55Great place for doggos to play in the water, ours wouldn't stay out🤣
45Had a wonderful day at this sniff spot with my dog and husband. Would go back again. The water feature is the main attraction and is great for dogs to wade in or swim. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is that while the property was listed as 13 acres there wasn’t a lot of usable space to hike/ walk. My dog likes the water but prefers long trail walks, which we weren’t able to do with the grass being so long in some areas. Overall it was a great experience, and if your looking for a mostly water attraction for you dog, I would book it !
55Great spot for a private swim day! There was lots of access to shallow water as well as deeper water for the dogs to swim.
55Great area for the for the dogos to run and play. The river was the best. My dogs had a blast. Glad there’s still great people that allow our dogs to enjoy the river and very reasonable in price. We will definitely come back. Very clean area. Small piece of heaven for the dogs.
55Enjoyed the river and wooded trails!
45This was a great place. One thing of note is that the easiest access point to the river is very close to a public access point. There was a few instances where we ran into people, but thankfully there were no other dogs. The more private spot did not have any people near it, but it was a little harder to get to.
55This isn’t long trail walking if the human doesn’t have the right shoes but the river access is fantastic and our dogs had a great sniffari on the trail.
45Great spot! My dogs loved running through the muddy areas, especially. The trail from where you park to right above the water is well maintained. We had to be a little creative to reach the water but still manageable! It’s the woods; you can’t expect plants not to grow. A fun little adventure!
55Come back again for a swim! Brought some more doggy friends and they all had so much fun😆
55The dogs had so much fun. It was great to allow them the space to roam freely and run. Host sent descriptive instructions ahead of time which made it easier

Unfenced
114 acres

We’re excited to share our farm with you and your pups! Our 114-acre property is something really special—rolling fields, shaded wooded trails, and ponds where dogs can swim and play freely. It’s peaceful, private, and incredibly beautiful in every season. We’ve tried to think of all the little details to make your visit easy and enjoyable, including trail maps with distances, fresh drinking water for both you and your dog, towels for muddy paws or wet fur, and easy parking on asphalt. We’re dog lovers ourselves and have two rescue pups who will be safely secured inside our home during your reserved time so you can enjoy uninterrupted access to the property. Whether you’re here for a long walk or just to let your dog run wild, we hope it feels like your own private retreat.
