55My two husky shepherds and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Martin’s property. The trails are well manicured and wide, the dogs loved the marsh, the forest, and the creek to swim in! They had a ball! Thank you so much Martin for generously sharing your beautiful property!
55Such a lovely spot to walk! Will love this in the fall when we can explore a bit more and not worth about the heat. It’s well taken care of and all the trails are marked. The host was great as well offers you a map & bug spray. Can’t wait to come back
55Great place to hike. My dogs had a great time. Groomed trails with a creek to cool off the dogs. We will be back !!
55Martin have us a nice welcome and have us information about his trails when we arrived. The trails are well kept and ready to navigate. There are areas that are more wooded and some that are more sunny. A very pleasant walk with our two dogs.
55We had an incredible time at this SniffSpot! Beautiful trails, helpful signage and maps that you keep you on track, and a welcoming, kind host! Our large breed dog was thrilled to be able to explore and spend some time off leash! We will absolutely be back!
55My dog had a blast! This was our first time using sniffspot and Martin went above and beyond to make sure we were well equipped and even provided a trail map! We will definitely be back :)
55A second fantastic trip to this Sniffspot. Really well maintained, lots to explore.
55This is a favourite of ours! It’s consistently an amazing walk, trails to sniff and my water weary pup found her confidence in the swampy area splashing in the mud! 😂 The trails are incredibly maintained. The host is fabulous! Always checking in and updating on anything in or around the property to ensure that ever visit is 5 stars - there is even bug spray out in case you forget! 💯 recommend! Will definitely be back!
55Trails are very well maintained. The map and trail markers were very helpful. Would recommend this sniffspot!
55Martin's place was great, I just wish we got to see it all. My miniature dachshund has recently recovered from back surgery so we thought giving him all the space to himself would be fun, but the terrain was just a bit to rough for him. Would recommend this place to anyone that wants a leash free and worry free time though.

Description

***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD*** With big wide open trails, forest, marsh, creeks and wildlife, this doggy paradise is attracting visitors from all over southern Ontario. Trail map is found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1do57Iq23GVfcDxiEGihv7dVUWFXBSrGq/view?usp=drive_link Trails are open, mowed and maintained all year long. We host a beekeeper who has about 40 hives on a well-marked and avoidable section of one trail. The bees won't be out until April but please avoid the hives anyway. Read the reviews to get a good sense for what kind of experience you will have. We are grateful for all the positive feedback and pledge to make your experience just as fantastic.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Bee hives on one trail - they don't like small dogs! Easy to avoid, well marked. Bees aren't active in fall and winter, but stay away from the hives anyway. We live out in the country and there are coyotes. They are very shy, and if you stay on or near the trails you will never see them. Avoid dusk or early morning if this is a concern for you. The west side cutover from Meadow to Black Walnut can be up to a foot deep.

I love to ski, so I cut a lot of trails. My dog Teddy is a shy but friendly Shitzu-Poodle mix who likes to go on long walks. Teddy and I are happy to share the trails with other dogs.

Private Dog Park In Waterdown at Goldenwood Acres

***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD.*** **Gate is back up and Fully Fenced as of April 21, 2024** Welcome to Goldenwood Acres! On our 26 acre hobby farm, we have a 6 acre fully fenced farm field/dog park. Ride up and park at the white barn, and walk your leashed puppers to the field past our gardens, woodlots, and ponds. From the barn to the dog park you will get familiar with our surroundings and other fences. There is access to the forest and two ponds on the property. Crossing through the tree line, you have private access to the 6-acre field. Four-foot tall fencing is installed for your security. The best time to come is May to September. Come walk between the sunflower rows that grow up to 10 feet tall in the late summer! We cut the field between the sunflowers, make trails and play spots. We also leave big areas untouched for our honeybees (hives located in the other field). Enjoy seeing natural landscapes, trees, and privacy. Have fun, play catch and let your animal have unleashed freedom! We have uploaded a printable "safety map" for each season, that contains a legend for your use. Note the fire pit is not available during the winter season. Park has one main gate. This season we will also be placing picnic tables with a BBQ for large groups. I recommend booking the summer weekends in advance as they will fill up fast! Fencing Details: The 6-acre Dog Park Field is permanently fenced with approximately 2,500 linear feet of 4’ tall farm fence. The farm fence consists of professionally installed 2” by 4” squares of wire mesh (commonly used for smaller livestock such as sheep, donkey, cows, etc) and cedar posts. If you look at the photos you can see the locations of the gate on the main photo or on “safety map” (see photos and captions). We have more fencing on other parts of the property outside of our dog park in case your dog does not have good recall. Refer to the safety map (see photos). If you have any questions, please let me know.
