What people say about dog parks around Thurmont, Maryland

Peaceful and a large area. The area does have pretty much nothing but tall grass - no issue for my dog - but if your dog doesnt like that it's something to consider. The horses milling about behind their fence was a source of delight for Gilly, who'd never seen one before. She ran along the fence following them as they trotted back to their barn. We also saw a deer!

Wonderful place for me and the kids to enjoy off leash time with our older dog. I will say that at first the buzzing from the power lines was unnerving. But Lucy didn’t have a worry in the world. She mostly enjoyed being off leash exploring and smelling alll of the smells. We will definitely be back for some special time as a family. Thank you!

We love this place! This was our second visit and our dogs were giddy with joy. Really appreciate all the little touches— clean toys, clean water bowl, handy poop dispensers, new latch on the main entrance, and even cute decorative touches. The horses on the other side of the fence came over to say “hi!” Even though our dog barked they were totally cool. The beautiful country setting is so relaxing. Thank you Sara!

This was a great open area to let our dog run. The fence was more than adequate to keep her safe, we had no worries of her getting out. The spot has water, toys, snacks, bug spray, bags for clean up, chairs and shade/shelter. There are buzzing power lines overhead, nothing that would keep us from returning but just be aware that they are there. We definitely hope to return with some “playmates” in the future!

Wow, what an incredible location for dogs and people too! So scenic, yard was clear of debris and the toys and agility equipment were awesome. My young pittie absolutely loved this spot and successfully tried some of the agility course. She didn’t see one of the horses at a distance until we were getting into the car to leave but hoping she’ll see them in our next visit. My GPS directed me to the wrong house but Sara quickly responded & directed me to their farm. She was also gracious when I told her that one of the chuck it balls got split when my dog caught it. Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful place for our pups to run and play.

Couldn’t think of better way to spend time with my dog at a spectacular Sniffspot on a gorgeous fall day!

My partner, dogs, and I recently moved to Colorado from Frederick and we’re back for a short visit. Sweetbay was a must visit for us while we’re in town (we’ve been three times in four days) and it just keeps getting better. It is the best sniffspot we have ever been to and our dog’s comfort spot away from home. Thank you Sweetbay!

This is always a great sniffspot and I was pleasantly surprised to see a few ‘upgrades’ to the property! It was already great and now it is awesome!!

My navigator directed me to the wrong place so make sure to follow the signs for flooding if you can’t find the spot. Despite our delay in finding the sniff spot, my dogs had a wonderful time and the host was very gracious and timely with her responses.

Everything was great! There is everything you would ever need for your pup there for you. Comfortable atmosphere and beautiful scenery. My dogs had a blast and were pooped for the rest of the day!

This site is wonderful! It’s a very large open pasture, with plenty of of space for the dogs to run, play, and explore. Our dogs had so much fun goofing around the agility equipment, looking at horses, and playing with an ample supply of frisbees and balls. The host really pays attention to detail! Lots of thoughtful touches like signs, poop bag dispensers, a whiteboard and much more. We really enjoyed the beautiful setting! Hope to return very soon!
