55Wow!!! We just got back from this breath taking piece of paradise. Needless to say the dogs are all fast asleep, and will most likely remain that way all day. Martin is a fantastic host sending information about weather and ground conditions prior to our arrival, and then greeting us upon arrival with a map. Parking at entrance of trails. Lots of signs guiding you thru the property. On the trails were absolutely beautiful surroundings, enhancing this walking experience for dogs and owners. Many trials with ample space for dogs to explore off leash in a safe environment. The diverse terrain found provided a good workout for the dogs but the trails were not difficult and would be suitable for dogs and people of all ages. The dogs loved the fresh water from the creek. A perfect way to start off the day! Thank you so very much Martin.
55Entrance was very easy to find and accessible. The trail was nicely maintained, we were able to leisurely walk and complete the walk in our hour booking. It was a beautiful day and our dog loved walking a new area!
55We had a wonderful time today on the trails. The dogs enjoyed rushing through the bushes and swimming in the creek! Thank you so much!
55This spot was absolutely beautiful and extremely well kept! Our little guy had the best time ever roaming free without any distractions. There is so much to see in an hour and it is so peaceful we want to do it twice next time! Thank you very much we will absolutely be back :)
55Always a great visit! We’ve been eagerly awaiting autumn and the departure of the bugs, so today’s visit was extra delightful. Trails are clearly marked and well maintained, as always.
55Really enjoyed our visit, the dogs found lots to explore. In an hour we managed to do most of the main trails twice. Look forward to coming back to watch the fall colours come in
55Piper and Lily had a great time exploring!
55Well maintained trails, hosts were very nice.
55Great spot, will definitely be back!
55We had a great time again! Love that the trails and well maintained. We had no problem pushing a Bob stroller

Our road is on a popular cycling route and you may hear cyclists, but that's quite rare. Occasionally on Wednesdays and Sundays you can hear practice shooting at a gun club which is a half mile away.

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

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.
