Merlin's Farm 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Mount Dora | Sniffspot
55We came to this space this morning with our two dogs, and everyone had a great time. We loved the signs telling us how to enter off the main road because we would have totally passed it. The field to run was huge. Our dogs loved exploring/sniffing the perimeter, chasing each other from one end of the field to the other, looking for lizards in the tree, jumping on the water containers, interacting with the hurdles/agility, and more. I was worried we’d see the animals, but they were so far away it wasn’t even an issue. The grass was short, there were some small bugs that weren’t bad, no mosquitos, shade was good, and it was just so peaceful. (We saw a woodpecker and other birds, a cool snail, and a couple other cool things.) The only thing that might make this better would be a couple more chairs in the same spot. Overall, it was worth the hour drive for us!Jenna S.

55Such a kind and accommodating host! Brought both my dogs this time and they had a blast!! This spot is always super clean and well kept, and very secure. My second dog can be an escape artist so I am careful with the off leash locations I take her too. She did wonderful here, though. We will be back!Lindsey H.

55Very safe and clean area for your dog(s) to roam, sniff and play ball, etc. There is a shade shelter to stay out of the sun or rain. Of course the area is also dotted with trees and 3 acres of green grass. It is that lovely, quiet country atmosphere that you will certainly enjoy and so will your pup!Sondra L.

FAQ about our Crescent City 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?
