What people say about dog parks around Ionia, Michigan

My dogs and I had the best time! The creek was perfect height for the both of them (one is 50lbs and one is 30lbs) and the current wasn’t too strong. The property was beautiful and well kept. As stated in the listing it is not fenced in so if your dog is not recall trained I would recommend keeping them on a long line as they do have access to the road. We will definitely be back here! Thank you!!

My dogs had the best time ever! I couldn’t keep them out of the water, except for a few games of chase. We will definitely be back!

Parker had a blast in the water! This is a great, quiet spot for you to bring your water loving pups for a swim! There were some dog toys, chairs, hammocks and tables provided. We’ll definitely be back!

Our pups had an awesome time playing and swimming at Maverick’s Dog Park! Super clean & cute. The creek is perfect for fetch and a good depth for just walking around in as well. We will definitely be back!

This was my first time giving a Sniffspot location a try and wow did my dogs LOVE this spot! Beautiful private waterfront area with lots of open space for running and play, lots of tall trees that provide shade and refreshing shallow water from the river for cooling down. There is a seating area with a picnic table and hammocks for relaxing as well! We give this experience 5 stars and will definitely be back!!

We had the best time! Easy to locate, spacious, and we loved all the amenties - especially the river access. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Our dogs loved this place and were exhausted for days after. The only thing I wish I had thought about is that the bottom of the creek has a lot of rocks— not a huge deal unless your pup plays non-stop fetch in the water. We had some tender paws, but some ecstatic pups. It was relaxing for adults too! We will definitely be back— just maybe with some pup shoes, or more mindful fetch. 5 stars for sure.

This spot is perfect. The best Sniffspot we've been to yet. Rowdy had so much fun jumping into the water, chasing balls before the current took them away, and snoofing in the grass.

Great start to the swimming season at Maverick’s spot today! This is one of our favorite SniffSpots and we always look forward to our visits. The property is well-maintained and the owner has made numerous improvements over the last year or so. Highly recommend this spot!

Private, quiet and peaceful! I liked how there was a separate driveway that led right into the yard space. Looking forward to coming back when it’s warmer to make more use of the creek. Thanks for the nice outing!

What an incredible spot. Access to a river for the dogs to swim in and a big secluded green space for them to run. There were chairs and hammocks for the humans and it was so great to not have to worry about other people or dogs around like at a public spot. Will definitely be visiting Mavericks Park again!!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this Sniffspot location, it features a delightful water setup, and it was an absolute treat for both of my Goldens Kevin and Brandon and for myself. This spot is truly a gem for dog owners looking to give their pets a fun and engaging outdoor experience.

Thank you for having us! This was our first outing with Sniffspot and we absolutely enjoyed ourselves. The dogs and kids are tired out! Here’s a couple pictures of Dewey going crazy galloping through the stream!

Wonderful chill spot!!! Beautifully maintained, the dogs loved the water!! Felt so bad we got the ball attached to the Bungie stuck in the tree, hopefully someone taller can get that out ;) we will be back LOTS!!

We’ve been here many times and keep coming back because it’s our favorite spot! Today I noticed the host has bug spray out, which is super considerate. We usually travel with our own, but very thoughtful touch, especially this time of year!

We had a really great time here! Our dogs are still nervous with water and this was a perfect place for them to test the waters. Ernie got a few swims in and Bert just stuck to the shallow parts. They loved walking around and getting all the sniffs. Thanks for having us!

This place is amazing!!! Very clean and the owner was very accommodating to us. Theres chairs, toys, and plenty of shade! Will definitely be back soon!

Great space! My dogs loved the water. It was a nice shaded spot. I was not a fan on how close it was to the road but there is nothing that can be done about that!

This is probably our favorite spot so far. Easy to get to, you pull your car right in, and you are there. The creek is clean and shallow and there is plenty of room to play catch and fetch (and the grass is neatly mowed). My dog loved it. We had one minor concern and Brandon took care of it right away.

FAQ about our Ionia 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.
