55Easy to find, host provided details and welcome via text. We walked the perimeter, explored near the creek, great exercise spot during our road trip. Towels for wiping paws and a garbage pail were provided, along with chairs. Outstanding experience. Lyn F.

55Great hosts with excellent communication! The dogs are muddy, happy and tired. A few animal carcasses hidden in the woods made the trip even more exciting for them. Will definitely be back!Holly J.

55This was such an awesome sniffspot! My GSD had a blast running around the property off leash, diving into the creek, and playing with the hose. Hosts were fantastic and even provided towels to dry your doggy off after playing in all the water. Would definitely go back! Rebecca L.

55Great time with lots of areas to explore: flat grass area with shade & Adirondack chairs, fields, woods, tall grass areas, and, of course, creek! There are 3 stone steps off the flat, grassy area to get safely into the creek. It has been dry so the creek was probably a little lower than normal but was fine for us & our 150lb Mastiff to get in and wade around in. If you had a small dog, the creek may be a little deep for them but ok right at the base of the steps. Some of the trails may be a little difficult to circumnavigate if you or your dog has difficulty ambulating/unsteady. They cut wide paths to take different trails throughout the property, but some areas would still be a bit high for really small dogs. This is out in fields/wooded areas, so the ground can also be uneven. But small dogs would have no problem in the large, grassy area right at the entrance. We went on a Thursday late morning and didn’t see anyone/any animals which was perfect for our reactive pup. He was a little unsure of the creek at first. Then he gained some confidence & started to splash around & get zoomies IN the creek just to jump out of it and then do zoomies in the large grassy area. The hose and bucket were greatly appreciated to be able to rinse off a bit (us and him) as well. Thank you for providing this unique Sniffspot! monica h.

55Great pitstop on a roadtrip to the Midwest. Plenty of space to run and explore. My girl loved walking around the fields and hopping into the creek. Owners offered a wash off station to clean up after! Holly C.

55Dogs had a great time! The creek has a deep enough spot where dogs actually had to swim so it was wonderful since I did not know if my dog who loves water was an actual swimmer. Deer trails were nice : ) Karley K.

55This spot is absolutely perfect for energetic pups that need some room to run and explore. My pups loved all of it, but the creek was definitely their fave! My pups were wet and muddy and super happy! We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! Lili V.

55Beautiful property with a creek running lengthwise thru it. Trails that border the creek and wind thru the field. Clear directions for parking, hose, seating available. I’ll be honest we only made it 15 minutes on the trails before my two goobers became completely enthralled with the creek. 55 day in March? Don’t blame them. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more!Karen E.

FAQ about our Caledonia 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 Caledonia 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 77 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
