55This is the perfect spot for a hike. Love how there is water at the beginning of the walk to cool off and then we can cool off at the end as well :) the pack had the best time.Brittani B.

55Large open space with some serious good sniffs. Open trail meander through the area. Natural vegetation providing border. Warm days you are able to feel the heat, so bring water on trail. Water bowl and trash at the beginning of trail ( in shelter area). There are some mild inclines/declines. One area has small pond like area. Be aware if you have swamp divers! 😆april W.

55This is such an amazing Sniffspot :) The directions for the trail were easy to follow and the views at the top were beautiful. There are some very muddy sections of the trail so I would definitely recommend wearing hiking boots if you plan on going up to the top. It’s super convenient that the creek is located so close to the parking area so that our dogs could splash around and wash the mud off before getting back in the car. We’ll definitely be back!Sophie S.

55We had such a great time romping around today. This a really beautiful spot with plenty of trails to wander around and check out. A lot of the areas that are unfenced have thick vegetation or blackberries, which were enough to help my pup stay in bounds and the mud was pretty minimal. The instructions for parking and accessing the trails were easy to follow and we had no problems at all. We will definitely be back. Sarah M.

55Fantastic spot for both dogs and people. We’ve been coming here for years now and we have never seen another person or dog. It’s one of the few Sniffspots that truly feels like you are getting to take your reactive dog on a hike.Nina H.

55My dogs and I had a blast exploring this Sniffspot! It was easy to find, instructions were clear and easy to follow. There was a water dish and some dog treats near the parking area — the dogs were very thankful for the water after all of the running they did! This property is well maintained and has several trails you can walk on. Despite only being partially fenced it feels very secure due to the thick brush off to the sides of the trail. There are some little ponds that are a bit muddy — my dogs loved them. This was a great experience and we will be back!Rylee S.

55Nothing like roaming a farm! The dogs had a blast running on the rolling hills, drinking out of the stream, and chasing birds. All within the safety of fences. The conditions were as expected, muddy in some areas and dry in others. Highly recommend and will go back again...Shellice B.

FAQ About Mount Vernon Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?

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.
