55Great spot! Mowed paths, water, poo bags (because of course my dog pooed when I wasn't expecting her to and of course I grabbed the wrong leash with no bag), lots of hills but great workout for both myself and the dog!Lisa W.

55My family and I really enjoyed this spot! The area is hilly with mowed paths and lots of chances for our dogs (and us) to get some exercise. There was also some fresh water and poop bags. We had a great time!Claudia N.

55My pup had a fun time! Very beautiful land! The paths are well cleared. Very peaceful and tranquil. One suggestion would be to provide a trash bin for poop bags. I didn’t see one, but maybe I missed it. 🙂Michelle M.

55This was our first visit here and Katie met us and explained the trail system at her property here. The trails were easy to follow and so fun to hike around. It’s a gorgeous spot and it felt like we were at a regional park or something but without worry of other people or dogs. With a reactive dog that is such a huge deal and we’re very grateful for spaces like this! Conway LOVED sniffing around in the snow and we saw tons of signs of wildlife, so I bet he was getting a lot of mental stimulation for the 1.5 hours we were there. Highly recommend this Sniffspot! Thank you again, Katie!! 😊🐶Lauren J.

55Lydia had a great time!! Although there is minimal fencing, the tree line provides a nice barrier. This location is much larger than other spots on Sniffspot—plus very scenic. Would highly recommend!Danielle H.

55Been here twice now and a hit with my dogs both times!! It was a challenge with snow, which is our choice due to go right after a foot snow storm, but my dogs LOVED jumping through the snow. Now we’re all tired. They love the chance to have freedom and all the new smells. I would highly recommend. Here are some smiling pup photos to show how much fun they were having! RAchel L.

55Was worried that it would be difficult to walk with all the recent snowfall but there was a walkway created for easy access. Katie also offered her snow shoes for me to use which was very nice. Overall Lydia and I had a great time!Danielle H.

55Great property to let your pup run and explore. People themselves can enjoy the beauty of the wooded outdoors. The hosts are great and very friendly. This is on our list to visit every so often. Jean H.

55Amazing place to hike and run your dog! It is hilly with woods, so we both got some fantastic cardio, haha. We had a sunny day after some melt, so it was icy but still so enjoyable. Katie greeted us and was such a wonderful host. Property is not fully fenced, but if your dog has a good recall/check in, it is so perfect and enjoyable. Definitely will be back!Paige A.

55This place is beautiful and really big. We walked along a trail and the dogs had a blast. There are some forested areas, and some more open areas, and even some benches to sit down. The owners provided water, poop bags, and a garbage can. We will definitely go back. Claudia N.

55To say we loved it is an understatement! We are dog sitting my sisters dogs so to find a spot where they can run,explore and sniff was amazing! Two of our 3 girls are springerdoodles and they will dream about the the tall grass they got to hop around in. I will totally come back with my girl Sgt. Pepper. From the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for making your space a sniff spot! Kelsey B.

55We had a great visit - the host met us on arrival, the land was mostly fenced in and the trails were easy to follow. It’s a very pretty wooded area and my pup was fascinated by the pheasants. I’ll definitely visit again - thank you!Maria D.

55This spot is everything I love about this app! I have a German Shepard that I’d originally hoped to train as a therapy dog for my severely autistic son. Unfortunately, she has a very reactive temperament and a huge fear of other dogs. So we have spent the past year taking classes for fearful and reactive dogs and working with a behavioral vet and she really is doing awesome… but it’s hard work! So when we found Sniffspot, it became the perfect way to reward her for all that training. And a way to let her just be a dog, so to speak. It also lets us relax together without having to ‘manage’ the environment. (Anyone who has a reactive dog will know what I mean!)
Without a doubt, this spot is one of the best in the area! Beautiful trails, quiet and peaceful and like being at a public park without the public! We saw a huge woodpecker and enjoyed seeing the hosts’ pheasants. I’m just so grateful for everyone who is willing to host…. We’ve yet to have a bad experience. Leah B.

FAQ about our Waseca 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.
