55What beautiful land. Our 4 pups had so much fun exploring and playing in the water. The host was very friendly and even our oldest pup lit with so much energy from having so much space to sniff around. It was a beautiful hike for my husband and me as well, definitely wear some good shoes haha. I think they very much enjoyed their Christmas present 😄
55Great spot! We had a great day for a hike down to the river. The dogs LOVED sprinting around in the woods and sniffing everything. We ended our time with two very happy and tired pups.
55Luna and woof really get to zooming around! We followed the trail down and then I followed them around the property! We love coming here :)
55Always so much fun! Luna and woof zoomed for 30 mins around the river and through the brush! I had such a good time watching them enjoy themselves! Love the owners :)
55HAPPY ONE YEAR TO WOOF AND I!! We have been coming out since Shila opened! It’s that time of the year folks. Put on your overalls and boots and explore. It’s time to step off the man made path and follow the deer trails (or forge your own way) through the woods! Hangout on the trail while your dog ventures through the brush! This property has so much to offer for your dog; woods, brush, trails, bluffs and the river. Plenty of obstacles for your pup to jump, climb or crawl. This place is truly for the dogs. I can say I enjoy it just as much as woof and Luna when we are all down there together. Woof has 100% freedom to explore, do his own thing and truly follow his wild heart and sniffer! We love being here. I don’t get to see woof rest much in the woods but the last 30 mins we sat on the river and watched the world go by. The vet tech in me wants to let future visitors know that ticks are still alive and biting. I found a few crawling on me and the doggos. Enjoy yourself here and enjoy watching your dog be a dog.
55This trail is so pretty. Lily loved it. It’s a true hike so if your not ok with rocky hill maybe choice something easier. Bring hiking boots that have ankle support and maybe a towel if your dog likes to walk in water. I loved it and will be coming again and booking longer than an hour for sure. The host are so kind and responsive via messenger.
55Woofie and Luna had such a blast! All the leaves are changing. Woof spends all of his time where he cannot be seen 😂 we love being down there with Luna!
55Shila was a fantastic host and has a beautiful property! We are lucky to be able to visit and let the pups roam freely knowing there aren’t other people around. The river was the highlight for my pups and once we hiked down the trail and got to the flatland near the river, we never ventured any further on the trail (I was a little nervous to follow a path any direction as there were multiple off-trails connected to the main and I had a fear of getting lost) but also my pups didn’t want to get out of the water :) easy to find and access the spot and clearly marked up front but once you get to the river, it can be a little confusing for inexperienced hikers like myself with the different paths. We just went straight down the hill and enjoyed the perfect level of water. So peaceful and a great time. I’ve been to a few spots and this one by far has been my favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your space my pups are knocked after 2 hours of play!! :)
55Always such a good time!
55We had a great time! We didn’t actually hike that far — only about a mile in total — but we had tons of fun in the river. I’m excited to come back and explore more in the future.

Location

Dittmer, Missouri

Description

$15 per hour regardless of how many dogs! Step onto the rocky bluff trail and let the forest quiet your mind. Trees, wildflowers, and soft earth surround you as the canopy cools the air and heightens every sense. Your dog explores freely while you breathe in the rich scent of the forest and follow winding paths toward the river. Birds sing overhead, greenery stretches endlessly, and pockets of untouched habitat invite slow, peaceful wandering. Pawpaw trees, milkweed, nettle, honeysuckle and more thrive here, creating a living, breathing escape meant to be felt, not described. Ticks are always a possibility outdoors, but thanks to natural flooding, active birdlife, and low deer presence, they’ve remained minimal. Bug spray is provided, and we welcome private feedback as we continue nurturing a healthy, balanced environment for all who walk here.

Hi thanks for checking out The Woodland Bluffs! Our family is busy coming and going. We have one German shepherd, Luna, who is snoozing in her bed inside during your visit. I’m an RN, Daniels a painter. You may see the boys playing basketball or working on their bikes in the garage from time to time, but once you head down the trail our activities will be out of view. We love the property and river and feel it’s just too beautiful to keep to ourselves. Hope to see you soon!

There are two different fenced in areas. One side is much bigger than the other. When pulling into driveway there will be one of the two gates to access the back yard. One of the gates is a wooden gate (does not latch easy) this is for the smaller fenced in area. If it’s the larger fenced area you want then you will pull into driveway and walk around the garage to the left hand side to where a chain link fence will be to the larger fenced in area. Both areas can be utilized during the time you have booked as well. There’s a chain link fence dividing the two areas with a gate connecting the two yards.
