Toby was so helpful and understanding when I had to reschedule for a different day. Can’t wait to actually play with my pup on the beach.

As soon as we pulled up we saw a small herd of deer and some turkeys! It’s a rustic property with some trails and open spaces. Sally came out and greeted us and gave tips for the trails. We will be back!

My boy really loved it here - a nice mix of trails and wide open fields. Sally was quick to respond to my messages. It was so nice to see how happy Remi was to explore somewhere new. If you're planning on going in the morning, make sure to wear shoes that won't get soaked from the dew if that'll bother you. I wore tennis shoes and my feet were soaked from the field (not a complaint and it didn't ruin the visit for me - just wanted to offer the suggestion in case it's helpful). Also, the directions Google gave me had me turning too early into a driveway that wasn't the spot. Make sure you see the sign for mustang Sally's before you turn off the pain road.
I will definitely be bringing Remi back! ☺️

I brought my large 6 year old and my small 13 year old dogs to this amazing location and they had a ball. The pathways are clear enough for my old little guy to maneuver with ease but the length of the trails was prefect for my large younger dog to stretch her legs. They both found plenty to sniff and a splash in the creek didn’t leave them covered in mud due to the Sandy bottom. Definitely will visit again.

We had so much fun here. So much to see and do. Thor was obsessed with the pond and didn’t want to leave. A ton of wildlife and the map made it super easy to navigate the property. Can’t wait to be back!

This is a beautiful spot! Dale was very kind and helpful, and provided a map upon arrival. Highly recommend the pond - the dogs loved it and are still tired after exploring for just an hour. We'll be back!

The pond was so awesome! Our dog normally doesn’t go all the way in but this time he did! Haha. It was great :)

Dale was accommodating and the land was terrific. Paths mowed into the grass so you know where to go. My dog loved the pond and stopped for a swim twice! Dale even provided a map so I wouldn’t get lost. I will definitely return.

We enjoyed our visit and will do more exploring next time. Had a chance to purchase homemade maple syrup and get some farm fresh eggs as well!

Dale’s property is beautiful! My dog is scared of people and Dale was very respectful of that and allowed us to have a contactless visit. There was a trail as well as a lot to sniff around his yard. It was very quiet and peaceful! Thank you!

Our dog is dog-reactive so this was the perfect spot to let him off leash and run the trail and play in the water without the worry of other dogs being around. Great Sniffspot!

Dave’s property was great!! There was a private trail where our dog was able to sniff around and enjoy being outside without running into other dogs or people. We will definitely be back!
