55Quiet, secure, and very enjoyable place. Private entrance with plenty of room for all the zoomies. I did see the neighbors dog while I was there and could hear others barking in the distance but it didn’t affect our stay. Thank you for sharing your space with us! Chelsea S.

55What a fantastic spot!! My dog (who usually only has eyes for his tennis ball) actually ran around, sniffed and explored like a normal dog!!! Heard a little barking from the neighbors but my reactive dog was able to focus on all the delights around him! Thanks for sharing your space!Sarah R.

55Zeus always has a blast here! Only tips for the dog parents: bring a towel, there is sooo much water, Zeus was drenched. And muddy! Also, there aren’t chairs to sit in so prepared to walk around the whole time. This is 10/10 great spot for crazy pups thoKaitlyn T.

55Joey had so much fun frolicking through the tall grass, with cut grass trails for the humans. A little swampy in areas, so definitely be prepared for a muddy-pawed pup by the end. And don’t forget bug spray! Della T.

55This spot is awesome. It feels really big and had cut trails as well as tall grass for our dog to forage in, which she loves. Secure fence and endless worry free zoomies! Nice shade portions too. Melanie J.

55This was our first time checking out this Sniffspot with our 3 pups and we loved it! It’s a beautiful area with some open space and some wooded portions (to cool down on hot days). Our pups enjoyed running through the tall grass and jumping across the mounded areas! There were trails cut in the grass for humans. Lots of colorful flowers and native shrubs! We felt 100% confident with the fencing and saw no other dogs or humans during our visit (which is good for our 2 reactive pups). The host gave us a heads up prior to the visit that it could still be muddy, so we brought some towels just in case. However our pups somehow managed to avoid the muddy areas lol. We all really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back! Thanks Kelly for sharing your beautiful space with us!Amy E.

55A very pretty yard in the mountains. Our Vizsla had a wonderful time running through the tall grass and exploring the area. It is easy walking on the trails that have been set up. The only thing that would have made it better would be a bench to sit on down in the area among the trees. We will definitely return.cheryl b.

55This property is so great! Plenty of room to run, lots of little bridges and paths to explore, and every husky’s favorite: tall grass!
We did not see any other animals, but could hear some barking from the neighbors dog. It wasn’t disruptive enough to bother our reactive dog- he relaxed and had fun with the rest of the crew. Also, the trees are starting to turn gold, so it was very pretty 🍁 🍂 Mallory S.

55This was our 2nd visit and our pups had so much fun! They love running through the tall grass, jumping over the little mounds and other features, and exploring the shaded area in the trees. Two of our 3 pups are reactive (one to people and the other to dogs), but we didn’t see anyone else during our visit. We could hear the neighbor’s dog in the distance, but my pups didn’t seem to notice. This is a safe, secure site with adequate fencing, and you feel like you have the place all to yourself. The host has added some tires and other “obstacles” for your pup to jump over and through (which makes things more interesting!). Golden Gate Canyon SP is located just down the street if you need a restroom. This is a great Sniffspot for our pups! We definitely plan to come back!Amy E.

55So grateful for this fenced mountain dog paradise! I have 2 dog reactive dogs in my crazy husky pack of 5. This sniffspot was so peaceful and private and relaxing. Worth the drive and there was even snow for the dogs to roll around in, they loved it!Lynzy M.

55What a wonderful space! Our dogs loved all the trees, tall grasses and spaces to sniff and run. The owner is incredibly kind and helpful. We even saw some moose from afar (our dogs did not notice them). There were some barking dogs a little ways away but our reactive dogs were not bothered by them. We will definitely be back! Kelly H.

55Easy to find, felt private for the humans and with fresh deep snow it was extra tiring and fun for the pups. Bring snowshoes if you have them! But we just had boots and were fine Anne B.

55This is a beautiful spot to romp with your pup! The host was very responsive and helpful. At booking I told her my dog is very stranger reactive and she made sure we didn’t see or hear them at all- so, so appreciate that!Melissa H.

FAQ about our Black Hawk 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.
