55Very peaceful wooded area. Well marked to keep you on the right trail. Spooky decorated for Halloween!!
55Beautiful place! Decorated for Halloween which was a nice touch
55Our dogs loved it. So did we. It was a beautiful day.
55This was a great spot! We did several laps of the trail and my dog had a great time! It’s wooded and pretty secluded with plenty of space for your dog to roam and explore!
55Perfect fall day walking around, did the trail twice and they loved it. They were seeking out all the black cats to ensure they were fake, so cute and fun.
55We had a great time! The Halloween decorations were a fun touch 🙂 our foster dog had a blast romping in the woods!
55Beautiful spot in the woods and well marked trails. Great communication from the hosts. Can’t wait to go back.
55Beautiful area with a well marked trail. The dogs and I had a great time!
55We had an absolute blast here and will definitely be back! It’s easy to find and just a very cool area. There is a beautiful trail lining the perimeter, which is extremely well-marked. The host is setting up super cute decorated areas for Halloween, which adds to the fun. Clean and even though it was raining while we were there, didn’t get that wet as there is dense tree canopy above. Beautiful place to bring pups!
55Nice wooded trail

Welcome to our private 10-acre wooded Sniffspot — a peaceful, secluded retreat for dogs and their people 🐾🌲Our property sits far off the road at the end of a 600-foot driveway, offering exceptional privacy, quiet, and safety. Once you arrive, you and your dog can relax and enjoy the space without traffic noise or close neighbors.The land features a cleared walking trail just over half a mile long that loops around the perimeter — perfect for leashed walks, sniffing adventures, or an easy jog. The woods are rich with wildlife, and it’s common to see deer, fox, pileated woodpeckers, and warblers along the way.There’s plenty of room for fetch, roaming, and relaxing, with chairs, benches, tables, and fresh water available for dogs. Families are welcome — we also have a swing set for children to enjoy while pups play.This space is ideal for dogs who love nature, need room to explore, or simply benefit from a safe, private environment to run and sniff at their own pace.

4-Acre Private Fenced Dog Park — Run, Explore & Sniff! Looking for more than a typical dog park? Give your dog the chance to enjoy a private, 4-acre fenced country adventure with plenty of room to run, explore, sniff, and just be a dog! Our property offers a mix of open cleared areas, mowed trails, natural meadow, mature trees, and shaded areas. Whether your dog wants to race around doing zoomies, play fetch, follow an interesting scent down a trail, or simply wander and investigate, there’s plenty to discover. What you’ll find: Approximately 4 fully fenced acres Mowed trails through natural vegetation Large cleared areas for running, fetch, and play Shaded areas beneath mature trees A sitting area for humans while the dogs explore Lots and lots of interesting smells! A private alternative to crowded public dog parks A True Country Experience This is a natural rural property—not a manicured city dog park. Wildlife is common here, including deer, pheasants, gophers, and other small animals. Our own dogs frequently surprise a pheasant hiding in the grass, so dogs that love using their noses will have plenty to investigate. Because we maintain much of the acreage in its natural state, you’ll encounter tall grasses, native vegetation, burrs, seeds, uneven terrain, and changing conditions throughout the seasons. Gophers are also very active here, which means there are gopher mounds and holes throughout the property. Please watch your footing while exploring, and consider whether the terrain is appropriate for dogs or people with mobility concerns. We recommend doing a quick paw and coat check for burrs before heading home. Perfect for dogs who love to explore, dogs who need room to RUN, or anyone looking for a peaceful and private alternative to the traditional dog park. Four fenced acres. No crowds. Lots of sniffing. Come explore the trails, enjoy the country, and let your dog have an adventure!

Rice Creek Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1.3 acres

NOTE: we will be cleaning and storing away the agility equipment for the winter season starting in September. The agility equipment displayed are only available during the summer months. A large, open 1.25 acre fenced in yard with multiple small hills that is bordered on the west side by a public walking trail (with 6 foot fence) and on the north side by Rice Creek (with 5 foot fence). Note that the creek is not directly accessible from the Sniffspot. During the winter months, deer and foxes pass just outside of the fenced in yard, while in warmer months the creek entices additional wildlife as well as the occasional canoeist or kayak. Agility equipment pictured are available during the warmer months and are not available in the winter. There's abundant street parking as we are located at a dead-end. Please do not park in the driveway. Enter the yard using the gate located to the left of the garage.

My backyard is almost 1 acre of fully fenced fun! Conveniently located, easy parking. Low visibility of other dogs or people. Tons of room to run and sniff! *Water is on. Read below for instructions.* The water is usually left ready to go, but the spigot on the side of the house is left off. To use it, open the valve on the side of the house by the driveway. Make sure the diverter that faces the backyard is open. When you leave, please shut it off again, it tends to drip otherwise. Thanks!
