55We come here once a week. If it wasn’t a 90min round trip, we’d come more often. The warmer it gets, the more critters we’re seeing. A pair of wild turkeys hangs out near the neighbor’s house/ the top of the timber trail so keep a look out for them since they can be aggressive, especially this time of year.

55Always love it here! Grass was a little long (it’s spring after all!) in some spots so wear pants/boots/socks and check for ticks. The trails are wide and easy to find and we had a great time as usual. Thanks again for sharing your property with us! ❤️ BuckyShannon R.

55Always a great time. With the warmer weather, we’re seeing more signs of wildlife. Bunnies, wild turkeys, frogs, a pretty big snake that thankfully wanted nothing to do with us ;) So many butterflies. Whitney M.

55Bittersweet morning as we ran for first time without Twiggy who passed last Friday. We initially came here because she needed the free running and exercise the most, she loved to run with her ball in her mouth at all times. Twiggy loved Fluffy's and we sure missed her this morning though we know she was watching us run in her honor. Thanks for having us aboard!Kyle B.

55Always a great time! Pretty sure this is my dog’s favorite place in the world. Today we spent three hours, our longest visit yet, and I think Lila would’ve stayed longer if I let her.
The ticks are definitely coming out hard this time of year so dress appropriately, and I’d recommend you have your dog(s) on some kind of preventative. Whitney M.

55Awesome!!! This place is so very nice with well kept paths through the woods. There is nice pond at the beginning of the walk. Our two Labrador Retrievers loved it and it’s so safe being on a farm and away from highways.Mike K.

55I keep insect repellent in my car. I told myself as I started my drive that I needed to make sure I used it. Of course, by the time I got here I forgot. I took home two souvenirs (I found two ticks on me when I got home). So please don’t be like me and remember to use insect repellent.
Anyway, still a great visit. Had a blast by the creek and then later I appreciated having a bench to sit on in another section while my girl got to continue playing. X. Natasha L.

55Amazing spot, can’t wait to come back throughout the winter and especially come spring and summer for the pond and greenery! I love the wide and clear trail paths, and mowed paths around the meadow area, and several benches/picnic tables throughout for chance to rest. Gumbo enjoyed racing through the trails and dipping in the creek stream. There’s a few parts of the trail with a tiny bit of incline/downhill so just had to encourage my pup to safely slow down for those parts. Thank you for generously sharing your property! And thank you for the photos of clear signage/instructions of where to go, that was helpful. Will always book a minimum of 90 minutes and probably more for future - there’s so much to explore!

55What a blessing that Camille has made her property available on Sniffspot. I love being able to hike with my dog off leash but she is dog reactive so even though she has great recall it’s not something I can really do in places where there’s a chance we might run into another dog. This is the perfect spot for giving her a chance to hike off leash. There were several different trails to explore and it was so nice and peaceful.
Also, for the trails in the woods there are markings on some trees to help ensure you’re staying on the trail. X. Natasha L.

FAQ About Ruther Glen Dog Parks

Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
