55Perfect spot to run the hounds! A mix of sun and shade. We carried water because it was extra hot on our visit, but we found the frog pond and the dogs LOVED it! It was clean, saw no garbage or poop. We saw a deer, but the dogs didn't 👌🏻 The dog kennel said hello, and our dogs ran over despite off leasing them a ways away from even the parking area. Fortunately our dogs did come back. Didn't hear them again until we loaded up at the end, but overall, not an issue. It was a great place to work on recall. We were driving from Madison to Duluth and this was a great place part-way, not too far off the interstate, to let the dogs run during a long car ride.Becky W.

55Great spot! The dogs couldn’t have been more happy to be there. Easy to get to and really easy to follow signs regarding where to park, etc., so many nice trails to wander down in addition to a huge field explore and play fetch. Can’t wait to go back!Sarah W.

55Our dogs had a blast! Great location. Wide open spaces. Shady well kept trails.
Henna and Tucker found the only mud hole…and were in heaven. They had to visit again before we left. Great times.April and Dan P.

55Henry and Hazel haven’t been to daycare or the dog park in 3 weeks due to Hazel being in heat; let’s just say it’s been pretty chaotic around here, well and loud; between the constant barking and my yelling. This Sniffspot was PERFECT!! It was wonderful; lots of space, beautiful scenery, easy to locate, clean, and easy to maneuver. The dogs really needed this; I really needed this, the house is quite ❤️. Hazels spay next month can’t come soon enough! Tracy L.

55This is exactly what my dog needs! We used to be able to go to dog parks but then had to stop because he was playing too aggressively. He is a rescue doberman and we are still working on his recall, I'm so thankful to have a place like this to go for him to run free for an hour!Ashley S.

55This was our first time using any sniffspot and it was amazing. Entering the spot was very easy and the fencing was nice and secure. This was our first time testing our dogs' recall and having the security of a fully fenced in area was a huge comfort. The spot is beautiful, well equipped with toys, water, and bug spray (which was nice as we forgot to bring any) and we will definitely be going back! Mekaela M.

55This was our first experience with sniffspot. I didn't really know what to expect, but I must say, it was a very pleasant experience. This property is beautiful, well maintained and secure. Our rescue dog is not yet comfortable around other dogs, so this was a great opportunity to work with her on some things in a safe space. I thought it was so nice that the host had benches, a picnic table, and even a hammock, along with basket of toys for the dog. Large open areas, nice shades areas, and several little trails. It's a bit of a distance for us to travel, but it was worth it. We will most likely visit again. Lisa L.

55we drove an hour and a half for this spot. even in the rain, my dogs absolutely loved it. so many places to sniff and explore. the paths are very big and well kept. i love the mix of open paths, paths through the woods, taller grass to sniff, and lots of wooded area for the dogs to run around in. i can imagine spending a lot longer there when the weather is nice since they offer so many sitting areas. will definitely be returning!

FAQ about our Sparta 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.

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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sparta 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 11 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
