55Awesome fenced in lot with different trails and an open grass space for fetch! I was unable to attend a reservation and the owners gave me a coupon to reschedule with them! Place is well kept and toys are provided, if you don’t bring your own. My pup loved it and I enjoyed walking the mowed trails. Will come back!Shawna H.

55My sighthound loved both the long area of open field for leg-stretching sprints and the wooded trails for new smells and wildlife. We both returned to our hound hauler (minivan) tired and happy. We will be back!Jenny H.

55Great spot for dogs to run around! We walked the paths and the dogs loved getting some good sniffs. We also brought a Chuckit and used the big open field for fetch. Our dogs can be dog reactive, but the spot was so big that the dog kennel near the entrance were not an issue. We'll be back!Sarah S.

55So, so cool! Worth the drive! Dogs can be a little noisy, so if your dogs are reactive, keep that in mind. Beautiful, fun place to take your dogs. Grace K.

55My dog sensitive pitbull mix, Chester, and I regularly visit this location, and have been there in all four seasons. We have a ball! The owners have done such a great job of maintaining the grounds, it must be a lot of work to remove fallen trees from ice storms, etc. on the trails. Really grateful to Michel and Mark for this wonderful relaxing getaway for both of us.Sandy M.

55We are repeat customers and our pup Ellie LOOOOVES this spot. She likes to immediately sprint from the car and gallop down the nicely mowed and maintained pathways. It's a very spiritual experience for us.Nick W.

55Lots of open space to play fetch and let dogs run! Nice wooded and shady trails for walking. There are even little benches to rest on. Fully fenced makes this a perfect spot for reactive dogs or dogs that aren’t bomb-proof. Amanda S.

55This was our fifth(?) time utilizing this amazing piece of land for our pup. We only stayed a short while time because it was really hot and humid that day, but we still enjoyed it just as much as always. Our dog is always SO happy to come here and run around free in the woods and fields. Such a great deal and great hosts! Megan H.

55The owners are so great, and make such an effort to keep the grounds maintained. This is clearly a labor of love with not much financial gain.Sandy M.

55Our dog Molly had a wonderful time at this sniff spot and so did I. Lots of open space to play catch and beautiful wooded areas for walking and exploring. It is Spring and the ground is wet so boots are a must and the road in is also muddy. It is a ways out but worth the drive. Margaret G.

FAQ about our Elk Mound 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Elk Mound 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 13 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
