Description

There is a rope across the driveway as you go in. If the rope is up, just lay it on the ground and drive through. Follow Sniffspot directional signs to the parking area in the lower field behind the barn. Follow driveway towards the back of the barn. Turn left into the upper field, then right into the lower field where parking is available at the start of the entrance point to the trail. (There are signs directing you to parking and trails). You'll have access to approximately 10 acres of woods trails, a few streams; one with a bridge and others with a culvert, several rest areas with chairs/bench, a field by the parking area, and a dirt road that is also a snowmobile trail in the winter. Parts of the woods trails can be muddy in some areas, especially after a bit of rain. Wear appropriate outdoor shoes and clothing. You can also expect tall grass on parts of these trails. Many different types of wildlife are also present. (These are trails in the woods on a large acreage in rural Maine). You could see deer, moose, bear, coyote, fox, skunk, raccoon etc., just to name a few. The trails are well marked with directional signs. Please stay on marked trails. Expect your dog(s) to be wet if they love water! We have towels available, located at the parking area to dry them off if you’d like. (We have labs....They're always wet, but enjoying life and having so much fun!) They may even get muddy. There are several streams they can rinse off in if you'd like. There are also treats for your pups, dog toys, bottled water for dogs and people, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, bug spray and a first aid kit available for you to use, located at the parking area. We are adding more amenities and improvements as we go! Enjoy our little slice of heaven here in Monson, Maine and have fun being outdoors in nature with your pup!😊

Beautiful property!

Our dogs had a blast here! As mentioned in the property description, it is muddy. But oh do our dogs love mud! The signage for Sniffspot users is the best I’ve seen anywhere and much appreciated. There’s a large field where you park that the dogs can run around in, and then two dirt roads that are easy to navigate, with forest and little streams on either side. It was so great to have such a large space to explore without worrying about running into other dogs. Carol responded very quickly to messages. Thank you!

Our property is 20 acres with a two-acre fenced field for the dog park and many acres of woods. We are hoping to create some walking trails in the woods soon for your use. The field is surrounded with maple and pine trees, and is a very private and peaceful setting. Hose is available to rinse off if needed. This is perfect for shy or reactive dogs who need freedom to run and play with you without other dogs or humans. After rainy day rain boots 🥾 recommended.
