55Holy cow is this place awesome. My two high-energy pups did NOT want to leave. They stood in the lake giving me puppy eyes as I was trying to get them in the car to go home lol. And this was after 2 hours of non-stop splashing, swimming, running and romping around. Beautiful property, thanks for hosting us! Can't wait to come back.Sophia L. Holy cow is this place awesome.

55We are visiting CO and decided to look for a Sniff Spot. Not only was the drive up beautiful, but the pond and field were private and peaceful. Our dogs had a blast. It was mowed and even had a bathroom! Maddie L. We are visiting CO and decided to look for a Sniff Spot. Not only was the drive up beautiful, but the pond and field were private and peaceful.

55This was a great spot. My dog had such an amazing time. There's grassy areas, plus more forested sections. The lake has a few easy access spots for dogs, plus a small stream that was also a hit. We saw a couple deer at a distance, and there was a bull or garter snake in the grass at one point for bonus excitement.
The composting toilet is very clean and convenient, especially since there's not much in the way of places to stop on the drive up.
You might want to bring sticks or floating toys for the lake, DEFINITELY bring bug spray.
We're absolutely planning to visit again!Gloria S.

55Fantastic little getaway for the dogs and the humans! The instructions were clear and the signage was very helpful. Adorable community has provided the sniffspot, composting toilet, and a table/chairs, plus mowed down some of the tall grass so there's a good area to play fetch. Thanks so much!Monica G.

55Fantastic chunk of paradise. Both dogs were in heaven. Neither wanted to leave. Nice clean area. Lovely soft silt w/o shellfish or rocks on the bottom so you can wade in and encourage the dog to come in the water.Anna S. Fantastic chunk of paradise. Both dogs were in heaven.

55I was a little nervous about the partially fenced area with deer sightings, because my dog is reactive and still learning recalls, but it was a great space. My dog loved running around and then cooling off in the pond.
If you pull into what looks like an Airbnb, keep going, it’s a little further down. The parking is a little hidden on the right across from the lake, before the field.

55I first went to this spot with a friend who had booked it for their dog. I wanted to check it out first as I have a partner who uses a cane to walk and doesn't do great on uneven ground. It's really hard for us to find locations where the dog can be off leash and are also accessible. This place is very accessible, especially since you can drive all the way in. Chair users will not be able to access all of this spot, but can access a good portion of it.
The spot is a bit of a drive from Fort Collins where I live, but the drive is beautiful and the spot is really worth it! There's plenty of space for playing or wandering. Having a brachycephalic breed, I love that there's water for my pup to go swimming or just for cooling off.
We stopped at Vern's on the way up and got breakfast. When we got there it was so nice to just sit at the table, eat breakfast, and enjoy watching our pup sniff around. We even spotted a few deer and a bald eagle. We will certainly be back for breakfast and adventuring!
Note: this spot is not fully fenced and there is wildlife in the area. If your dog does not have a good recall, bring your long line. Meghan H.

55Beautiful drive to get to this tucked away spot. The dog bags, bug spray, seats in the shade, and very clean bathroom/outhouse were appreciated!

55Absolutely stunning spot! Really nice to enjoy the space and our dogs without the worry of playing referee with strange/unknown dogs. We live 1hr away on acreage but we would still make the drive for this spot and the swimming feature! Cassidy K. Absolutely stunning spot!

55First time up for the year, we've been up before but it was last year. Absolutely beautiful spot that is worth the drive. The access to the water is great and the view is phenomenal. The cockleburs are out so check your pups coat of it's long. We did not see wildlife this time but have in the past.
So grateful to have this space so close to Fort Collins. It's by far my favorite in the area. Meghan H. First time up for the year, we've been up before but it was last year.

55My girls have so much fun here. The older one likes to swim laps near the shore and you practically have to drag her out. We love the spot and it’s the perfect place for our dogs. Isabella D.

55Very pretty spot. My dogs do great coming back when called so the lack of fencing was no problem for us. They loved the lake and running and smelling everything. There was sunny spaces to sit by the water and a huge shady area with benches to sit as well. Aliza M. Very pretty spot.

55This is a beautiful space!! I took my lab/pit mix here and she had an amazing time exploring and running around. She came home and immediately went to her bed. It takes a lot to wear this little one out and this space is big enough to do that! The lake is really pretty, my dog isn't a swimmer but she did walk around in the shallow areas of the water to cool down. There is a picnic table tucked away when you walk past the sitting area by the water, as well as another tucked away green space further past the picnic table. The drive there is absolutely gorgeous, though there are some pretty narrow spots on the road right before you get to the place, but was still able to get my mid-size truck through it with no problem. Best to go pretty slow when you start approaching the area, mostly because of the narrowness. If someone is coming from the opposite direction, someone will have to back up. All in all, a lovely experience and a great time for my pup! I hope to be back here again! Brooke B.
