55We had a wonderful time at Meracle acres, the trails are well maintained and it was absolutely beautiful winding through the woods. Our dog really enjoyed exploring the space including the ponds and beach area. 10/10 would recommend this spot, we can’t wait to come back.Paige H.

55This was our very first Sniffspot and we will 100% be back! Such a peaceful spot with a wonderful little beach as a huge bonus. Astro isn’t scare of water anymore, so I can’t wait for him to be able to enjoy swimming at this spot as well as all the wonderful trails! He was too scared to swim last time. Some of the other bodies of water were not clean enough to allow swimming at least not when I went in April. Highly recommend. Tricia F.

55It was our first time at a Sniffspot, and Meracle Acres is going to be hard to top! Wide, well-maintained trails with plenty of tree cover, which was great for a sunny, mid-afternoon walk. The pond was a great halfway point for the dog to splash around and explore. Next time I’ll be booking at least 1.5 hrs!Kelsey E.

55Beautiful area! I waded into the pond to see if my dog would enjoy swimming (he does not) and then wandered on the many trails. An hour and a half was the perfect amount of time. So much fun to give my boy freedom without worrying about encountering anybody. Lisa A.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
