Lazy Bones Acres offers 5 acres of wooded hiking trails for you and your furry companion to enjoy. Pack a lunch to enjoy on one of our picnic tables along the way or simply take in the peacefulness of the forest and wildlife. Listen to the squirrels chase each other in the tree tops, the woodpeckers pecking away in a nearby tree, or the geese honking at a nearby pond. Wildlife that are commonly seen on visits include deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, chipmunks, a beautiful array of wild birds, and much more. *Our terrain is uneven as it goes through woods. If you have trouble with balance or walking, please reconsider your visit to our property for your safety. Trails are kept clear, but raspberry and blackberry bushes present thorns, please use caution with these prickers. ** Our spot is fully fenced, however if your dog is not command trained we do not recommend letting them off leash. Dogs have a natural instinct to chase the rabbits and squirrels we have.

Come and let your dog explore, play, and swim on our beautiful family farm. Our farm means the world to us and we think you will love it just as much. Our farm lies on 16 acres in Bull Valley, Illinois. Although it is not fenced in, our property is doggy heaven for dogs trained to be off-leash. Come take a walk, bring a frisbee/ball, or just come let your dog sniff and explore. Please do not go into the land beyond the caution tape and signs. That is not part of our sniff spot. We have many farm animals on our property as well. Please be respectful of our property. We take pride in our farm and love sharing it, but we want to keep it beautiful. Entry in any of the barns/buildings is prohibited. Please remain in the back of our property. We do live on the property and appreciate our privacy. FYI, this is a working farm. Sometimes as you are pulling in, there might be cars/people in the barns and lot. Please keep that in mind as you are arriving and if your dog is reactive, bring a leash until you can get into the back field.

This property has plenty of space, a lake with a little beach & a bridge to a little island. My dogs loved walking amongst the trees along the lake.

Annabel J.

October 2023

Beautiful and right on a lake. My dogs had an amazing time running, sniffing and jumping from the bridge into the lake. Most definitely will be back!!

November 2023

This is definitely one of our top Sniffspots! The spot is beautiful, well-maintained, and huge. There was more than enough space for our 2 Great Danes to wear themselves out. In fact, our male Dane usually isn’t really active but he was prancing around the whole time. They loved running into the water, taking a drink, then running around the property again. We met Christie and her two children during the end of our visit after they asked if they could see the dogs. Of course, we obliged and the dogs continued to play with the children. Highly Recommended and will return!

Lots of space for dog to sniff as well as play ball. Clean area. Is mostly fenced except for driveway entrance. Kept long line on when exploring. Would recommend and will come back again.

Second time here. Nice open area for Maddox to explore. Geese were in and around pond but Maddox ignored them.

This is our favorite Sniffspot! We use it weekly and our dogs love it so much they start freaking out as soon as we get within a mile of the location. It’s always clean and well maintained. The water is clean and starts out shallow enough that the pups can romp around in it. We are so grateful this spot exists!

This spot is incredible. Gorgeous, wide-open spaces for fetch and exploring, and the area was nice and clean. The host is also very kind and communicative! We saw lots of geese and ducks during our visit. It was also an amazing opportunity for offleash training. The property is near a busy road, but the yard is large enough that you can stay far away from the fence and still have plenty of room to romp. If I could give more stars, I would!

Nat C.

Beautiful spot! My boy had a great time! This was my first time using this service and I will definitely be booking again. It was beautiful seeing my dog be a dog, thank you!

This is our favorite spot. Lots of space to play. Very clean grass for dogs to run around beside a lake.

April 2024

This was absolutely a beautiful location that we will for sure be visiting again! Stubbykins saw chickens for the first time, and even though she was scared at first, she got used to them. The lagoon was beautiful as well, we got the swim pass so Stubbykins could swim in the lagoon. She loved it so much that she got the zoomies in the water. The big pile of dirt was also a big hit for her! Just a few caution for anyone's pets, there were a few wrappers on the ground with snacks still inside them that we picked up so Stubbykins wouldn't eat them. This location is close to a very busy road with a fence that won't keep pets in, and while we were there, the domestic geese were free to come and go from their pen. All of these things won't stop us from coming again, they are just precautions for anyone thinking of coming to this location.

Thank you for sharing this space with us. The dogs and us greatly appreciated it and we will be back in the summer for more swimming!

FAQ About Plainfield Dog Hiking Trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 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.

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?

Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
