55Wow, what a stunning slice of heaven! As avid hikers and nature lovers, it’s unfortunate that one of our dogs is not good with other dogs / people. It was such a treat to be able to truly relax and enjoy the pups being pups. They loved swimming in the lake, lounging along the shoreline, and exploring the trails. Clean up was also a breeze as there is minimal sand - mostly rocks! We adored this property so much and will most certainly be back. Thank you so much for graciously sharing your space with the world, Robin!Holli P.

55My pup and I had the most peaceful morning wandering around here. It is beautiful, quiet, well maintained and secure. My dog is very nervous around other dogs and people, so it was heaven for her to be able to around free and splash in the lake. This property is so lovely and I am so thankful to Robin for sharing it. We will definitely be back! Kelly B.

55We are speechless! Not only did our sassy lab girl have the absolute time of her life but there was also ample room for us to use our super senior dogs mobility buggy on the trail to the lakeside and he was able to lounge in the water. We were prepared to carry him but it was just an added bonus that he also got to see the trails. Its so beautiful and so easy to find with Robin's impeccable directions and the map on where to get in and where to park. Just so amazing. Would give it 100 stars if I could. She made an old dog's whole week!Wendy P.

55Our pup had an amazing time, and so did we. The trails are beautifully cared for. The lake is stunning. To top it off, we watched a bald eagle some distance away - it was enjoying the water too!John W.

55This is my new favorite place to take my pups! It’s such a beautiful nature trail with unlimited space for the pups to roam. It reminds me of the arboretum in EHT except there’s more trails and no people. Emily R.

55This was our second time at Robin’s and we loved it just as much. For years we took our dogs to the beach and it was fabulous, but at some point one of our dogs started becoming protective and our glorious relaxing walks on the beach became so full of anxiety that we stopped going. Letting them off the leash at Robin’s is such a treat for us and our dogs. It’s fully fenced (which was quite a feat considering how large the property is), and they take off running down the trails, circling back to check on us. The lakes are crystal clear and for our dog who love the water it’s truly a treat. It’s a place we can let them explore, knowing they’ll be safe. Zero anxiety, and tired pups on the way home. If you are looking for a place where you can pretend your reactive dog is not reactive, this is it.Melissa B.

55Robin calls it a wonderful, she wasn’t kidding! Our dogs got to be dogs for an hour…sniffing, running, swimming. 100% recommend. We’ll be here often.Melissa B.

55The area was quite spacious and surrounded by nature. My dog ran around safely and was able to burn off some energy. His favorite part was definitely swimming in the lake — the water was very clean. We had a lovely time together in a quiet and peaceful environment. It was an enjoyable experience for both me and my dog.

55This spot is absolutely gorgeous, quiet and so peaceful. Robin is easy to communicate with, quick to respond, gives great directions for parking and provides a trail map in the instructions, which was very helpful. The trails are well maintained, marked and easy to follow, plenty of spots for pups to explore, sniff and play in the water. Some spots with seating for humans along the trails/ by the water. I highly recommend checking it out if you live in the area or are visiting the shore area with your pup! We will definitely be back.
We didn't see or hear any people/ dogs while there. Definitely a great spot for a sound sensitive pup as well.Kayla F.
