90 minute time slot. We have an open 70 acres surrounding a private pond with a trail thru the fields and woods around nature. The time allotment is 90 minutes only. We ask that our guests park by the barn and go straight to the lake then to the left around the lake. Trails are marked. It is about a 1 mile trail or more. trails are not plowed open in the winter but are perfect for snow shoeing, hiking an fat tire bikes in the snow on the trails or perfect spring to fall on the maintained trails.

Maplewood Private Farm Dog Park (5-acres)

Fully Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Nessel & Luna’s Private Farm Dog Park -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near the Battle Creek area, just minutes from I-94 and McKnight. What makes this area special is the landscape itself -- the rolling hills, small valleys, mature trees, and natural contours that make homes here feel like private nature oases tucked into the suburbs. The property sits near the top of a hill, which makes for especially beautiful sunsets. This spot gives dogs a private place to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from crowded public parks and constant dog traffic. The main fenced play area is approx 60 ft x 100 ft, with room for fetch, wandering, and off-leash play. Beyond the fenced area, the property opens into a natural, wooded setting with grass fields, trails, logs, branches, wildlife scents, and plenty of space for dogs who love to explore. The full property is not fenced, so long leashes are ideal outside the main play area. Dogs are allowed to roam and sniff while still staying within safe recall distance. You know your dog best, so please use your judgment and keep them safe and under control. Most neighbors have back fences that border our property. I’m also a builder/carpenter, and I’m constantly working to improve the play area and add new amenities so the space becomes more fun, useful, and enriching for dogs. Check back for future upgrades, including agility-style platforms, climbing features, a heavy-duty spring pole for dogs who love tug and high-energy play, a slatmill/treadmill, and a dedicated water play area during warmer months. There is also a campfire area available at no extra charge for guests who book visits longer than 3 hours. Please let me know ahead of time if you would like to use it. This is a great fit for dogs who need privacy, dogs who do not do well at public dog parks, dogs building confidence, working breeds with energy to burn, or owners who simply want a quiet, spacious place where their dog can be a dog. I just opened this Sniffspot recently, so I welcome guest feedback on how to keep improving the space and making it safer, easier, and more enjoyable for dogs and their people. Resident dogs (two) will be kept separate during visits. Please supervise your dog, clean up before leaving, and close all gates behind you.

The property is 100% fenced- the fencing is 3 feet high- there is a gate in the driveway, once closed it is completely fenced in. We have water available for dogs- due to the cold weather, please message me if you want water available during your visit and I will put it out ahead of time if I am home.

10 Beautiful Acres with River 12 minutes from Hudson WI

Fully Fenced
18 acres

12/31/25 update: I have tried to maintain a plowed trail, but the wind gusts are doing everything they can to stop me. The field has snow drifts over the trail. PARKING only at the barn/field entrance. You will not be able to drive into the field until after snow melt and once the ground firms up, likely in late April to mid May. 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!)

Frequently asked questions about Red Wing dog hiking trails

Why are private dog hiking trails better than public dog parks in Red Wing?

Private dog hiking trails in Red Wing eliminate major public park risks: unpredictable dog encounters that scare puppies, aggressive dogs that trigger reactive behavior, chaotic crowds that overwhelm seniors or small dogs, and disease transmission from dozens of unknown dogs. Red Wing's 7 private dog hiking trails offer complete privacy, professionally maintained cleanliness, and controlled environments. Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.

How safe are Red Wing dog hiking trails compared to public dog parks?

Red Wing dog hiking trails are significantly safer than public facilities. Public dog parks risk: aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission, overcrowding that triggers reactive behaviors or injuries. Private Red Wing dog hiking trails eliminate these concerns—bookings are completely private, all guests have vaccinated dogs (or titers), and hosts maintain clean spaces. 93% of Sniffspot reviews are 5 stars.

Are Red Wing dog hiking trails safe for reactive dogs?

Red Wing owners of reactive dogs choose dog hiking trails because they offer safe, private environments for off-leash exercise without the triggers of public dog parks. Complete privacy means no unexpected dog encounters, no overwhelming chaos, no aggressive dogs. Reactive dogs can finally enjoy natural exploration and varied terrain while building confidence in a controlled setting. Many Red Wing reactive dog owners say Sniffspot is their only safe exercise option.

Can anxious dogs safely use Red Wing dog hiking trails?

Yes! Red Wing dog hiking trails provide controlled environments perfect for anxious or fearful dogs. No other dogs means no triggers, no overwhelming situations. Anxious dogs can explore a natural outdoor path where dogs can explore varied terrain off-leash in a safe, private environment at their own pace without stress. Many Red Wing dog hiking trails offer quiet, spacious settings ideal for building confidence in nervous dogs who struggle at chaotic public dog parks.

Are Red Wing dog hiking trails good for small dogs?

Absolutely! Small dogs benefit enormously from Red Wing dog hiking trails because they can explore without fear of being trampled or intimidated by larger breeds. Many small dog owners in Red Wing avoid public parks entirely due to safety concerns—dog hiking trails eliminate that worry. Filter for appropriate sizing, secure fencing with no gaps, and hosts who understand petite pup needs.

Do Red Wing dog hiking trails work for senior dogs?

Yes! Senior dogs thrive at Red Wing dog hiking trails because they can move at their own pace without being knocked over by rambunctious puppies or young dogs. Look for Red Wing dog hiking trails with flat terrain, easy access, shade, and smaller sizes if your senior has mobility limitations. The privacy means your older dog can rest when needed and enjoy gentle exercise without stress.

What do Red Wing dog owners say about dog hiking trails?

Reviews of Red Wing dog hiking trails consistently highlight: excellent privacy for all dog types, secure fencing that prevented escapes, clean and well-maintained spaces, responsive hosts, and safe environments for anxious, fearful, reactive, senior, and small dogs. Local favorite 10 Beautiful Acres with River 12 minutes from Hudson WI is particularly praised in Red Wing. Read reviews to see real experiences from Red Wing dog owners with similar needs.

How clean and maintained are Red Wing dog hiking trails?

Many Red Wing hosts provide poop bags, trash cans, and regular cleaning. Reviews highlight maintenance quality—browse Red Wing dog hiking trail listings to see real feedback about cleanliness and upkeep.
