55Great spot to let the pups run and explore! They loved playing in the creek! We have one pup who is reactive to strange dogs so having the peace of mind that we had the place all to ourselves was fantastic. He got to run and play without a worry in the world. Jenny C.

55This was our first experience with Sniff Spot, and we couldn’t have been happier! Our host was wonderful to work with, and takes excellent care of his property. Our dogs got to play in the woods and in a creek, and lived their best lives. We will definitely be regulars with Dave! Steph M.

55This was a a great place to go especially if you have a dog that is aggressive due to high anxiety of other people. It allowed us to work with Junior on a leash and also reward him with having fun running through some trails. We will definitely be going back often. It was worth the drive from Olathe to Smithville.

55Great trail for humans and dogos! Everyone was happy to enjoy the freedom of being off leash. Just be careful where you park. There’s a ditch that we go stuck on because of the mud. Karolina P.

55Beautiful, hilly glade setting. Spring flowers are just getting started. Quiet and plenty of room to run, splash and sniff all over. Our dogs loved it, we will be booking again. Ann F.

55What an incredible property! To start with, it’s just a beautiful spot for humans to hike. So many natives were blooming during my visit - saw countless wild phlox, wild ginger, trout lily, mayapples and pawpaw. And our dogs had a blast - the creek was flowing, and they enjoyed dunking themselves to cool off. The trails are really fun and full of a lot of elevation change. Felt very secluded. We even saw deer hop over the creek (my dogs were excited but didn’t give chase; something to be aware of). Chhaya K.

55Fantastic place to take your pups. Your dog can be a dog and roam everywhere. Trails are a variety of intermediate to a little strenuous, you choose. If your dog loves the water, there is a pretty continuous stream with no signs of the harmful algae so I felt comfortable to let my Aussie wade all through it. Terrific place if you love the outdoors. Use Apple Maps if possible. Google maps will take you down the wrong road. Dave was a great host, very responsive when Google maps took me t down the wrong road. Thanks Dave! Highly recommend! stephanie k.

55Beautiful day to hike and play in the creek. Dave was so hospitable and gracious with his wonderful property. My reactive Rottweiler enjoyed time on his long lead and was so relaxed. I was able to relax as well knowing no other animals or people would be around the corner. Thanks Dave! We will be back!Lindsay S.

55A good drive from KCK but worth it. I’d like to come back and stay much longer. Junk yard view at one point, with some industrial noise; probably would be disguised in summer. The trails aren’t marked and they go all over the place and I found that stressful, worrying I might get lost. I made us little signposts with fallen wood as a guide for getting back. Importantly, my youngest and oldest had a blast (I should put a bell on all of them. I brought along a bag to carry my middle kid when she needed it. It’s fairly rugged and I liked that but might be tough with little human kids. Dave called to give better directions than my GPS would have and that was kind and useful. Definitely a place I’ll return to with my youngest and I’ll give us more time to explore.Tracy M.

FAQ About Smithville Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private 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.
Are 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 much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 11% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smithville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 192 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 344 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
