55We had such a great time at the Dykstra Dog Park!!! Our dog Dude had so much space to run and he loved walking on the trails too. It was super quiet and peaceful and the owner was super sweet! We’ll definitely be back and thanks so much for having us!
55Great space!
55A large, clean and shaded yard with gorgeous walking tails. This was our 3rd time back, highly recommend!
55Our two small dogs really liked it, spent the time wandering around and sniffing lots of smells!
55This is such a great spot. This is our second time there, both very hot days, but I discovered a Folding chair near the pooper scoopers, and took that under some shady trees, and had a lovely read while Lilly sniffed around. Heather, unfortunately, was not home, so we couldn’t exchange pleasantries, but we had a lovely time, just like last time!
55Nice yard to play in! We didn't do the trails, but the dogs had a great time in the yard!
55Dykstra is a most lovely Sniffspot! Lilly and I both utterly appreciated that we could park literally right outside the gate to the park, and I could unhook her leash and let ‘er run! Given my mobility issues, I didn’t partake much of the trails, but I think Lilly explored them a bit. Due to its being completely fenced in, I felt comfortable sitting on chairs outside the main residence and letting Lill explore on her own, which she did. We took advantage of all the amenities which Heather offered, including a water bowl with a water hose nearby, a pooper scooper with a rake, a tennis ball, and for me, plenty of outdoor seating for this old guy. Although Heather indicates that she usually does not meet her guests, she did peek out to say Hi and introduce herself during our hour-long visit. She even allowed me use of her restroom in the house when I needed it! Heather has a charming young daughter, who directed me to the bathroom, AND, much to my delight, when we were leaving, stood at the window of the house and shouted “Please come again!!!” All in all, a thoroughly inviting, warm visit to a pleasant home doubling as a dog park. I could not have been happier with the experience, and we will certainly be back! A minor tiff-FINDING the address was a tad hard, because I saw no big “8680” sign at the driveway. But that’s minor.
55Very nice backyard and trails. There’s everything you need like water bowls and poop bags. We loved it!
35It was just okay. There were no problems but also nothing welcoming for sure. The grounds were mowed but that's about it. Fine derails were not a priority.
55Wonderful, secure fence with plenty of space to run and explore.

Has your dog become a couch potato? Bring it on out for some good conditioning. Recommended for hunting/sporting dogs and large dogs, we have 100+ acres fenced in with 10' tall fence. Owner will need to walk with their dog (off leash of course) since sight of your dog is limited. The property includes a creek that runs across the front of the property, crop fields (currently soybeans), wooded areas, wetland, and some gentle hills. You can walk the perimeter of the fence and down many trails. It takes me about 40 minutes to walk the front part of the perimeter I cover with my dogs. There is a pond but due to the heat, it is currently covered in algae. Your dog will have access to the creek for drinking, swimming, and playing in. There are a few plastic Adirondack chairs set out for resting. Depending on the time of day, you may hear and/or see my dogs and our rental house occupants dogs. There will be no other dogs inside the fenced area when you visit. This is also in a farming area, so you may hear livestock from neighboring farms. I cannot guarantee that your dog will be clean or stick-tight free when leaving but they will have fun and be tired. This is a great spot for conditioning your upland bird dog before hunting season. No shooting or hunting on our property.

Unfenced
100 acres

Our 100 acre farm has been in the family for over 30 years. We have put a lot of time and effort into the property. And we would love to share it with you and your fur family to. The trails are all very well maintained. You will likely see birds, deer and plenty of wildlife throughout the trials. We hope to see you out and about enjoying it just as much as we do with all of our animals. ****Notes**** Happy WINTER❄️☃️Please keep the weather in mind. All of our trails are in the woods. We try our best to drive the trails and keep them open as much as we can snow permitting 💪❄️ We HIGHLY recommend if the wind is Above 15 mph to reschedule. (You can cancel and get your money back-we understand) We just don’t want you or your pet getting hurt if anything were to happen in the woods. One other thing. Don’t forget bring those Boots. 🥾 All of our trails are usually dry. But if you do come after it snows or rains it could be a little muddy. There could also be some sticks on the trails if it happens to be super windy the day before and we can’t always get them cleaned up right away-we do apologize in advance 😊💪 One other thing: if it's snow, we don't put the water buckets out because we don't want them to freeze. I don't know about your pups, but mine love to eat the snow anyways. 🪣🤣☃️ Thank you for checking out our spot!! We look forward to meeting you and your furfriends. 🐕☺️ Maple Ridge Farms ❤️ *** If you have any questions always feel free to message us and ask ☺️🐕

Private 2-Acre Meadow & Mowed Nature Trails

Unfenced
2 acres

Give your dog a chance to slow down, sniff, explore, and enjoy a little country space! Our approximately 2-acre field features a winding mowed loop with two cross paths through the center, giving you several different ways to wander without simply walking back and forth. The field is intentionally kept natural, with tall grasses, wildflowers, young trees, bushes, raspberry patches, and other native plants surrounding the mowed trails. There are plenty of interesting smells and places to investigate, making this a fun spot for dogs who love sniffing and exploring. A lower/pit area with more mature trees is visible from the trails and adds to the secluded, natural feel of the property, although that area is not currently part of the maintained walking path. The property is not fenced, so dogs should remain leashed or on a long line unless they have reliable recall. Because this is a natural field, you may encounter the normal assortment of country residents and annoyances, including insects, ticks, wildlife, uneven ground, and seasonal plants. For your visit, you’ll have: * Two designated parking spaces at the end of the paved driveway * A dog waste bag station * A trash can for used bags * Clearly mowed paths through the field * Plenty of room for a peaceful sniffari away from busy parks This is a simple, natural space designed for dogs who don’t need playground equipment or fancy amenities. Just room to walk, sniff, decompress, and be a dog. Please clean up after your dog and help us keep the trails enjoyable for everyone.
