55What an amazing spot! We drove over 45 minutes and it was worth it! This is a wonderful spot with LOTS of space to explore. The trails are all labeled and intertwined so you will always know where you are. Our old girl Maggie loved being off leash and sniffing and our big guy enjoyed having more freedom on a really long leash than he usually gets on trail walks. There’s tons of amenities including poop bags, agility equipment, brushes, a picnic bench and towels in case your pups get muddy! The host takes amazing care of the trails and is so hospitable. Definitely will be back again. Jennifer P.

55What a beautiful setting! We had the most perfect fall day, the trails were very maintained, the space was spacious but not overwhelming, and the dogs had a complete blast. So grateful to these hosts for making their idyllic setting available for all. We made the trip from Chicago and we will definitely be back. It’s well worth the trip!Jamie R.

55What a fantastic fall morning my dog Reggie and I had here today. Reggie, who is a super energetic Australian Cattle Dog mix, *actually* got tired out by going through the awesome trails and playing fetch on this beautiful property! All the instructions for and the signs on the Sniffspot property were really clear, and the amenities were wonderful. It's located a little over an hour from where we live, but I'd go again in a heartbeat. Can't wait for us to go back!Christie D.

55What a wonderful place! Plenty of stimulation for your dogs with all the smells. Perfect amount of space for you and your dog to walk the trails or sit on one of the well placed benches or picnic tables and soak in the peace and quiet. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed it and was exhausted on the ride home. Carianne G.

55We had such a great time! Our dogs got a lot of burrs but it was so nice they had a brush and comb available to their visitors, so we were able to brush out the burrs without any problem. We will definitely be back!Lisa B.

55Great Sniffspot. The dogs had a blast chasing each other through the trails! The fence around the area is 4 foot wire fencing (as described). It was a really unique sniff spot and I wish it was closer to us! Thanks for letting us come on over! Amy U.

FAQ about our Marengo 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Marengo 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 168 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 32 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.
