55Argo, Peanut, and Pip enjoyed this spot very much. They did all the zoomies and sniffed all the spots! We enjoyed the quiet and fresh air. There was even some interesting information about the different tree species as we walked along the trail! This spot was fun for both dogs and their people! Definitely will want to go again 😊Brenna D.

55We arrived late, so didn’t have time to experience all of the wonders of this property, but we had a great time with our 7 year old mucking about and learning about the flora from the interpretative signs! Needless to say, our dog was in heaven. Liz R.

55A great walk! The pathway was really easy for the humans and older dogs, while the younger dogs could dive into the forest/woods and explore more. Once you get a little onto the pathway, the unfenced part is pretty irrelevant. Great place! Natasha K.

55Beautiful trail, good time as always. Have been multiple times now and haven’t seen anyone or anything on the trail. Occasional car passes on the main road. Water bowls are always filled up at trailheads.Grey S.

55There were lots of puddle at middle of the trail, and very muddy at some points of the trail. Definitely recommend wearing rainboots and bring towels for dogs. My dogs LOVE to being muddy buddies, so they were so happy!!Akane M.

55Very nice trail! Well maintained and beautiful, lots of smells for the pups. Path is mostly wide and grassy, so also good for playing ball. Host has left poop bags, garbage can, and water for dogs which was a nice touch! We did hear a dog barking throughout our stay and a loud boom or two (gunshot/firework?). My dogs were unbothered thoughCeleste D.

552nd time here, this time in the evening. Just as peaceful as in the morning! I thought there might be more mud due to the recent rain but was pleasantly surprised there was only one puddle, with enough room on the trail that it was easily walked around. Love this quiet spot!Erika U.

55The area is very pretty shrub and tree lined for shade (important for my Akita). I can get my walking in and exercise her at the same time. Remote and distant enough for free play space. Take your time getting here so you don’t miss out on this gem.Angela V.

55A delightful spot, managed to get my pup tired. Thank you for the water at both gates. My gps took me to the house address, but if you keep going towards the left on the fork in the road, you will see the large gate to park by with a big old sign to tell you are in the right spot. I look forward to returning again and again.Sadaf H.

55Gorgeous trail out in the woods! It was very quiet and peaceful and our pup had a great time sniffing everything on the trail. Note that Google maps will lead you down a private lane that is NOT where the sniffspot entrance is - look for the signs on the left side of the road. There was one well maintained tail that starts and ends next to the roadway, and it took us just about 45 min to walk from one end to the other and back, with frequent sniff stops. Lots of trees, nice and cool on a hot day. We look forward to visiting again!Brian S.

55This is a beautiful and peaceful Sniffspot. It’s also good on a hot day, with plenty of shade after a short walk from your car in the sunshine. Keep in mind that as you reach the end of the main path, you will encounter the road again. You might want to turn around a little before that if your dog is a car chaser, as mine is. (The road is extremely quiet, but a car did pass by right as we were nearing the end of the path.) Overall, this a lovely spot, and I’d highly recommend it!Sara E.

55It was an extremely hot day. There are lots of trees on the trail, so we could get some shade. Also, two wooden benches were at shade spots. You can take a brake. Very quiet area and could hear birds were singing. It's unfenced Sniffspot, and the beginning and ending of trail were no gate and can see roads. I saw only two vehicles during our visit. other than that, it's completely fine and I could let my dogs walk with off leash. Host prepares water, a water bowl, poop bags and a poop bin. The price is very reasonable, so we can visit there many times. We definitely come back!!!Akane M.

55This is one of the best sniff spots I have been too. The walking path is lovely and lined with lots of shady patches of moss which my pup loved to lay in. One think to mention if you come in from the wire gate there is a nest of mud wasps that have taken up home so just be aware if you let your dogs run off leash. Jayne C.

55Simple and easy. The water at both ends of the trail is nice on warm days like today. Trail is very flat and free of tripping hazards. Owners clearly maintain the trail that allows you to be in the middle of nature without having nature reach out and touch you. Pup enjoyed the trail with plenty of areas to sniff!Brooke S.

55Great spot to let the dogs roam around and do what they do. Plenty of shade on a hot day. Our two dogs loved running back and forth on the main trail, and we loved the plant specific signage throughout the property. kristen c.

If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. 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.
