45Great spot! The entrance was a bit confusing with the no trespassing/private property signs and no Sniffspot signage. Luckily, I checked the review photos beforehand and found it quickly. Overall though our 4 dogs had a blast. Thanks for letting us come out!
55This is a beautiful spot along the Monacasy River, our boy enjoyed all the new smells’
55So many good sniffs. We got wet and muddy and had so much fun!
55Absolutely fantastic spot! My boys had a BLAST! 💥 If you’re like me and miss the note telling you where to go, I’ll mention it here- there is a grassy spot just up their gravel lane on the right. If you get to the house, you went too far. The grassy trail to the river is wide and obvious once you’re parked. The incline is moderate, and you’ll need to be able-bodied to navigate the terrain in some areas by the river. I was glad to be in waterproof trail shoes. It can be muddy, so sandals are not a good choice. I saw one abandoned flipflop on the trail… The trails are nicely cleared (enough but not too much!). I take my boys to Sniffspots for their enrichment, not my own hiking exercise, and I found there was plenty of trail for them. My whippets sprinted back and forth on the trails and splashed like maniacs in the river to cool off. They got dirty, they got smelly, they had a GREAT time. If your dogs have decent recall and they like water, this place can’t be beat. I’m so, so, so grateful that there are people in the world who share their space like this with other people and dogs. Honestly, I tear up in gratitude. 🙏 Thank you, Les & family! My noodle dogs will be back!
55Our dogs had so much fun playing in the water! We will definitely be back. Thank you again!
55Loved this spot!
55The river was very scenic and beautiful! It was incredibly quiet; we saw no other dogs or people. It was so peaceful! There is a little waterfall directly across the river 😍
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.

Storybrook Farm 114 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Damascus

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.

Over 10 acres with a pond in the middle. There are two paddocks that are fenced in for the horses. Now I can keep the Sniffspot area separate from where the horses graze. Home to various wildlife.
