55This property is beautiful! There is a variety of wooded trails and trails through the fields. So many wildflowers, butterflies and bumblebees to watch. The creek was great to cool down in and rinse muddy paws. I enjoyed it as much as the pups did!Amy N.

55Despite the rain our pups had a great time. Margaret was so nice to even leave us a towel for the pups, on top of fresh water for them and a cooler filled with goodies. We will definitely be back!Meg G.

55Had another fun adventure at our favorite sniffspot! It had been a while since we were able to visit due to life happenings, but it was just what we all needed! We were able to explore some of the newly flattened/cut in paths around the fields and the dogs all had a blast as always. We always appreciate the water and snacks!tena p.

55It's been a hot minute since I visited my favorite sniffspot because life has been busy! I got up early for a frosty golden hour photography walkies with my squad and it didn't disappoint. There were new trails cut into the fields and we had an incredible time meandering through these new paths and the dogs racing through all the tall grass. The ground was crunchy and frozen and there was a thick layer of frost on the grasses that just shimmered! It was cold but so very sunny that it was not at all uncomfortable.
I so very much appreciate this host's constant developing of this property to be the best sniffspot ever! The new paths cut through the side of the property i like to walk when the fields are mowed so it was nice to get to walk that direction again (couldn't go too far when the field wasn't cut). Everytime I visit there is something new or something fixed.tena p.

55All of the wonderful previous reviews held true for our visit today! Great communication with host. Delicious human snacks were thoughtfully provided. We were there for 1.5 hours and definitely didn’t explore a fraction of what we could have. I cannot wait to go back!Vanessa C.

55Another fabulous trip to this sniffspot. After the snow melt and rain it was WET, but it was so wet that there was standing water in lots of places to the mud got washed off as they ran through the fields and the now flattened tall grass. Such a great time for an adventure! I love the flattened grass to open up some more spaces to race!tena p.

55Margaret’s property was wonderful. My dog is often overwhelmed on walks in the city so it was really fun to watch her explore the area in a such a trigger free environment. Margaret left us some walking suggestions upon arrival and snacks for both humans and dogs. We will definitely be back to explore the rest of the property. Jen K.

FAQ about our Stahlstown 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.
