55We LOVED this property! My 2 dogs had a blast exploring! Definitely our new favorite spot. As you park, grab some poop bags on the post if needed and begin your walk. It's obvious which direction to start; you're led into an open field that looks like a fun place to play games and let the kids burn off some steam. There is a porta potty and drinkable water available! Hiking was fun with varied terrain + wide trails that wind through an expansive forest. Along the way you'll find awesome pit stops like the fire pit with a huge platform of Muskoka chairs lined up. It would be a great spot for a picnic! Thank you Bryant & Brittany for sharing your incredible spot.
*One tip for future guests: I've included a picture to see which lane to choose when you turn off the highway :) You enter through Ponty Pool Facilities entrance.
See you again! Kelly D.

55If I could give this spot 10 stars I would! We booked an hour and a half, which was a good amount of time, but we will likely book 2 hours next time since I did wish we had more time (we would have loved to walk the trails again and do another loop). Clear instructions were given to find the parking lot and a map was shared, which was great as this property has so much to offer. This property has it all, huge open field, a nice long trail with offshoots, spots to stop and sit, and a port-a-potty. There were even poop bags at the parking lot! The pups had an incredible time running along the trails and into the forest, and chasing each other on the field.
The town of Port Perry is also only about 20 minutes away, which has an adorable downtown and waterfront area, and yummy food places, so although it’s a bit of a drive, you could totally make a day of it.
If you’ve been wondering about booking this space DO IT!!! I promise you and your pups will have a blast!Sarah W.

55This is a great spot! My dog loved running through the trails and going up and down the hills. There are clean outhouses for humans, water for doggos, and encouraging signs that made my whole day. The hosts were patient and answered many questions and put up with my horrible parking location choice.
We will be back for sure!Robyn G.

55This is such a great place to bring your dog. When you arrive, it’s private with no distractions. No problem finding the entrance and parking. The property is beautiful with a wide open field and forest trails. Extremely clean. We booked two hours to take our time. Our dog is reactive, so finding this spot with ultimate privacy and letting him sniff everything…he was in absolute heaven. Thank you very much to our wonderful hosts and sharing your beautiful property. It makes a world of difference for dogs that require solitude, nature and privacy. We will definitely be back soon!

55Beautiful property! This was my first booking with sniffspot. I booked 3 hours to give myself and my dogs time to slowly explore/sniff around but ended up leaving early because they were exhausted! They definitely had fun though. Would book again. Parking was easy to find with the map that was sent to me. Thank you for sharing with usErika H.

55Amazing sniffspot! There's a huge open field for zoomies with beautiful well-cleared forested trails, so you get a little bit of sun and shade. We explored for 1.5h which was the perfect timing for us. This was so peaceful and quiet, my dogs has a blast!
The entrance seems tricky but if you follow the instructions and map it makes perfect sense: drive past the silos, and look for the tall sign just inside the entrance on your right. Look up/higher if you are driving a regular car.Joyce S.

55Plenty of shady trails for the dogs to run. There are lots of spots where your dog can go out of sight so a good recall is a plus. A bug repellant is recommended as it was very buggy in the trees. Julie M.

55Great run for the doggies!! Beautiful forest and clearing for my boys to explore! They’re both having a little nap now.
If you’re directionally challenged like I am: you want to make a right pretty soon after you get to the road beyond the silos and then you’ll see the Lone Cone sign. Christine D.

55My dogs had an absolute blast today. Really enjoyed the space. Tons to sniff, lots of room to run. My only suggestion would be to maybe mark trails a little bit more because with all the leaves down I went off trail quite a few times, and got stuck in the mud and lost my shoes. I will absolutely be booking this space again. A beautiful safe place for the dogs to play.Tina C.

55We had such a great time with our sniffer! Being a senior dog, it was great that he could have the place to himself to roam at his own pace. Very secure with lots of fun places to explore. We really appreciated the full/clean water bowl and treats available. We’ll definitely be back!Lori M.

FAQ about our Kawartha Lakes 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Kawartha Lakes area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 149 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
