55Trails were well marked and well maintained! While the property is closely situated to the road, the trails immediately lead you away and down into the forest. Very quiet and secluded! Jessica W.

55We had a great time! Martin is very friendly and accommodating, greeting us on arrival and providing a map of his well maintained trails. There was so much to explore and our dog is exhausted after all the sniffing and running around he got to do in a peaceful, safe space. Looking forward to future visits!Danielle L.

55Another wonderful visit! We love this spot. Great, well maintained trails, lots to sniff and explore, no sign of humans or dogs to set my girl off.
This should be expected in an Ontario spring but just in case it’s not: this is your reminder to wear something waterproof on your feet, as some areas are muddy and/or wet.Erin and Jason B.

55A beautiful and well maintained property! My young dog and I had a lovely morning hike here. The hike was calm and quiet, except for the birds singing. The trails are fun to explore and easy to navigate with the helpful map provided.

55Our pups had an incredible time exploring Martin’s trails. The trails were easy to navigate, well marked and exactly what we expected based on the description provided. The views were beautiful and it felt very secluded and safe. We felt very comfortable having our 3 dogs off leash in this setting.
Martin was also kind enough to come greet us and answer any questions. Would absolutely recommend this spot to any guests looking for a great hike. Julia R.

55This was only our second time going to this sniffspot, but my dog made herself at home right from the get-go. She happily ran around the trails, and enjoyed getting herself muddy. Since I’m not so found of getting muddy, I appreciated the stepping stones in the muddiest parts😀. I now have a very happy, very tired (and dirty) dog, but n complaints here. Much more fun than walking the city streets. I also appreciate the owner’s blogspot, where they get us up to date on what they are doing to the trails.April T.

55We were visiting from out of province and this was the perfect spot for decompression walks. My dog especially loved the marsh and pond. As to be expected in early spring, there was mud in places, so waterproof footwear would be useful. We went twice because it was such a lovely place. Would definitely return. Rachael C.

55We had a great time visiting this Sniffspot. The area was nice and quiet, and the property was beautiful. There are plenty of different trails to go down. My dog absolutely loved it and we can't wait to come back. I would recommend wearing waterproof footwear as some places were fairly wet or muddy due to the season. Sam H.

55My new favourite spot! You can tell that the owner put so much effort into his property and it’s absolutely gorgeous. My dog had an amazing time splashing in the mud and water. We booked an hour time slot which was enough time to walk the majority of it, but next time I think I will book 2 hours. Definitely recommend! Thank you for letting us use your beautiful space!Allexia C.

FAQ about our Waterford 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?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 174 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
