55This place is a real gem for outdoor adventure enthusiasts! The unmarked and ungroomed trails call for your best gear. 100 acres to yourself in Muskoka is a rare delight! Peaceful and wild, but just 15 minutes to the downtown strip where you can grab a bite to eat after working up an appetite in the forest. Julia S.

55It was great, this was the first time testing our husky off leash. He has a decent recall and stayed close enough to us the whole time. It took us 45 minutes to walk the trail. Our dog was extremely tired towards the end that he ran up to the car and just waited for us.
I would suggest bringing hiking shoes and bug spray. It rained a few days ago and there was one spot that had quite a bit of mud on the trail. Definitely also need to bring a towel for their paws because of the doggy splash pond. Amanda S.

55Our first time going to SafeK9 Private Dog Park & Trail and it was a great experience, would 100% recommend it. Our dog loved it, especially the splash ponds and all the forest so she could explore without any other distractions of other dogs. The walk took us about an hour and our pup was tired out by the end of it. It was all fenced in so we didn't have to worry about her running away or running into other dogs. We will be going back again and again that's for sure. Outstanding job on creating this trail:)Rachel A.

55We couldn't have had a better first Sniffspot experience! Cathy was very friendly and even filled a couple pools for Dax to cool off. The trail is clean, a mix of gravel and bush with 2 ponds. The area is completely fenced so we were able to let Dax off-leash for the first time and he loved it. He also had a great time in the ponds, he's never been a fan of water until today. We can't wait for our next visit!Tracy J.

55We had so much fun! The trail itself is well maintained, the little ponds on the property were a great place for the dogs to cool off, and having the hose right near the parking area was great because we could wash off some of the mud from their fur after our hike. The dogs had a blast - definitely fully fenced & wonderfully maintained. We wish we were closer so that we could come more often! Louisa S.

55Lost my Husky Emi a couple of times into the woods and within 15 minutes she was back - perimeter fence works great and its wonderful to let her off leash without worrying about her pulling a "Littlest Hobo" on me. The lab found the cooling ponds before we did - I heard a splash and when I caught up with him, he was diving and having a great time! We will be a regular to this spot!Jay P.

FAQ about our Lake of Bays 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lake of Bays 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 7 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
