55A beautiful property and I visited on a gloomy end of winter day. I cannot wait to visit when the trails around the property are in full bloom. A safe, clean, and beautiful property with unique features to explore. If you have a Velcro dog like I do, bring a comb as there are a few burrs. The host provided all the amenities you could need and answered all my questions. Definitely worth the drive! Jenna E.

55March 4th - Sun was shining so the ground is muddy. Lots of fields to run in without mud even if it was wet. Be sure to bring towels. This is a lovely spot for runners. Huge open fields mixed with some paths would make it fun to bring a chuck-it. My three dogs loved it. Out-house and fire pit were in a gorgeous spot. I do don’t even make it to the pond on this visit! We will be back. Linda S.

55Very thoughtful of the host to let me know that she had set up a dog wash station because of how muddy all of Ottawa is right now, among other considerate details.Jeremy H.

55So much space for running and playing. My pup had so much fun in the grass and pond. Bridget was super helpful in guiding us to where we were supposed to go. I did find a tick crawling on me afterwards so make sure to check yourself and your pup after! Overall definitely will be returning and recommending to other dog parents! Madeline W.

55Awesome first visit, we'll definitely be back. The spot was very easy to find and the parking area, trail and pond are really well marked. Huge amount of space for the dogs to play fetch, chase and sniff and it's very clean, there's even an extra garbage far back on the trail. The outhouse and fire pit are a really nice touch. The hosts obviously put a lot of thought into this spot.Shona F.

55Easy to get to, private, lots of land to let the pups run, (if you need a pup on long line to practice recall or if you have a runner this is the ideal place)
Outhouse available if needed, extra poop bags and a garbage on the trail.
Main trail is gorgeous for pictures!
Host was responsive via messaging.
Highly recommended this sniff spot. We will be back! Leeann H.

FAQ about our Inkerman 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.
