55SashaBear and Max had the pleasure of being the first guests at this new Sniffspot.
Quiet country setting with about 4 acres of trails and 1 acre of mowed grassy area. The trails were a excellent workout for all of us. The snow was making the ground a bit muddy but I came prepared with waterproof boots lol.
Can't wait to see the beauty of this place once spring gets here! Within our hour we spotted deer and a huge group of turkeys!
If you have dogs with good recall, high energy and want a good hike for yourself, this acreage checks a lot of boxes! Hosts were excellent communicators and very nice. My pictures don't do this spot justice! Tess V.

55We had a blast here! Plenty room to run, plus lots of trees and other obstacles to practice nature agility or other fun doggy antics. Clean, very helpful hosts, easy to have fun here. My dog and I enjoy rougher terrain, and this has that option as well as nice and flatter trails - something everyone can enjoy here.Melanie Y.

55What a fun yard with lots of little areas to explore! We love playing “find it” with our dog, so all the different sheds and pockets of woods worked really well. And the creek was cool! There is plenty of mowed, grassy areas to play fetch as well. The house is far back enough from the busy road that we weren’t worried about that. Jenn R.

FAQ about our Elk River 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?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 287 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
