Experience the adventure of the forest and the joy of the lake on a quiet private road in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. With 3 acres of forest to run, a lake with dock to swim, open area to play and plenty of seating to relax or have a snack, this space offers plenty to entertain both canines and their people for hours. There's a picnic table to sit and have a snack or a fire pit with log seating for relaxing (no fires please, we are in a National Forest). Park anywhere along either of the two long wooded driveways. Please no driving or parking between the house and the barn. The property is not fenced however the property is bordered by a lake on one side, blank forest land on one side and quiet neighbors on the other 2 sides who are rarely seen from our property. We also have an outdoor dog wash station, groomed trails and poop bag dispensers with a garbage can coming soon! Note: The condition of the lake varies by season and can get quite mucky at times. We recommend bringing a towel or two. We have a dog wash station coming soon!
2/8/25 We are open! Trail Conditions Report: The trails are groomed. Everything is ready for you and your pooch! Come blaze a trail through the snow! One caution,,,dogs could climb up a snowbank and get over the fence if they wanted to. Remember, WE ARE OPEN year-round, 7-days a week including holidays. To see what it's like to visit our spot and get a taste of what your dog feels like to be free - Check out the video below made by one of our guests.

Or you can search "Macklin's Day with a GoPro" on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2UmAM9ww4 Our guests describe our Sniffspot as a "Destination Spot." That is why our guests travel here from Grand Rapids, Holland, Lansing, and Kalamazoo. We have Ten scenic wooded acres (square). FULLY FENCED IN. Walk along the pond and through the trees on groomed trails. There are also yard areas and a picnic table. Beautiful and private acreage with views of a 60-acre non-motorized lake. You are always the only one on the property when you visit! Canicross and Canicross Training welcome! One lap of our outer loop (through the woods) = 1/2 mile. We are set up nicely to practice 5K.
5 acres of land for dogs to roam! A section is fully fenced in.
You can park in our driveway
We live on 5 acres not fenced in. The property buts up to a golf course. Beautiful place to walk, or train your dog. We mow about 3 acres of the 5. Snow removal is only by the pole barn. We have Rottweiler on an invisible fence. She is friendly and playfully.
18 acres with trails.
