55We had a great time! It's always beautiful here in the fall.
55Always great coming here! So beautiful!
55Awesome spot to let your dog run. Trails are marked and easy to follow.
55Beautiful day for a stroll with the pup!!! Loved the new trail. Love this spot!!!!!!
55Another excellent day walking the trails!!! Such old trees in there it’s amazing. Bruno loves the woods thank you!!!🙏 ♥️
55Lovely morning spent wandering the trails and field on Brian’s property! Peaceful and exactly what we needed
55Beautiful property with lots of space and a nice trail to walk
55Our dogs had a great time!! It gave my lab an opportunity to be off leash, sniff and explore which is so important for dogs. The property was clean and just as described. I just want to note that you are out in the county. With that comes things your dog may not experience. In a distance you could hear someone was enjoying the beautiful day shooting so if your dog is sensitive to that I'd highly suggest keeping your dog leashed. Our dogs could care less and it was not an issue for us.
55My dogs loved this place! We did arrive early in the morning and there were a ton of critters and some deer about so make sure your dog has strong recall, a long line, an ecollar etc. The trail in the woods felt super secluded and peaceful. If we lived in the area we’d definitely be back all the time! But just passing through.
55This spot was so much fun! It was massive and truly felt like a private trail. Great location for training.
