55Just what we needed to see our new reactive dog off leash. Fence is secure, dogs and other animals can be heard and seen but at a considerable distance so our pup felt very safe and happy. A great day!Rachael S.

55Love it here!! It’s a nice, long pasture to run, with lots for the dogs to see and sniff, and it’s very secure. Beautiful for me, too with the painted trailer and other fun artwork etc. Thanks for this one!Pam D.

55Great open space! Really loved the available water and hose to refill when my husky dumped it all out ;) the highland cows are so adorable! One of my huskies was a little TOO interested when they moved closer to the fence and that would be the only reason for us to not return. But I’ve been to both fields now and they are so great! Highly recommend - we just may have to stick to the smaller field with no cows sadly lolBrianna S.

55We've been out to both of their sniffspots a few times now and they're some of our favorite! Comfortable areas with plenty of seating, toys, and amenities, plus secure fencing and the hosts are always helpful when they're around. Love this spot!CLAIRE S.

55My dog Bug and I had a great time! Lots of toys, plenty of space to explore, and a well-reinforced fence. Love the little trailer shelter, this is a great place and we’ll definitely come back!Natalie T.

55Beautiful, peaceful spot! My dog and I had a great time. Luna is reactive, and she did really well here. She got really muddy this time around, but we will definitely be coming back on a drier day! McKenna R.

55My dogs had a great time. My senior dogs really enjoyed having a beautiful meadow to themselves with lots of interesting things to smell. And my puppy loved how much room there was to run. The highland cows were an extra socialization bonus for them. Karen S.

55Wonderful location, perfect for our 3 dogs and two of their fury friends to spend a sunny afternoon. There is an outhouse which is a nice bonus. Will definitely be back!Rebekah W.

55We love coming to this spot so much! This huge field has a trailer that is very nice to be able to take shelter in when it rains or is windy. My German shepherd loves coming to play here! Ashley J.

55Our two standard poodles had a great time charging up and down the field. Every time they got bored with a toy, we just grabbed a different one and they were off again! The area was clean and it was nice having a shelter for the occasional rain shower. I'll echo another reviewer - much less muddy that we expected given the time of year.Susan A.

55The place was serene, clean and just lovely. Loved the stain glass and all that went with the decor. My pup absolutely had a great time in the country with all the smells away from the city. Thank you again❤️Estelle M.

55Lovely spot! Clearly marked (there are two sniff spots at the same location). The space was clean and wide open. Fence kept our pup in safely. I really appreciated the garbage can for dog poop (thank you!). Will be back again!Stephanie K.

FAQ about our Smith River dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smith River area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
