55Great area! One of the trails around the lake was marked closed, so we did a few out and back laps on the same trail to use up our time. Our dog had a blast! Super gorgeous space and we will definitely be back. I would recommend wearing boots as it was pretty wet/muddy with long grass on the trails.Kayleen M.

55Such a great spot! It’s beautiful, lots to explore and I liked that there is a loop to follow. Just be careful with ticks right now! We pulled off a total of 6 from us humans and dogs. Just that time of year. Karen O.

55My dogs had a great time, nice property with lake access. Definitely would come back! The path was a bit confusing, not sure if one of the signs was just turned around or not but either way the dogs had a grand time. Jasmine C.

55Great spot for my lab who loved the water and open field next to the trail. The parking spot was a little hard to find—right off 79. I’ll be back! Kara O.

55Wonderful ample space to run around. It’s mostly open plain and rolling hills with lots of great sniffs for the pups and they had a blast running around. Kasia K.

55Navigate to Sunset Sanctuary for proper directions as instructions indicate. We loved the area! We only saw 1 person walking along the neighboring property’s fence line which was across a large field and they kept to themselves. Room for ball play and tons to sniff! Walked the lake twice slowly. Only small thing to make it even better would be a waste disposal bin so we didn’t have to take our poop bag in the car. But it certainly won’t keep us from returning. Map at the parking area was helpful, too!Jessica K.

55Great spot! Dog had a great time running around. Helpful signage, and a good length trail around the lake. As another reviewer said, keep an eye out for burrs. Hannah P.

55Our Pomsky had a wonderful time! She ran and ran and ran. It worked out fine not having a fence, she’s good with staying around us. We didn’t see any deer, thank goodness or she would’ve taken off. Well groom, trails, thoughtful signage, and lots of good smells. Even something stinky to roll in. We did two laps around the lake and that put us a little after 3 PM and we were done at 3:30. 90 minutes is a lovely amount of time. Thank you for sharing your land with the dogs!Maggie C.

55Nice walk around the lake. I thought 90 mins might be too much time but it was perfect. It had frozen the night before so the mud wasn't an issue. I'll definitely be back after it dries up a bit. Jessica S.

55First time visiting and we had so much fun! There was so much for the dogs to sniff and check out. 90 minutes was perfect for us to get around the lake. It seems like the warmer temps and snow melt has caused parts of the trail to get soft/spongy or flood. We’ll be back again as soon as things dry out a bit- this will be a top spot for us for sure!Kelsey H.

55We enjoyed this spot. Our dog is reactive, so we kept him on a leash and appreciated a little "hike" around the lake without concerns about running into other dogs. Will definitely come back.Lynn T.

55My Labrador Retriever had a terrific time on this property and there is a walking map available onsite. The path followed the perimeter of the lake so it was easy for me to follow and my dog loved dodging in and out of the brush. We will definitely be back! Julie & Jake
Note on directions - it is true that Google Maps does not correctly identify the driveway for the Sniffspot - when traveling south on Blaine Ave, cross over Highway 50 and the drive is on the right marked as Sunset Farm.Julie S.

FAQ About Farmington 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.
