55This was our first time using Sniffspot and we were unsure of how it would go, but a quick message to the host and we were well on our way! The location is just as scenic as it's described and looks just like the photos. It is hilly with tall grass which adds to the aesthetics. But, I'm glad we wore our hiking boots. Our dog had a great time exploring. We also loved the big oak tree as it provided a nice shade for us to sit and relax. Overall and it did not disappoint! G V.

55This is such a relaxing little chunk of land. I brought my 20 ft lead, I wouldn’t trust my dog off leash here. One side backs up to the road and the rest is surrounded by the river. There are some inclines and uneven spots but an easy walk overall! My pup had so much fun exploring everything. Impressed it wasn’t that muddy considering all the recent snow melting. I’ll definitely be back! ❤️Alyssa B.

55Another awesome adventure in the books! My pup loved exploring the water and making her way through the bushes and trees. Can’t wait to go back! Could hear some dog barking in the distance and a few neighbors walking past on the road but they were not directly in our line of sight. Lots of birds, dragonflies, and we even saw a swan! Alyssa B.

55We had a lovely time exploring this spot. It was really quiet and peaceful for the most part. My dog had a great time and did get a chance to jump in the water since it was quite warm today. I would love to come back and bring Georgie's best doggy friend to enjoy this. The spot was clean and just slightly smaller than I expected but still great overall. We did hear dogs barking in the distance and did see a few people walking on the road but you can only see them at certain sections of the sniffspot. My dog is reactive to strangers so I was a bit worried but I kept her on a long leash and had control if I needed to redirect her. The only real concern I had was when we were getting ready to leave, another truck drove by really slowly and stared at us. I did read another review that stated a neighbor had appeared at the location to see why they were parked there. I've been to other locations that did have a Sniffspot sign posted- maybe that would deter neighbors from approaching others in the future? Michele C.

55Beautiful spot to run, swim in the creek and get muddy. We had a really great time. We saw A fair amount of waterfowl. Bring a long line if your dogs recall isn’t great because one side of the property is right next to a dirt road and not fully fenced in with a tree line barrier. We went on a Sunday at noon and only saw 2 cars drive by though. It is quiet and peaceful with lots of nature sounds. Worth the 40 min drive from Detroit.Bridget T.

55This Sniffspot was easy to find . Good instructions were left on the gate. There is also a bungee tie to further secure it. Poo bags and dog cookies are available and there is a chair.You can park right by the gate to go in . It was a great place for my dog, who has high anxiety, to run and be stress-free. Also a good spot to reinforce not barking at distant restaurant workers or dogs somewhere across the side street. I felt safe here and we’ll definitely return. Debra G.

55I did not get to experience this location yet but I will 100% be booking again. I made a mistake with my booking and reached out to the host to let them know I wouldn’t be coming but it was too late to cancel. They suggested I reach out to Sniffspot anyway for a refund and Sniffspot came in clutch for both of us! I’m looking forward to booking with your spot again soon! Hannah H.

55Easy to find, secure area, flat lot, and must have relatively good drainage because it wasn’t that muddy after rain the other day. Appreciated the chairs and dog treats! Already planning our next trip back. Alison F.

55Large, beautiful, and well kept space for our pup to run around and take in plenty of smells. Easy to find. Even after a bunch of rain the fenced in area wasn’t overly muddy (great drainage). Fence was high enough and secure all the way around. Will be returning if we’re welcome to! Our boy had a blast.Holly J.

55This spot worked out perfectly. We were able to get in and out without any issues. Although we brought our own, there were treats, balls, and poo bags available to us. The area was secured and fenced completely. My big boy enjoyed running free and chasing the balls. I’m sure we will be back.Kelly E.

55Easy in and out. Relatively dry and completely puddle free, despite it
raining all day the previous day. A couple chairs on site was a nice touch. Bobby P.

55We had so much fun! This was our second Sniffspot adventure and it went so much better than the first location we tried. Dakota had so much space to sniff and run. The lawn chairs and treats were really thoughtful as well. We will definitely back again😊connie c.

55Love bringing my pup to this spot! Plenty of space to throw a frisbee and run around. It is always well kept and has a few extra amenities like a treat jar, waste bags and a couple of chairs with a small table! Breanna W.

FAQ about our South Lyon 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the South Lyon area are 5 stars.
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 299 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 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.
