55This is such a wonderful resource for dogs who cannot go to regular dog parks! I take my dog and follow the trails throughout the property and she gets so much sniff time and exercise that she sleeps for a whole day afterward! No matter what the season, its beautifual walking the trails on this property! Thank you for opening your wonderful property for us to use :)Tracy B.

55Beautiful property and a kind welcome message. Luka loved it and we’ll definitely be back. Due to a little pond on the property I just need to be mindful of the potential for thin ice this winter season. Dr. Christensen C.

55As always perfectly maintained property. My 3 Aussies love going down the hill to explore the stream and ravine area, and jumping over logs. We enjoy how quiet the area is and feeling immersed in the woods. All left happy and tired!
We were there later in the day, just before sunset. There was a good size owl sitting in a tree that flew overhead. Pretty cool to see.Molly B.

55An excellent time for the whole family. Our elderly dog loved getting to run around with our puppy and kids. Excellent acreage full of interesting and beautiful terrain for the dogs to run through and humans to hike, and the kids loved the decorations alongside the trails. Becky O.

55Super happy with our experience here. My dogs loved the hilly woods. Really nice trails to walk. I can't wait to come back with my camera, the location would be perfect for photos.
As the listing says, it's not fully fenced so you will need to leash up any dog without perfect recall. I had my boy on a 30' long line and my girl was off leash. Rebecca B.

55This property is far more beautiful than the pictures elude. Best, best experience we could ever ask for. Katie was very responsive; she gave exact, clear directions for the property's incredible trail; there's a chuck-it & mess bags--all set up for a dog--and their owner. This experience was my first; I didn't know Sniffspot existed until late last night, and have been struggling with safety in public dog parks (and dog owners). Problem solved!! Katie's place exceeded expectations & we plan to be regulars if she'll let us!!Melissa M.

55We visit weekly and have a great time! With the leaves falling, your dogs will be able to see beyond the fence and any holes in the fence much easier. It's only their sense for adventure that might draw them out, we haven't seen any people or dogs beyond the property. Lots of interesting animal smells!Hannah S.

55What a beautiful property! The trails are well paved and easy to follow. I kept my dog on a long line as she would bolt at the sight of a potential critter. 🤣 Since it’s not fully fenced I didn’t want to take the risk. But regardless, she had an absolute blast! Would definitely come back out for another visit.Heather H.

55Love this place in any weather! So relaxing to only have the two golden friends on the trails so they can chase and play without triggering dogs with different play styles. Poppy’s is heaven to both us and our pups. Thanks for your generosity in sharing this wonderful land!Jane G.

FAQ about our Belle Plaine 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 Belle Plaine 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 253 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 15 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.
