Lots of room to run and play ball or frisbee! Pond can be used by the dogs at your discretion. Pond is not treated or tested but my dogs used to get in it. There are turtles, frogs, geese (please chase the geese away!), ducks and maybe other wildlife at the pond too. Separately there is 40 acres of woods. See the map I drew in the photos.

Megan's 5 Acre Lakefront Unfenced Private Dog Park with Lake Access In Acton

🍂 FALL/WINTER UPDATE – 10/8/26 Camp is closing up for the season this weekend! All seasonal amenities, including chairs, docks, and trash cans, will be removed or put away for the winter. Price reduced to $15/hour for fall/winter months! Our Sniffspot will remain OPEN year-round! You're still welcome to enjoy the property, explore the woods, and access the lake with your pup. Just keep in mind that seasonal amenities will no longer be available. IMPORTANT REMINDERS - ABSOLUTELY NO smoking, vaping, open flames, campfires, charcoal grills, or fireworks anywhere on the property. These camps are cherished family properties, and due to shoreline regulations, a camp lost to fire likely could not be rebuilt in its current location. - Chairs and docks: Being put away for winter. You're welcome to bring your own chairs to enjoy the little beach area! - Water: The outdoor spigot will be shut off for winter, so please bring drinking water for yourself and your pup. - Dog waste: Please carry out all dog waste, as trash cans will not be available during the winter months. Please do not use our household trash. If your pup goes well into the woods, you're welcome to leave it there. :) --- 🐾 WELCOME TO OUR LAKESIDE SNIFFSPOT! Open year-round, this private 5+ acre Sniffspot offers plenty of room to roam, explore, and swim on a beautiful peninsula extending into Balch Lake. Park at the top of the hill and enjoy a scenic walk down, giving your pup a true "Sniffari" experience along the way. At the end, you'll be rewarded with peaceful lake views and a wonderful spot for your dog to explore, splash, and play. Prefer not to walk? You're welcome to drive directly down to the lake access area. The property is unfenced but very private, with the peninsula providing a natural barrier and minimal outside traffic. A FEW THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR VISIT - Access road: The road is sand and gravel. Sturdy footwear is recommended if walking. - Road conditions: Rain and seasonal weather can create ruts, and the road is due for grading. - Driving down: SUVs and trucks are recommended. Sedans can typically make it down as well (ours does!), but please use your best judgment, particularly during wet, icy, or snowy conditions. - Lake activity: Balch Lake is shared, so you may see boats, kayaks, paddleboards, and occasionally dogs accompanying boaters on the water. - Sounds across the lake: Sound travels easily over water, so people and dogs may sound much closer than they actually are. - Off-leash safety: As with any unfenced property, please make sure your dog has reliable recall or keep them leashed according to their abilities and your comfort level. - Winter visits: Please plan accordingly, as seasonal amenities will be unavailable and paths, roads, and shoreline areas may be slippery. Whether you're looking for a peaceful lakeside retreat, a woodland adventure, or a place for your dog to burn off some energy, we hope you and your pup enjoy your visit in every season! 🐕🍁

Joanna's 3 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Minot

Katie's 0.5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Peru

I have a very large back yard with a pavilion for shade or rain shelter my backyard does have pond and when it’s full it’s great for swimming!! There is also access to run around the pond! So your doggies can burn some energy off! The house is located far enough away from the backyard that you will not see any people or pets! There is a separate driveway that brings you to the backyard with plenty of space to park. There is a chain swing under the pavilion chairs and a table. There is also a picnic table located in the field. The fire hydrant that is placed in the field is just for looks and a funny place for your dog to lift his leg!!

Kara's 1 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Sabattus

We have a little of everything A scenic view during the summer time we have a great find with edible grapes we have an apple tree It is unfortunately crab apples but you are welcome to pick them take some home to make crabapple jam or anything that you like to bake with them they are fabulous for jams and any other baked good we have a open face barn even welcome to go in a fire pit with chairs we also have a gardening utility shed with items in it for your use if you would like to do anything in the yard with the animals or just therapeutic for yourself and I do have a little self man-made pond but it's tiny not big enough for a dog to get in it and it is clean water although it does need to be cleaned for the season I used the tote so I'm able to keep it nice and fresh and not yucky but naturally that can happen with the leaves and everything landing in it but it's a freshwater source for wild animals I like to encourage wild animals we have a whole row in the backyard of lilac trees so you will be able to partake in the beautiful smell of lilacs we have every color! And you are welcome to take some if you would like I can keep hand shears available for cutting if you are a lilac person I would just suggest you're careful with ticks and you check yourself though we keep it as safe as we can or not big on chemicals. We have a very large honeysuckle tree which attracts hummingbirds which you will see often You will see chipmunks all the time we have many also the rare sighting of red squirrels we have a little family of red squirrels I love squirrels and I like to try to encourage people to keep them safe especially on a busy road people don't really think about how scary it is for them to cross I do have a squirrel crossing section they even have their own little picnic table I know I'm crazy! I love animals in our yard is a sanctuary for that which is why I encourage you to bring yours! I think that you will love it There is an area in the backyard where digging would not bother me what at all I would just ask if the hole gets big enough you just kind of throw the dirt back in it so that there's no tripping or anything like that for others. We always have outdoor chairs and a fire pit that you are more than welcome to use! And if there is ever anything that you need I am always available to provide it! If you are near this area and you're looking for a beautiful spot where you can hang out in the backyard that also has a huge field that you have access to if you would like You just have to walk the trail back there there's even some rocks you could climb on if you wanted to but there's a very large field out there it's very private and it is at your disposal! Come join our family and enjoying a yard that I put a lot of care and love into as does my husband we take very good care of it we rake we pick up sticks and we keep it very clean and beautiful and animal friendly. We do have two different forms of rose bushes I would just advise you are careful with the dogs around the rose bushes You don't want them biting those and getting a shock lol as they have thorns on them the one on the side of the house is pretty much out of the way of course but there is one in the center of the backyard but it's easy to see they're the kind of roses that grow along the side of popham Beach naturally they're beautiful they're dark pink and then the ones on the side of the house are the beautiful wild pink ones and if anybody has the desire to have some You are also welcome to snip some of those off and take them home.
