55Another great trip for my dogs!
55This place is stunning! My dog and I had a lovely hike. He enjoyed the trails and the pond! We will be visiting again.
55I could not believe this place was available this afternoon! It is a stunning area / lots of paths and plenty of room to explore / Bonus the pond❣️W the weather being so perfect - I was stunned that it was available. How do people not know this sniff spot! I highly recommend this area, stunning!
55Wonderful spot we will visit again
55Totally enjoyed this place! Wide paths, and bc fall, could even walk perimeters of the harvested fields. I was able to easily get 2 miles in and didn’t back track a lot. I also didn’t even walk all the fields! Really a great spot!
55My boy loved it.
55This was such a beautiful sniff spot! We will definitely be coming back!
55The dogs always have the best time here!
55Beautiful location and wonderful facilities! We used the pond to practice for our Beginner Water Dog test. Lots of chairs and water toys available, even a couple of kayaks for my dog to practice bringing in. We had a great time! Caroline was quick to respond to any questions I had.
55Stunning property, very well maintained, and the welcome shack is very nice. Loved the pond, will definitely be back!
