55We took a road trip from the Appleton area to enjoy the fall colors and to give our dog some fresh air. This was a perfect place to spend an hour. The location is very accessible from the highway and the hosts were superb. In addition to a nice fenced area and a larger open walking space around a pond, we had access to a box of dog toys, dog treats, and fresh water. We were also delighted to find a welcome note addressed to our dog Murdock on the fence. The owners are clearly dog lovers but we did not see their dogs (or anyone else) during our time there, which was perfect for our somewhat reactive dog.
If you like Asian food, we also recommend Newch’s eatery nearby.Lyn F.

55Everything was just as advertised! Very easy to find and access. The dogs enjoyed sniffing everything and eating whatever long grass they could find around the perimeter. We were even greeted with a handmade sign welcoming us! So adorable!Heather T.

55This was my first time ever on sniffspot and I am very glad that I booked this location. We stayed in the gated area and it was enough for the two dogs to run and play in. Will definitely consider again in the future! Kayla was also responsive and I appreciate the custom note as well. Mai L.

FAQ about our Wausau 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?
