Beautiful property, exactly what I was hoping for. My dog loved it and is now perfectly exhausted! Amazing place for a quiet hike in nature. Signs were very helpful, the waste containers much appreciated!

Absolutely beautiful property! This location is quite remote but they have done an amazing job with the signage! No worries about missing your turn on the road or wondering where to park. Even the trails are labeled incredibly well. I felt super safe and my dogs had an absolute blast. There's a wonderful mix of open field and dense forest to explore. I will absolutely be back!

My dogs loved the open fields and the trails were so pretty with all the fallen leaves. There was a pond and thankfully I went prepared with a towel, and oh boy did I need it! My dogs had a blast, I got some lovely photos of the sunset with my dogs and everyone left a little more tired and happy.

Great spot to hike your dog. Well groomed trails and clear signage. My dog can be reactive at times and this spot allowed for a calm, stress free walk with no unexpected guests. Well, the wild turkeys did say hi, but they were well behaved! Great communication with the owner. Thanks for having us!

What a great spot ! There is a little bit of everything. Trails. Field. Beautiful trees. You can play fetch, or just walk the property. Your dog will absolutely love it. We will be back.

We had so much fun at LK Farms! Such a great place for dogs to run around and explore. Pond water is low and stinky, but my dog couldn't have cared less LOL. Nicely cleared trails through the fields and wooded area. Picked up some beef lung treats and a beef bone for the pup, which were huge hits. Also got a dozen farm fresh eggs for the humans. Delicious!

Kara P.

This is a great spot! It’s so quiet and private and so many areas for the little dog nose to be kept entertained. Trails through the forest are well cared for and super calming for the humans to enjoy too.

Kristina S.

Our dog loved it! We were a bit nervous as we don’t typically have a chance to let her off leash. But she did great and had so much fun. We’ll be back!

What do you do when you have a Husky and Lab? You take them here to make sure they will be happy and tired ♥️ Such a beautiful and quiet place to enjoy some time with your favourite furry friends.

Sabrina J.

December 2024

Our dogs had the best time and so did we! Such a huge property to explore! It was great being able to have the entire Sniffspot to ourselves. Looking forward to future visits!

Sharon S.

December 2024

I can’t say enough about LK Farm! My dog was in heaven with having many options of where to run free: huge fields, forest trails along with other more open trails. Even though it is partially fenced, there is so much space that I found it easy to keep my dog at a safe distance to me and we did some nice work on his recall. We went near but did not go to the pond as it had some snow coverage and we couldn’t see the water, but we are planning to take full advantage of that in the spring! The outhouse was a nice bonus and very clean. We ordered a bone and it was great for chill time on our 40 min ride home and it’s still going strong. Our favourite spot so far! Thank you.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
