55A beautiful property! The host set fresh water and toys out for us. My girl had a blast exploring in the woods and playing ball all over the property. I enjoyed the chairs in the fire pit area while she was off exploring.Melissa H.

55Preceding her high risk liver surgery, I brought Misha to Raisin’s Prairie. I was immediately blown away by how gorgeous the property is, but also by the kind heart of the property’s owners. I felt very safe allowing my girl to run and sniff to her heart’s content. This spot made for both beautiful pictures and beautiful memories. I cannot thank the host enough. 💘Chelsey N.

55Great property with lots of space for the dogs to explore. They had such a good time! Tim left a bowl of water and toys out for them and there was a hose nearby to refill water or hose down the dogs. Our first sniff spot and we’ll definitely be back!Brandi B.

55My sister and I took our two dogs to this sniff spot. Our pups loved it! It was nice to have my dog off leash in a large fenced in area that could meet his specific needs (no other people, no unfamiliar dogs, etc.) We had fun exploring, playing with the toys provided by our host and relaxing in the shades of the trees. He’s passed out next to me from playing so hard! We definitely will be back! Tara W.

55Very clean place. Provided toys, poop scoop, hose and a sprinkler which my dog had a blast with. His favorite toy was the blue Jolly Ball, my dog rolled it all over the grass and tripped over it. He ran all over the yard and through the condensed forest in the back right, sniffing everything. Came back home and he crashed. Happy dog is a tired dog. I recommend this place if you have a dog that loves to run free in a forest setting.Yeliz C.

55Beautiful area, lots to explore. We ended up putting Spuds back on a leash because there were some gaps in the gate, but if you had a bigger dog, or one who wasn't a wild animal 4 months ago that actually listens to you you'll love it there.Jeremy L.

55This place is the best! Easy to find, can drive right in and park anywhere, no stress about parking. Lot is huge and very shaded with lots to explore. It was clean and maintained. The kiddie pool is large enough to fit my two 100 pound girls. Tim is communicative, accommodating and friendly. We had a great time and will definitely be back.Ariel C.

55Our dogs had a blast at this spot! What made it even better than 5 stars is the extras the host provided, like the kiddie pool which he filled in advance and the sprinkler running which the dogs loved running through. The host was super responsive to any questions we had. This was a great experience and we hope to be back! Claire K.

FAQ about our Mount Dora small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
