35It’s a good place to play with our dogs but due to the dirt/mud, we always have to wash doggy feet/legs and our tennis shoes; so if you can do this without going into your house when you get home then you’ll avoid lots of extra cleaning.
55The woods was definitely wet but the corral was spacious and lots of fun!
35Beautiful property and a great trail.
45Nice piece of property in a thick wooded area on a nice dirt road. I expected a little more from the wooded trails but looked like it had been swamped out maybe? That portion was short but there was still lots of open area to run, sniff and climb on the logs. The property has good signage to instruct you where to go.  Close enough to Brighton Rec area for on leash trails
55Good size space, very quiet. Dog had a great time!
55Awesome enclosed coral lots of room for fetch and to calm down before walking the trails! Our dogs had a blast we will definitely be back!
45Wonderfully peaceful country setting! Fenced in yard and corral offers plenty of good sniffing as well as room for ball/frisbee. Very kind and generous hosts, my furkids had a wonderful visit!

Description

Private totally fenced yard in Brighton State Park. Also empty corral for frisbee or agility training (bring your own equipment). Wooded trail at back of property. Sunny and shaded areas as well as chairs and hammocks. Have fun with your best bud ! *** New guests use promocode "Janet12" at checkout for $5 off your first visit !!! *** FYI... The back wooded area is heavy with rainwater. *Swampy* If you want to go walk back there we suggest rain boots. I'll try to update whenever this happens. *New* free* doggie photo booth area added to front of barn right by corral entrance. Will update to time of year or holidays with decorations. Bench for dogs to sit and pose. Have fun 😊 🐶🐾🐾 ***May12th**" We are currently working on yard cleanup for the spring... Be advised there will be leaves on the grass, and piles of sticks. We will advise when it's completely cleaned up. Meantime, dogs are welcome to play in leaves and sticks!!! So, we've lowered our pricing by $2 until we have it set up with extras and all cleaned up ! Welcome and have an awesome spring 🌼

Hazards

5/12/23 update The woods behind the barn is swampy from all the rain, wear rain boots if you plan on walking that area (300' wide and almost 3 football fields long). from the barn forward we have no standing water FYI: I just had someone complain about water??? Can't do much more besides inform, I will be adding foot wash avail for $3 if it's an issue for you. If you don't want your dogs feet wet than keep on leash in wooded area ( that's what I've always done.)

Dog foot wash$3

After having guest complain about water/mud in woods I am adding a foot wash option. Will include warm water towels and soap

Fire pit with wood$10

A fire pit with wood to burn

    Host replied: Sorry that happened. I do post updates about land outback being wet, and will continue doing. I wear mucks or rainboots and keep my dogs on lead when it's wet. It was an unfortunate thing. If you'd like a free visit on us use code PIP10 for $10 credit on app. You've always been a great guest and this is our way of saying we're sorry. Take care, Jan ( and kodi, ty and Henry) 🐕‍🦺🐕🐩

Hi I'm Jan and am battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and this allows me to pay for my dog food and necessities. I have 3 rescues , Kodi a lab/shepherd mix, Ty is a potcake (island dog from the Bahamas, basically boxer mix), and Henry a shih tzu we adopted when my cousin died a few years ago. Due to the cancer you'll probably never see or hear me or my pups. I'm weak but we really enjoy playing with the dogs in our big yard. Kodi loves chasing frisbees in the corral. Ty loves stealing kodis frisbees. Henry loves barking at both of them. I'm very happy to share our space and toys with other people and their pets. I've also set up a mini obstacle course in front of the privacy fence, will add to it as I can. Hope to make your visit an enjoyable one ! Welcome All 🤗🐕‍🦺🐕🐶🐾

Wynshire Woods Dog Trail In Whitmore Lake

🌳🌲Welcome to Wynshire Woods! 🌲🌳 We feel so blessed to call this property our home, and would love for others to experience the beautiful nature we get to enjoy each day. Wynshire Woods includes over a mile of trails, fallen trees to sniff, hills to climb, and ravines to explore. Our 49 acre property is nestled in the woods, 1/4 of a mile off of the road with parking near our metal barn at the bottom of our driveway. We have over a mile of beautiful trails through hills and trees, with a short and long trail option. The long trail is about a mile long and takes 40-60 minutes to walk. The short trail is closer to 1/3-1/2 miles and takes around 25 minutes to walk. Take a break at the top of the first hill and relax in the hammock, taking in the peaceful nature around you. This is a great spot to bring a snack or picnic! We hope your dog(s) enjoy all the sights, sounds and smells throughout the woods- we have wild turkey, deer, many small wild animals to see, and and have him/her/them go home tired, satisfied and happy. This is a completely unfenced property. We ask that all dogs are leashed or have a training collar for recall, as wildlife and farm animals are abundant on our property. Dogs MUST be safe with free range chickens and ducks i.e. NOT chase/hurt them. Part of the trail does go past our fenced goat area. We do have 4 dogs who are contained to an invisible fence which does not have access to the trails. As long as your dog does not come into their area, there will be no other dog interactions on our property.
