55We really enjoyed our private hike in the woods. My dog had a blast! There are lots of trails to explore but we did get turned around a couple times. We didn’t make it down to the brook but will be sure to check it out next time. The host and his children were outside in the yard and were very kind to give my reactive dog some space. Will be back for sure!!
55This was such a great spot! My dog had a blast running around and sniffing. We will for sure be back!!
55Love this place! We were able to explore further into the woods this trip and it is ao beautiful and peaceful.
55Had a great time exploring the brook this time. It was rainy today and we saw lots of newts and frogs! Highly recommend this sniffspot!
55Again had a great time!! Twice in one week my guys loved it here!! The trails are great and well marked on vacation this week and we all had a great time. Thanks again
55As always, our favorite spot. Our dogs never have this type of freedom, they had a blast! And the stream was a great spot to rest and cool down in for them. The Google map is very helpful!
55This spot is perfect for my high-energy, reactive dog. He thrived here, happily sniffing and running around without a care. I appreciated not having to worry about other dogs or keeping him leashed. The owner and his family were exceptionally welcoming and kind.
55Great place. The dogs had fun!
55First time at this spot!! We will definitely be back my dogs had a great time and you’re not far from home. Nice to have peace of mind that you aren’t going to run into other unleash dogs. We booked in hour & 1/2 it was just enough. Thanks so much.
55We have a leash reactive pup and live in the city, so this was truly a special spot for us. We traversed the trails for an hour and a half (about two miles I think?) and our pup had such a great time. So many new sights and smells. She even showed us some moves we didn’t know she had like walking across a log like it was a balance beam! It’s hard to express how much these sniffspots mean to reactive dog families! Thank you to Charles for sharing this space with us.

Description

Welcome to our 50 Acres of Private Conservation Forest Farm Enjoy peaceful walks through a rare old-growth Connecticut forest. Marked trails wind through woods, streams, and vernal pools, offering a peaceful escape. Benches and tables are available for resting and picnicking at the trailhead. This property is ideal for owners seeking a quiet, uncrowded environment away from other dogs. SAFETY NOTICE The property is large but unfenced. Dogs with any history of biting people or posing risk of aggression towards humans must remain leashed at all times while on the property. CONSERVATION EFFORTS Our USDA-approved Forest Management Plan aims to ensure sustainable stewardship of the forest’s health and natural habitats. Trail walkers are vital for achieving sustainability. As a walker, you can help us do so by: Donating. You can help us achieve our aim of sustainable conservation by making a donation. About 20% of your booking fee goes to Sniffspot allowing you to book a hike through their platform. You can choose to donate the remainder of the booking fee to support our trail upkeep initiative; or you can decline to make a donation and we will waive the remainder. You can book and come to walk your dog whether you donate or not. Documenting Biodiversity. Another way you can help is by sharing any pictures you take of the wildlife and interesting plants you come across on your walk. Sniffspotters’ photographic contributions have already been invaluable in helping us map the natural diversity of our forest. Feedback, Flagging & Fighting. Feedback on how to improve the trails, trail markings, etc. is valuable and we are always grateful to receive it. It is also helpful if you write to us to flag any obstructions, problems or hazards that you noticed when walking. Finally, some of you have joined us in our fight against invasive plants. If you want to join us, drop us a line and we will provide you with a most-wanted list, some gloves, a hori hori and loppers! Thank you for helping us to share and protect our forest.

My pets will be indoors at the time of your booking. Thank you! :) Here on SniffSpot I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where your pets can feel comfortable, socialized (if you wish) and cared for. I’m a proud dog mom of five Cockapoos and a cat mom of one, with hands-on experience raising puppies from birth (including assisting with a litter), as well as caring for senior pets. My home is an LGBTQ+ friendly space, and I’m also a Fairfield University graduate. At my home, your pets will enjoy plenty of space to run, play, and relax in a calm neighborhood that’s great for walks. My goal is to create an stress-free, fun, and safe experience for you and your pet(s). It would be much appreciated if you could book ahead of time so that we can ensure the space is clean and ready for your visit as we like to clean water bowls and fill with fresh filtered water before each visit and do a quick walk through. This will also allow us to locate our cat if he is outdoors and bring him in, as well as our resident dogs. Thank you!
