Our family and pack had such a fun time! The area was fully fenced and felt very secure. Highly recommended - we will be visiting again soon!

Great location, easy to find, and loved all the signage to help us find our way. Cleo especially enjoyed running in and out of the wooded areas along the perimeter, and, traipsing through the pond.

Great time with my family. If bringing small kids bring a stroller or something so you can open the gates, hold the dogs, and have your kiddos. Or bring more than one adult haha. My dogs did bark at the cows but they are separated and have no way of reaching each other. Great time will definitely be back

Marc was so kind and welcoming. He happened to be outside when we arrived and since it was our first time he instructed us on where to go but there are plenty of signs out that make it super easy to find the park! His property was absolutely beautiful and we had the best time! My dogs loved running in the giant pasture but mostly enjoyed swimming in the pond! There were chairs and some dog toys already out by the pond which was great! Marc was a fantastic host and we can’t wait to come back!

55Oscar and I had fun exploring part of Marc's farm! There are clearly posted signs once you reach the property, which are very helpful and appreciated. The signs show you where to park and where to walk to reach the SniffSpot location. You'll be dealing with one gate before you reach the visitor parking, and two other gates to reach the SniffSpot; make sure to be courteous and close them behind you! Oscar was fascinated by the goats as we walked to the dog area. It's a small hike to reach the dog area - maybe 5 or 10 minutes, depending on how long they want to gaze at the goats! The SniffSpot is spacious, with a little pond/marsh located inside. It can get a little muddy closer to the water, so be mindful when choosing which shoes to wear; something with good traction can help to prevent slipping. There's not a ton of shade in the dog area. I appreciated the chairs with umbrellas, but it might not be a bad idea to bring a larger shade with you, especially in the summertime. There were also some little grills and a bin with extra poop bags and a Chuck-It toy. I found the remnants of the ball nearby, so I think another dog must have enjoyed their time with it! Since the dog park area is a little overgrown, you'll want to prepare for ticks and check your dogs/yourselves afterward. I wore shorts because it was a hot day, but longer pants would probably be the smarter choice. Oscar loved splashing and swimming in the pond. There were a lot of little frogs and tadpoles! We also saw a young deer. Overall, I loved this SniffSpot, and I'll definitely return in the future. I think it would be more enjoyable when the temps aren't so high, but my dog was bored and I felt guilty. Watching him run, sniff, and splash made it all worthwhile. My only other recommendation/suggestion would be to bring plenty of towels and wipes to clean up before heading home. I'm not sure if it would be possible to offer a hose near the visitor parking for folks to rinse their dogs off before leaving, but it could be a helpful addition. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy part of your farm! We had a lot of fun, despite the day being stupidly hot. This is such a great place for a dog to be a dog. Jorden R.

Great spot. Lots of field for running and a pond for the pups to cool off in. You go through several gates to access the spot and all are well signed.

This spot was amazing! It was a bit of a walk to the pond area but well worth it! My girl got some much needed running time :) Will definitely back!

We had an amazing time! Our dogs loved every second. The hosts were so nice! This will be a monthly spot for us!!!

HUGE open field for dog to roam. Humans - wear pants and boots (the grass is tall). Will be going again. :)

Worth the drive! We drove an hour to visit Marc’s Sniffspot, and we’ll definitely be back. Out of every sniffspot we’ve visited, this one seems to be the one our dogs enjoyed the most. An hour flew by, and we decided next time we’re going to stay longer. Our pups were engaged the entire time. They loved splashing in the pond. The signage is good. Everything is clearly marked with where to go and what to do. Marc gave us a brief introduction and was very friendly and welcoming. A clear cut path kept us from getting lost. We never felt nervous when we couldn’t see the pups. Recommendations- be prepared for your dogs to be wet when you leave, bring drinking water for yourself and your pups, and pack a hat. Thanks to the reviewer who recommended wearing pants & boots. Leggings & tennis shoes work well, too. 10/10

We love this sniff spot! We have been coming about once a month and will continue to bring our dogs! There’s big open fields for them to run through and a pond for swimming! There’s also chairs near the pond and some dog toys too!

My dog and I really loved this! My first time using SniffSpot and what an amazing find!! We WILL DEFINITELY be back here! Thank you for creating and opening this place for all of us dog owners!

Great communication by the host and lots of helpful signs. My pups enjoyed running off leash in the tall grass and wading in the pond. Just a tip- might want to bring some bug spray. We had some in our backpack and it was a lifesaver!

It was a crisp but sunny day and my boys had an amazing time here. We walked a lot but they still managed to swim in the pond. It was Brady's first time here but it seemed like he knew exactly where he was. Very comfortable spot. I recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the land and not worry about what their dogs are doing. They will have the time of their life.

Another beautiful day at the best Sniffspot ever. We all got a lot of exercise as Teddy, Beau, and now Brady ran through the fields and everyone of them swam in the pond. A good time was had by all.

We had such a great time with our two dogs! They loved running around in the field and being crazy boys.

It's been a minute since we've been out there. It is as wonderful as I remember! Getting to the pond area was a little more challenging due to some new fencing but well worth the walk. We'll be back!

My dog had the time of his life! He ran top speed through the fields and splashed through the creek with my 11 year old son. An hour was not enough time so we'll have to go back to check out the pond. There were plenty of signs telling exactly where to park and walk. Just beware, it is muddy if there has been rain.

Great property! Lots of space for worry-free sniffing, running, and exploring. We and our pups will definitely be back. Good mix of open space for running. Our pups loved the tree line and creek beds for exploring, and even the tall grasses.

FAQ about our Lancaster dog parks
