55Peaceful oasis with pond for swimming. Plenty of space to run around, with shade and seating available. Our 9-year-old doesn’t swim, but had a great time rolling in the grass, sniffing around, chasing balls and butterflies, and walking the path around the lake. Fully fenced. Hand sanitizer and waste stations provided. Will visit again. GINA K.

55Awesome spot! My dog had a great time sniffing and wading in the shallow parts of the pond. It’s perfect for hot days since the water keeps her nice and cool.Francie J.

55This was our first sniffspot and it has set the bar very high! We can't wait to come back! Absolutely beautiful. The dogs ran and swam. It was so much fun for us all! Clean and nicely maintained grass. Extensive seating arranged strategically throughout the area. Several dog waste stations around the property. The pond had plenty of shallow spots if some dogs aren't strong swimmers or if they just want to get their paws wet. Thank you Kathy for this beautiful area. It was well worth the hour drive to get here for us!! We will see you again! Lisa L.

55This was a fantastic place! It was so nice that the owner greets first time users and shows them around. And she was very knowledgeable about dog training and gave us some ideas for our young dog.
Our dog would definitively give this sniff spot 5 stars. She had a look of joy while running and swimming the whole time.Amy H.

55Wow. Just wow!! This place was AMAZING. The host is very attentive and made us feel very safe with the precautions in place, which is important since we have a dog who is nervous around strangers. The parking area was clearly marked, and the path and enclosed area were beautifully mowed. It was impeccable!
We had to wait for our dogs to calm down for a moment before we let them start running around because they were so excited to see the open space and pond!
They had SO MUCH fun. We were smiling cheek to cheek the whole time watching them and felt so good knowing it was FULLY fenced so securely.
I highly recommend! Lorik T.

55Awesome place. Owner was very accommodating. I'm disabled and have mobility issues. She let us drive to the pond (there's a sort walk from parking to pond). Our puppers loved swimming in the life vest the owner provided. We'll definitely be back!!Pandora h.
