55Host was lovely! We will definitely come back. The dogs had a great time and one of them did not want to leave after an hour and a half. The trail was well maintained and there were signs all over so it was hard to get lost. Grace B.
55My two dogs absolutely loved this property! All the intertwined trails were perfect! It was nicely shaded clean and maintained. The host greeted us on arrival and went above and beyond to make sure our first sniff spot adventure was enjoyable. Prepare for dirty dogs after with towels lol... would recommend this place in a heartbeat to burn some of your dogs energy! Theresa S.
55Great Sniffspot - my dog loves being here, and enjoys seeing the area change over the seasons. The host also has terrific communication, and lets us know about current conditions. That helps us prepare for appropriate footwear (for the humans), and whether to bring extra towels (for the dog)April T.
55Spectacular property with trails all over! Lots of shade in the forested areas, and water for your dog to cool off as well! It was easy to find and the host was very welcoming providing a map of the area! Would definitely go again!Sharon H.
55Well maintained trails with great signs that let you know exactly where you are and a very helpful map! Excellent host!keera m.
55Stunning place. Martin was very helpful and kind. The trails are perfect and even more beautiful in person. My dog had a wonderful time. Will be back!Fionna P.
55Trails were well marked and well maintained! While the property is closely situated to the road, the trails immediately lead you away and down into the forest. Very quiet and secluded! Jessica W.
55We had a wonderful time! So many different paths to explore. It's nicely shaded and a great place to play hide n seek from your pup to test them!!!Lisa N.
55What an amazing spot! My girls and I couldn’t have been happier. Booked this spot to celebrate my girls seventh birthday and I will 100% be back. This is the happiest we’ve all been in such a long time. Highly recommend. 💯🐾Stefanie M.
55Great spot with lots to explore! The host was also extremely considerate and has placed some concrete slabs around the areas that were muddier as an alternative to walk over. There are so many little areas that our pup enjoyed exploring and the trails bring a variety of exploration. Our dog is reactive and anxious and this place offers her the opportunity to explore nature stress free without worrying about her triggers! We will definitely be back!Jaquie D.

Hazards
This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water
Bee hives on one trail - they don't like small dogs! Easy to avoid, well marked. Bees aren't active in fall and winter, but stay away from the hives anyway.
We live out in the country and there are coyotes. They are very shy, and if you stay on or near the trails you will never see them. Avoid dusk or early morning if this is a concern for you.
The west side cutover from Meadow to Black Walnut can be up to a foot deep.

I love to ski, so I cut a lot of trails. My dog Teddy is a shy but friendly Shitzu-Poodle mix who likes to go on long walks. Teddy and I are happy to share the trails with other dogs.
