55The hosts were lovely and responsive, they had dog water and amenities clearly accessible. The property was beautiful: peaceful, clearly-marked trail, plenty of things to sniff and see. I could feel both of us relax in the space. We’ll be back for sure! Rachel P.

55This spot was great! My insecure and fearful dog loved roaming along the trail, which by the way is perfectly marked and cleared. It is an hour from my house, but I'll definitely be going back!Allison D.

55Hands down our favorite sniff spot location. Perfect place for pups to explore and humans to get a little exercise as well. Like other reviewers have said and the lovely hosts point out, there are a few spots in the fence where a pup might get out. If your dogs struggle with recall or get carried away with an adventurous spirit, then bringing a long leash would probably be smart. But my crew had the time of their lives and we will 100% be back! Bonus: you can see some goats when there!!Theresa C.

55Great amazing space! Took the pack over the holiday and they had a blast! Was a bit overwhelming for me though! We took our dogs and their bro and sis. I didn't realize how big the space was and it was a challenge to keep an eye on 5 dogs!
Thanks for a great experience, the goats and chickens where a great addition.Ann L.

55Great communication and a warm welcome was really appreciated as were the supplies available. I even forgot bags and Jasmine was kind enough to get me one from inside the house. Beautiful spot even on an overcast drizzly fall day. I had to keep my girl on the leash in some areas as she was able to shimmy under the fence at a few points and run through the brush even though it is pretty thick. I'd say off leash here is probably best for dogs with solid recall! But definitely recommend. Mimi L.

55Amazing space, Saffron was able to be off leash is a secure area and great training ground for teaching a puppy recall. Our pup enjoyed the hike around the property and got all her sniffs out. She even met the two goats on the property - a first for her. Enrique and Jasmine are an amazing couple who gave us a rundown on their property and left ice water out for our baby at the end of the trail. Amazing experience, will visit again!! Rashan K.

55jasmine was the sweetest to talk to and communicated with me before i even got there via the app. they had bug spray/sanitizer and put ice in the dog bowl. my dog is about a year old and has never been off leash. so i was worried about letting her be completely free. but the property is fenced in and it’s biiiig but small enough to where even if my dog wouldnt recall or she ran away i could hunt her down and find her somewhere within the 7 acres.
u can go even at peak sun time because there’s so much shade from the tall trees. my dog loved it here and i had so much peace of mind while working on her off leash training and just having a nice time in nature.
ps. bastrop buc-ee’s is on ur way to the area (like 15 mins out) id stop there to use the restroom since there wont be one on property!Keziah B.

55My dog loved going around the trail a couple of times. With each pass she got more comfortable exploring and it was nice to know we wouldn't lose her or have her meet some new dog in the brush. Enrique and Jasmine were very kind and welcoming when we got there and then left us to our walking. It was an excellent experience and we'll be back.Bonnie B.

55By far my favorite sniffspot in Texas yet. Host was so welcoming and informative, safety was no concern at all, and the property was BEAUTIFUL. we used to be able to hike off leash, before my dog began showing aggression towards other animals. Now we’re limited with the woodsy trail type areas we can go. We love our other regular sniffspots with open land to roam, but this just really did it for us. The fresh air and scent of the pines was truly healing. We will absolutely be back again! Kayla M.

55We had a great visit at Enrique and Jasmine’s wonderful spot! My pup loved zooming around and getting to sniff all the things without worrying about running into other dogs. They were such kind hosts and it was definitely worth the drive out from Austin! We had a very tired dog on the ride back and can’t wait to visit again! Sarita H.

FAQ About Bastrop 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.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 258 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
