55A lovely piece of property made only lovelier by the owner! The woods are fantastic with easy to follow trails, a great pond, and conveniently provided poop bag stations. Morgan is a great person to chat with and genuinely cares about you and your dogs experience. Highly recommended!Samantha W.

55Safe and well fenced fun space for dogs Interesting and varied trails and a particularly appealing wide path that goes all the way around the huge pond. My dogs loved to race around it!
It was a bit of a drive for us but the dogs loved the freedom and we enjoyed watching them have fun
We will be visiting again 😁Mary W.

55This was such a wonderful experience. This property is an amazing space to let your dogs run around, play, and experience nature. I drove an hour from downtown Cleveland and it was worth it. Morgan is a wonderfully communicative and attentive host.Sarah H.

55We had a wonderful time at this spot. Wonderful trails, easy to find. It was clean. We are so grateful for the memories we were able to make with our sweet boy. Unfortunately, our boy was not strong enough to swim as the pond is deep and Bentley is in the final stages of Lukemia, however normally he would have loved it!!Samantha R.

55We had a great time today! My dog is reactive and not at 100% recall, but stays close. So this was the perfect chance for him to get to be off leash and do his favorite activity — exploring trails — while practicing recall. Will definitely be back! We also muzzled in case we came across wildlife, and that was a great solution for him for his first time here.Karen W.

55This property is amazing!! We did not go near the animals and my dog had no idea they were there. A chicken or something made one sound while we were in the woods where we spent all of our time. It caught my dogs attention but he has a good recall and didn’t care about it. He’s not a water dog so he didn’t bother with the pond.
We spent all of our time in the wooded area. It was my dog’s first time being off leash in such a large area. I learned that he checks in with me quite a bit and doesn’t go too far and he has an awesome recall. It was lovely. We had a great time! I took more videos than I did photos.
I will say to be mindful of time and pay attention to how long it will take you to get back to your car. We exited the driveway with 3 minutes to spare but we had to hoof it back quickly!!
We will definitely be back! Heather P.

55Was exactly what we were looking for. Safely fenced in, with a lake if she wanted to cool off. All the smells she could get in. I know she loved it. We will be bringing out the rest of the dogs after this test today passed with flying colors. Perfect for recall practice. Walking trail for normal path walking and wooded wild areas if feeling more extreme. Love the diversity. I think I peeked an agility course! Clean land and pet areas spread out, made things feel organized and easy. We will be making this a life spot for our bullys.Jennifer B.

55We had SUCH a great time at Rolling Wild Acres! The instructions and communication from the host were very clear and we felt super welcomed! There was plenty of space to walk by the farm animals, so we had no interactions with them, and unleashed our dogs past that area. We spent an hour and a half exploring the paths and checking out the lake and I'm not sure I've seen my dogs happier! The property/fence was secure, and the trails were so fun to walk! 10/10, would love to come back! Rebecca C.

55I highly recommend this park! It's clean, completely fenced, and beautiful. It's just what we need, as our dog cannot be around other dogs. I didn't have to worry about running into another dog while walking the trail. ❤️Emily K.

Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
