Wowee! This place is paradise! Yes the property is massive and yes it’s entirely fenced in. Joe was there to meet us and was very pleasant to chat with. They run a full boarding and grooming service in addition to this 20 acre private dog park at this location. It was nice to have the host there on site. We had the entire dog park to ourselves. The spot was very clean. I didn’t find any dog mess and the lawns were all trimmed. There was a garbage can near the pond that was handy after cleaning up after our dog. Looks like a refreshing swim spot for the warmer months. There are plenty of large lawn areas that were dry and great for running. You may want to bring boots to explore the entire property - especially if it has rained recently. Joe offered a warm water hose to clean our dog’s paws before leaving. Our dog wasn’t that muddy so we passed, but what a great host! It’s a short detour from I90 and was a spectacular break on our road trip through Erie. We were able to spend the entire hour walking through the pathways, playing ball on the lawns, and exploring the property. We will be back. Happy dog!

What an amazing space. My two dogs loved running around and playing and exploring. I will def be back. But with coffee and boots lol.

The dogs had a great time! With the whole area being fenced it was nice to let the dogs be able to run off leash and not worry about them. There was tons for them to explore and I don't think they even checked all of it out. It's a nice mix of mowed areas and paths but also longer areas that the dogs enjoyed crittering in. They enjoyed the pond area as they like to swim. Joe was there to greet us which was very helpful to get the details of where everything is. There was a hose available to rinse the dogs off as well. Overall, they had a great time, came back tired, and I could really enjoy letting them run in such a large area, which is a rare treat, without worry because of the fence.

Plenty of room to run around for my doggies! Plus a nice pond that my older dog couldn’t resist to swim in!

Our dog had a great time in this spacious fenced in area which included walking trails, and a pond that we thoroughly enjoyed. Will be coming back soon.

This place is awesome! We have a high energy one-year old mixed breed. We were able to let her burn off some steam and enjoy all the scents without worrying about her running off or encountering other dogs! It’s a lovely fenced area with grassy paths, ponds, fields and even a picnic table where you can rest while your pup explores! Highly recommend!!!

Endless fun for my dog! Lots of different trails and smells. More than enough space and the fence is very secure all the way around.

This place is doggie heaven! We stopped by for a break during a long road trip and it was so worth it. Very close to the 90. My guy has never had so much room to run free. Tons of room to explore and very safe. We will absolutely be back!

Host Joe was able to meet us and show us where to go. The area was pretty muddy in places, but our dog loved that even more. My only negative is that the entrance gate is beside their outdoor boarding area. There are tall metal fences between the two areas, but the dogs in boarding certainly can be heard barking which did trigger my sensitive & reactive little dog. (We’re working on that!) Secured fencing and plenty of space to play. Swimming dogs might even like a floating toy to retrieve from the nicely maintained pond. Wish there was a side entrance away from boarding area.

We visited this sniff spot twice because it was incredible! It is absolutely huge, our dogs loved swimming in the pond and romping around. We will absolutely be back!

FAQ about our Erie dog hiking trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
