55Awesome spot! Excellent place to take your dog hiking that’s close to the city. Very well maintained trails, added bonus of creeks to cool off in. Definitely check this place out! Jessica B.

55My dog had a fantastic time! We love hiking so this was great to have a similar experience while she was able to be off leash and play in the water. Great for dogs who enjoy getting dirty, and it was definitely worth the bath 😄
Note to pay attention to the road name - my gps had me off by a bit. Katie R.

55So much fun! I will be back when it’s a bit cooler and when it’s been raining consistently. The creek was dried up due to the heatwave last week. I was a bit confused when we got there, but you park by the first cone you see and then walk with the rest of the cones into the wooded area. Megan M.

55This spot is a hidden gem in the northland. Most of the trails are shaded. Lots of room to roam. Beautiful creek for the fur-babies. We all left smiling. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you Dave!Jamie G.

55We loved visiting this place! Only wish we could have stayed longer, but we will next time when the weather cools off a bit. Very peaceful area with a ton for dogs to smell and explore, with wide trails so you don't have to worry about walking through tall grass or anything like that, but you'll probably still want bug spray. Good tip from a previous visitor about double checking your GPS or Google Maps directions in case it tries to send you to the wrong address. If it starts with 46 it's not the right one; if it starts with 48 that's it. A little confusing since they both have a gravel driveway, but obvious once you start going.Katherine P.

55Dave is incredible! He called to give me more clear directions than what the GPS says, he changed the time for me when I was running late, and he helped me when I forgot what he told me earlier about the directions! The property incredible. I had very happy pups. Can’t wait to go back! Jaimie H.

55A good drive from KCK but worth it. I’d like to come back and stay much longer. Junk yard view at one point, with some industrial noise; probably would be disguised in summer. The trails aren’t marked and they go all over the place and I found that stressful, worrying I might get lost. I made us little signposts with fallen wood as a guide for getting back. Importantly, my youngest and oldest had a blast (I should put a bell on all of them. I brought along a bag to carry my middle kid when she needed it. It’s fairly rugged and I liked that but might be tough with little human kids. Dave called to give better directions than my GPS would have and that was kind and useful. Definitely a place I’ll return to with my youngest and I’ll give us more time to explore.Tracy M.

55Our three Goldens had a great time running and playing in the steams! Great property with nice wide trails and easy access to the water for the dogs to cool off. The host was very kind and helpful as well! The perfect spot to wear out active dogs.Bethany B.

55Beautiful day to hike and play in the creek. Dave was so hospitable and gracious with his wonderful property. My reactive Rottweiler enjoyed time on his long lead and was so relaxed. I was able to relax as well knowing no other animals or people would be around the corner. Thanks Dave! We will be back!Lindsay S.

55Our dog had the best time at Dave’s! The directions he gave made it so easy to get there. We hiked for about an hour and my dog is exhausted! He loved all the creeks and exploring off leash. We will definitely be coming back! Tawny S.

55Fantastic place to take your pups. Your dog can be a dog and roam everywhere. Trails are a variety of intermediate to a little strenuous, you choose. If your dog loves the water, there is a pretty continuous stream with no signs of the harmful algae so I felt comfortable to let my Aussie wade all through it. Terrific place if you love the outdoors. Use Apple Maps if possible. Google maps will take you down the wrong road. Dave was a great host, very responsive when Google maps took me t down the wrong road. Thanks Dave! Highly recommend! stephanie k.

FAQ about our Smithville 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smithville 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 103 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
