55The area is huge and peaceful and our golden retriever Henry loved running all over the place and retrieving balls. The agility equipment is awesome. There’s plenty of seating for humans and even a shelter for inclement weather. We appreciated the clock in the shelter, it helped us keep track of our time very easily. We will definitely visit again, it’s a great dog friendly and people friendly spot that is well-maintained and clean. The owner’s attention to details like the clock, signage with instructions and the cute signs are welcoming and helpful. Easy to replenish the water bowl with water from the large cooler jug. Thanks a bunch.Jackie D.

55We. Love. This. Spot.
We are visiting family in the area and needed to find a play place for our reactive (but super sweet!) boy, Ollie. Sweetbay Farm popped up and we had to check it out. Honestly, it’s the best Sniffspot we’ve been to for a million reasons.
There are toys, treats, water bowls/water, agility equipment, and SO MUCH SPACE. Ollie was obsessed with it and loved seeing the horses, too! We had such a blast that we booked again for tomorrow!Chelsea W.

55Beautiful open pasture. My dogs loved the agility equipment and toys available for them to pick out and play with. There was some poop my dogs found, not surprising with the size of the pasture. Appreciate the extra poop bags and trash bins as well as the water cooler for the water bowls. Easy to find, great parking. Therr are gaps along thr bottom of the fencing. My little dachshund mix who is shorter than a Yorkie found a way out. However not a concern with her as she is use to horses, she is dog friendly and won't run away. But important for those with dogs who like to find ways out and are runners. We will def be back again and I have even mentioned this to a few of clients that I hope to take with as well. Great spot for raining days as there is also a run in shed. Great place to hostel a doggy birthday party, do meet n greets as well.Lori B.

55Had a great time trying out the agility equipment! The horses whinnied a bit and got my dog’s attention, but they were at a good distance to watch but not be scary or distracting. Will absolutely visit in the future - new favorite sniffspot! Kelly W.

55We will definitely return again! The space is a nice open and lightly rolling field that is fully fenced with both a shaded area and two outdoor seated areas to sit. Host provided water for the dogs and some dog toys, and there is a wonderful agility course as well. There are some farm animals in sight but they are really far away so even reactive dogs are unlikely to be bothered. There is little to no car or people noise at all, and the view is beautiful. The host clearly has taken the time to add welcoming touches to this space including a well labelled parking area and welcome signs.Kristen J.

55Such a great property! We had a large group of dogs and the host was more than willing to accommodate that! The pups had a great time! We brought toys but there was more than enough available from the host as well as towels and water and a bowl. Andrew a.

55I have a rescue Pittie with a long trauma history. Two weeks ago another dog attacked him and my partner while they were on a walk. For years, I’ve struggled with dog parks and wanting to give him the space to run around and be a happy dog he deserves despite his trauma. I’m a cryer & naturally lose it at those lost dogs reuniting with their owners YouTube videos already but Damnit did I sob seeing how happy Bam Bam was today. Absolutely signing up for a monthly membership. Thank you!Kelsey D.

55Lots of space for running around and multiple seating options, including a covered shelter area where I was glad to take some breaks from the freezing wind today. Fresh cooler with water to refill the water bowl. And we hope to be able to do more with the agility equipment on our next visit.Kellyn M.

55My corgis loved all the open space and the new "sniffs." My 5 month old puppy, Titan, even completed some of the agility ramps! I love that the area is fenced in with ample room for running around. The field was well taken care of and clean. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this sniff spot to our friends with their dogs!Brooke H.

FAQ about our Falling Waters 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Falling Waters 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 80 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 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.
