55Our family of dogs had a real blast! Super spacious and a very secured in area for the dogs! The goats were really cool and fun to see! The host also is super kind and had a huge water dish for the dogs, along with really nice table with different things you could use while your there. The signs were super easy to follow and parking was plenty spacious. Highly highly recommend this spot! It’s super beautiful and your dogs will love it!☺️Sarah H.

55It was so great! My dogs were in heaven! We brought our 2 large dogs and two small foster dogs. The foster dogs could definitely fit through most of the fencing if they wanted- but luckily they wanted to be near us. My reactive 1 year old pup barked incessantly at the goats, which are large, not small. I was fully expecting him to bark at them but I was still annoyed with him. I think I’ll check next time if I’m able to close the gate to the goats when I’m there. My kids absolutely loved it! There were walking trails and chairs and even a tent. They loved feeding the goats as well. Overall, extremely pleased and we’ll definitely return!Heather J.

55Absolutely amazing! Super easy to find, very nice signs, and the loveliest wooded area. The goats were an awesome bonus - as well as the basket of goodies like bug spray. It was much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back!Cat M.

55Such a fun and thoughtfully-cared for sniffspot. The land was beautiful, easy to find, and full of adventurous choices for my dogs. They loved walking the trails with us, watching the goats, and running through the brush. The host provided a full water bowl for the dogs, lots of toys, dog treats, goat treats, a dog towel, bottled water for us, and sunscreen and bug spray. The mosquitos were pretty present on the trail (to be expected) but weren’t bad up near the goats. It was quiet, clean, and so fun! We will definitely be back! keithlee s.

55My dog wasn’t to sure about the goats but they kept their distance and theirs a fence in between. It was his first time ever seeing live stock which was a cool experience to see! He loved running around and sniffing things! 10/10 sniffspot!Logan A.

55Loved this spot! Had treats for the dogs and goats! Water set out, poop bags, everything you could need! We went in the evening and there were tiki torches lit and he even offered to light a fire for us! Perfect for off leash training!! We will be going back for sure! Rebecca G.

55Thank you so much for sharing your property with us townhome-dwellers! Nova had a GREAT time exploring and visiting with the goats, and we appreciated all of the amenities for people, dogs AND goats!
There was plenty of fresh water for Nova and she loved the crunchy treats. Thank you so much for fencing off the pond area at the bottom of the property; Nova would have jumped right in there without a second thought. I can't wait to bring a group of friends here to enjoy a canine social.
FYI to lowered cars- it is a long dirt road and the route is a bit bumpy at times. The generous parking area is in a mowed area. Tanya M.

55Easy to find and great directional prompts to the Sniffspot parking and entrance! Daniel has definitely gone out of his way to welcome guests to his ranch with signs, notes, water, treats, and toys. My dog loved to run the trails and there were a few grassy areas to play fetch. Lots of spots along the trail for humans to sit and rest and enjoy nature. The goats were adorable, very curious and friendly. My dog just kept barking at them, so I kept him distracted by exploring other areas of the ranch. Great spot, we will be back.Laurie T.

55What an excellent experience! I am not sure who had more fun - the humans or the dog. Secure fence, mowed/mulched path and wooded areas for romping. Heard the neighbor dog for just a minute when we pulled up. Owner provided treats, water, toys, bug spray, sunscreen and wipes. The goats were super fun as were the hammocks, tree swing and tent. If I could give this Sniffspot a 10, I would. We will definitely be back.Cheryl M.

55Such a fun space with social goats once tempted with some yummy treats! Enough of a trail to loop around a time or two before relaxing in the sun on one of the many seating options. Will come back!Lindsey H.

55This sniffspot is a little slice of heaven! We moved to Minneapolis into an apartment in March. It’s been a big change from having our own backyard for us and our dog. My son and my dog loved running around wild while my wife and I enjoyed the hammocks. We will be back as soon as possible. Christian H.

55We had the best time at this ranch Sniffspot!!! I had hoped to give out city pup, Ranger, some more country experiences and safe off leash play for so long and now I finally can. The host is so thoughtful to supply so many amenities, too! He's really thought of everything. I felt very safe knowing Ranger wouldn't get out of the enclosed space. I can see how small dogs could though so keep that in mind! We will definitely be back!!!Jaell L.

55Love coming here to escape the loud city life. I can fully relax knowing my dog is secure in the fencing, and no other dogs can approach us. Daniel even wrote us a handwritten thank you card for supporting his sniffspot- that was so thoughtful! 😊 🐕Marianna L.

55So much fun. We were a bit nervous about how our reactive dog would deal with the goats. She wasn’t a big fan but it was easy to redirect her with so much other things to explore. Both of our dogs had a blast and we had a good hike around the area trying to keep up with the dogs. We will definitely be coming back. Jamie C.

55Such a great Sniffspot. Duggan Ranch has thought of it all. The goats, the treats, the pathways, the stops along the way, the adventure! Both of our pups (15 months old and 14 weeks old) had a wonderful time. We will recommend this for sure and can’t wait to be back. Sara S.

FAQ about our Lake Crystal dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lake Crystal area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 8 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
