55Been here many times. The owners do an amazing job of taking care of the property and providing the best experience for all of us. This spot is especially great on hot days because the trail portion is completely wooded and stays nice and cool, which is really important for my dog who doesn't do great in the heat. I'll continue to visit Black Pond for as long as they continue to offer their property as a Sniffspot. Sang K.

55Well kept fairly flat trails lead to a clearing to play or relax “club zoomies”. Probably not a great spot for anyone with no verbal control over their dog, but the boundaries are clear and easy to follow. We loved it. Spot is well equipped with water, poo bags, and seating.Lindsay B.

55The description and signage made it easy to find. We had a great stroll through the woods and would've stayed longer, but one of my dogs gets real tired in the heat quickly. Will for sure be back. Amy L.

55Our new favorite sniff spot!! Easy to find, plenty of parking, trails clearly marked, tons of room to roam, sniff, swim and run. Towels were helpful for preliminary wipe down but definitely a bath at home required. Bringing friends and going again in a few days. Outstanding place. Layle W.

55Difficult to find as our GPS system put us in the completely wrong spot. That said, it was very nice once we arrived! It was clean, we got to see some horses in the distance, and there was plenty of room for our dog to run and sniff to his heart’s content. Bailey O.

55The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I appreciated the signage and postings along the property to let you know where to go / not go. As a city gal, I totally passed up the street to turn on the first time. Oops!
The host is really communicative which is always great. I heard a dog bark one time (literally one bark) and I am pretty sure I heard a person say hello - but I called Virgil to me and kept moving.
Lots to smell, and is just like a trail except it’s private :)
We will definitely make the drive up again some time! Virgil had a blast. We were there about 90 minutes and easily could have spent another hour at least. There were tables and chairs throughout the sniffspot. Athena J.

FAQ about our Bonners Ferry 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bonners Ferry area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 2 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
