Rent safe and private dog hiking trails hosted by locals in Menomonie, Wisconsin

There are 15 acres of native prairie grasses and plants. There are a few trees and rolling hills. There is approximately 1.5 miles of mowed trails that loop and connect, creating several options for new routes for each visit. There is also an outhouse available if needed. However, it is within our normally private area, so dogs must be on leashes and there are hooks for leashes while in use.

Opportunity Woods is open as of July 1! It offers 5+ acres of hilly woods and long grass meadow surrounded by a 7 foot high fence. Several benches will be placed along the rustic trail, but of course, there is no need to stay on the trail! A water bowl can be found and filled from the human-potable water hydrant, where you will also find a wading pool for dog and human use. There is a roofed shelter just up the hill from the hydrant, where you will find wire-wheel tables and chairs for sitting, playing games, hanging out or having a picnic. The shelter gives you a birds-eye view of Opportunity Farm, where sheep graze the neighboring paddocks.

The riverbed, grass field, and smaller fenced area are all open for play! We have a beautiful piece of land with a mostly fenced perimeter and 1/3 acre fully fenced doggy play area. If you drive in by the picnic table you are in the center of 18 acres to play on and will be quite a distance from the road. There are mowed walking paths to the beautiful Kinnickinnic river, far away from other people and animals. You and your dog will love it here! The river is cold and easy for dogs to hop in and out, (not easy for humans right now). If you want to keep them out of the water there is about 10 acres of open field where you park, separate and above the river so you don't need to have them down by the water at all. (although most dogs gravitate to there!)

40 acres of manicure walking paths, 3 ponds, wooded area, sitting benches, very few ticks !

20 acres enclosed with 4' high woven wire fence, a mix of open field and heavy woods, sometimes turkey, grouse, gophers, and bunnies, lots of "sniff therapy"! Private entrance is shaded with easy access right onto the wooded trails! The portapotty and dog rinse station are located in the parking area. We have bug sprays and poop bags at the entrance and the far end of the field for you to use if needed. Special visitation hours or larger groups may be available under prior arrangement. Shoot us a message, and we can usually make larger groups or people traveling to/from dog competitions happen! For those traveling, we might also be able to accommodate visits outside of our normal hours. ***now that we have freezing temps at night, we are not leaving water out in the field.***

TEMPORARY UPDATE (3/3/24): we have temporary closed our schedule for some land maintainanence and upkeep. Check back and I will announce a re-opening! ** If you drop me a message I will provide you with a reopening discount too! 🐾❣️** Hi! 👋 welcome to our spot! Just want to disclaim that we are brand new to this and are trying to navigate what people want most out of a great Sniffspot ☺️ We are making improvements to our spot every day based on guest feedback and making plans for the future as well! We hope you’ll come check us out! Our land is partially wooded, with open spots to run. There is a short roundabout path but the woods you can walk through too (I take my dogs through the woods you just might want to wear tear-resistant clothes). We are working on creating more designated paths now that we’ve seen some interest! **Concerning the cleanliness percentage**: We have wildlife come through a LOT, coyotes especially, so there might randomly be bones and things to be aware of, and a fair share deer poop! We try to let the wild be wild because we love our wildlife and want a nice spot for them too. Otherwise there is lots of good sniffing and running to do. There is some burdock we are working on eliminating slowly (we do not use chemicals). No other real hazards you wouldn’t find on a normal wilderness hike. We do have some stuff by the house but not out on the actual land. **The property has a ‘fence’ so as you explore you can see where our property ends as you walk with no worry of going off our land, but it is not an appropriate fence for containing dogs that need it.**

Hello all! We are located on 40 acres. 7 acres is open space with fields, trails, and even some animals to sniff! (Chickens, goats, and horses) the back 30 is swampy woods. Fun for pups but not so fun for their owners. Keep a watchful eye! There is a mud puddle, not big enough for big dog swimming but definitely extremely fun to splash in! Lots of hills and long open stretches to get those legs moving. We’re happy to have you and hope your pups have a blast!
