My boy really loved it here - a nice mix of trails and wide open fields. Sally was quick to respond to my messages. It was so nice to see how happy Remi was to explore somewhere new. If you're planning on going in the morning, make sure to wear shoes that won't get soaked from the dew if that'll bother you. I wore tennis shoes and my feet were soaked from the field (not a complaint and it didn't ruin the visit for me - just wanted to offer the suggestion in case it's helpful). Also, the directions Google gave me had me turning too early into a driveway that wasn't the spot. Make sure you see the sign for mustang Sally's before you turn off the pain road. I will definitely be bringing Remi back! ☺️

As soon as we pulled up we saw a small herd of deer and some turkeys! It’s a rustic property with some trails and open spaces. Sally came out and greeted us and gave tips for the trails. We will be back!

I feel like you could have a different experience every time you go because there are so many things to do! So glad we booked for two hours. We had a blast!

We had SUCH a great time visiting Mustang Sally’s! Lots of trails to walk and plenty of space for fetch. Our guy Teddy is anxious around other dogs, and this was a perfect spot for him to have space to roam and explore without the stress of running into other people or pups! We’ll definitely be back.

A great spot! The trail is easy to follow and the dogs enjoyed exploring. Met Sally on our way in and she was so friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this spot and will go back again with our dogs.

Our pack had THE BEST time at Mustang Sally’s Park! There was so much room for them to run and sniff. As retrievers, they naturally found any water/mud spots 😂

My dogs and I loved it! Such a nice area and nice trails. Loved the seclusion, definitely going to come back!

The moment my boys realized they had fields and trails and tall grass to zoom through, they were off to the races. It’s a fun and beautiful place to explore, lots of shade and sunny fields. Multiple garbage cans are around and it felt like having the world all to ourselves for a bit.

A perfect Sniffspot for a hot day! Lots of shade and a BEAUTIFUL pool. The entire area is securely fenced and our pups had so much fun running and playing. We will definitely be back!

Allison was absolutely amazing. She has an incredible size backyard, which is perfect for my high energy dog. The backyard was clean. There was a seat in a table for me to sit on while watching my dog play.

Great Sniffspot— My family stopped here mid-roadtrip, as the spot is close to I-80 and our dog needed to stretch her legs. Plenty of grass, shade, a good fence, and even a swingset for the kids to enjoy!
