55Beautifully maintained perimeter trail. Great exercise for pups and their humans.
55We regularly visit this Sniffspot, so I was excited to learn they also offer dog sitting. I left Maple, Bear, and Flurry in their care, and they did an amazing job with all three. Flurry was only on day four of recovering from his neuter, and they made sure he was comfortable and didn’t overdo it. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were safe and well cared for. We will definitely use them again!
55 Very nice place! Easy to find! Owner very welcoming, for our first visit she met us at the parking area to give us information on the spot. My beagles loved it! Lots of old Logs to sniff! There is a very nice trail that goes all the way around the property! We were able to leisurely walk the trail twice in one hours time. There is a small section along the property line with some old barbed wire fencing, but as long as you are aware of your surroundings it’s no problem! We will definitely be back again!
55Absolutely beautiful. Price is amazing for the spot. Be prepared for bugs. Extremely shaded.
55This is such a great spot where you feel like you’re immersed in nature. They have cleared paths to walk on so you always know where you’re at on the property. The owner gave us a quick tour at the beginning, and talked about the wildlife they often see. There’s a picnic table by the parking spot which was great for when we needed a quick rest and water break. The spot is very private!
55Every visit has been a great experience. My three Labs always leave happy and tired after exploring the trails and running through the woods. I love how quiet and secluded the property is. It’s a great place to let your dogs be dogs and enjoy nature without all the usual distractions. The walking trail is a nice bonus, and the property is always well maintained. We always have a relaxing time and will definitely be back again. 🌲🍃🐛
55Beautiful great spot for our pup to sniff
55It was great and our dogs had a blast! It was buggy but the sniff spot owner gave us a heads up and advised we bring bug spray.
55Great little hike trail through the woods! Perfect if you have a reactive dog and don’t want to worry about bumping into other people/dogs! Recommend bringing bug spray!
55This was such a fun spot! 1/2 mile trail through gorgeous woods that has plenty for dogs to sniff! Be careful for ticks! The host was so lovely and kind and helpful. Would highly recommend!

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

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.

Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat | 5-Acre Nature Escape

Partially Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near Battle Creek, just minutes from I-94 & McKnight. This is still undeveloped farmland, roughly the size of a city block, tucked into the suburbs, with rolling hills, mature trees, wooded trails, open field space, wildlife scents (ton of bunnies!), and a very different feel from a typical backyard spot. Dogs get room to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from crowded dog parks, while hoomans can relax in the shade or bring family for a picnic. For history buffs, the property also has the only standing barn in Maplewood, built in 1896 and still in use. QUICK 30-MIN VISITS are great for pups who just need to burn energy, stretch their legs, or take a potty break. The main fenced play area is approx. 60 x 100 ft, with room for off-leash play, fetch, zoomies, a 7-ft spring pole, and the NEW Pup Parkour Platform for climbing, balancing, confidence-building, and play. Lots of balls, frisbees, tug ropes, and poop bags available. Water play includes a popular splash pad, bathing sprayer with doggie shampoo, and a fancy lawn sprinkler with settings for pups who love “eating water” lol! Parking is right next to the gate, with shaded seating and a hammock for the hoomans too -- sometimes suspiciously comfortable. Please remember, you did bring a dog ;) For 30-min visits, please use the fenced area only. The spot is largely SELF-SERVE. Water play should be on and ready when you arrive; please turn ALL water off when it’s not being used and before you leave, since I may not always be home to monitor it. I may or may not come out to say hi depending on my work schedule, so don’t wait for me -- just come in and enjoy your visit. I keep app notifications on and am good about responding, so message me anytime if you have a question or need something. For the FULL MAPLEWOOD FARM EXPERIENCE, I recommend booking 1–2 hours. Explore the fenced area, then head through the back gate for a slower long-leash walk through the wooded trails, around the barn and house, and toward the open field. There are also a couple trolley lines for semi-free roaming; the longer one runs over a road trail. Trolley attachments may be at either end of the line, so check both ends if you don’t see one right away. Signs and a property map in the photos help guide you, but feel free to explore and take whatever route suits you. My pups stay inside during reservations. Occasionally, I may be working in a designated area between the house and barn, mostly out of sight. Any active work area will be coned off -- just give it a little space. This is a natural, dog-friendly space with a manicured feel -- part private dog park, part little nature retreat. Dogs are welcome to explore, climb on logs and wood-chip piles, sniff around, chew or pull on branches, and dig -- even inside the fenced area. I’m not precious about the landscape here, esp since the property may be developed next year. While it’s still here, I want our furry friends to have it and enjoy it. Foster dogs and dogs with physical or sensory challenges are welcome for a steep discount. The spot is open pretty much anytime from early morning to midnight, so you can book around your dog’s energy, the weather, or your own schedule. LED night lights make evening visits easy, and nighttime can be much cooler for pups on hot days. Bug spray available. Supervised campfire use available -- privately message me. As a dog lover and builder, I pay attention to how pups actually use the space and keep adding small improvements and enrichment features as I go. The newest addition is the Pup Parkour Platform -- strongly built from logs and sawn lumber, with ramps, balance beams, climbing surfaces, and colorful stepping stumps for pups of different sizes and confidence levels. Your feedback is im-paw-tant to me! 🐾 🐾 Valeng and paw friends 🐾 🐾

Furry Friends 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Oasis In Woodbury

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Great open space for all dogs and humans. We have a full acre fenced and then have a whole front/side yard partially fenced, with gate access from the 1 acre. We have 4-5 feet of woods the dogs can roam through. We are currently working on making a trail through the woods so you can go on the adventure with your pup. There is a kiddy pool, with towels to dry off, a dogo splash pad. There are 3 water drinking bowls throughout the yard for the dogs. We have some toys for kids and dogs. We have doggie first aid if needed. We have chairs out for the humans so plenty of seating. We have Umbrellas as well if need for sun or shade. Hose is always accessible to guest. Unfortunately right now M-F 6-3pm there is construction happening behind the property, out of owners control sorry.

"Fully fenced in yard, lots of room to run around. Toys and fresh..." more
