

55Beautiful spot! So much space to run around and play fetch. Beautiful views! We walked for an hour and didn’t even get close to the other side of the property. Meredith R.

55This is such an awesome and worry-free place to take the dogs! We had a great time! The amenities with the vault toilet and picnic tables near the gate are an absolute bonus- book some extra time to hang out, eat a snack and enjoy the views. You won’t find a gem like this anywhere else! Thank you for sharing your land with us, Alton!Kristen N.

55Google maps made it a little difficult to find. The turn (off Moccasin) is just a road north of Gowan(where Google maps thinks you should turn)
Once we found the place, It was nice to meander through the fields and take in the views and not worry about our dogs being off leash. They had a frolicking good time! Will do again!Athena C.

55It was a little hard to find with no clear signs pointing to the campground after the initial turn but we made it!! I would not recommend in the winter if you don’t have 4WD as the campground road was not plowed by our 11:30am appointment. There wasn’t any heads up about this and we had to drive up some hills in quite a bit of snow. My 4wd suv made it up no problem. The property itself was wonderful and having the entire place to ourself was a relief for my dogs! Lots of spots to roam and run! I would also note that your dog isn’t complete secure in the property so good recall or a leashed walk is important! Overall super pleased with the spot and privacy and will definitely be back!

55We had a great time romping around the fields and playing fetch. Very open and pretty. Also liked that the bathroom was open this time of year. We even saw a few eagles. We will definitely be back! Ellie W.

55So nice to have a place close to Missoula where my sometimes reactive dog can run off leash and we don’t have to worry about running into people. We spent an hour and walked out and back and saw only a small part of the property. Looking forward to doing a longer visit next time. Pretty views and easy walking on a flat dirt road. Kelsey D.

55Wonderful spot! Pretty intense sun, but we had a blast. Nice walk on a single track dirt road! Take note, if you have a long haired dog… you’ll have to pluck lots of little burrs off hahaAlly R.

55Came up the Mullan entrance and was easy to find with the well-explained directions! There wasn’t enough water to romp in, but it was a very pretty trail that went around the property and led up to the main field.
Lots of room to sniff, run, play, and train! Really was good to train our dog to recall of distractions (cattle)! 1.5-2hours is perfect to play and explore the entire property!Taylor P.

55We had a great time walking the spacious land. It was a joy for my pup. He tired out pretty quickly! I loved seeing him being able to roam freely and safely. We will be back when in Missoula again. Thank you for offering your farmland to the community. I hope people respect it :) Andrea M.

55Just as good as the other dozen times I’ve been here, it’s one of our favorite spots! With the weather warming up I usually prep with extra water and cooling gear since the area is so exposed to the sun, but there was a lovely breeze today!
We did come across a jeep with two men and a dog while we were out on the property. This threw me off because I don’t usually expect to see other people while we’re out since we use this area to relax and not have to worry about other people/dogs. We left a little early today but hope to book again sometime this weekend to enjoy the spot some more!Courtney B.

55Stunning views and seemingly endless fields for the dogs to run. We weren’t able to locate the water station, so make sure you bring some water for your pups. They’ll be pretty thirsty by the end.Sarah S.

55This is such a great spot for my german shepherds! We do regular walks here now and it’s enjoyable for me too. Lots of bird watching opportunities along the creek and no worrying about other people or dogs crossing paths. Some livestock in the far distance at the beginning of the property but the ground squirrels are usually more exciting for my pups and it keeps them from showing too much interest. 10/10, will be back again lots!August P.

FAQ about our Missoula 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.
