This is a beautiful timbered meadow Spot that's just a little ways out in the Iowa countryside but it's worth the drive. It's 13+ acres with easy access for the pet owners to drive into the area or walk along the trails. We have mowed trails throughout the clover meadows so it's easy walking. You'll enjoy the open clover meadows and huge oak trees for shaded areas. There is a secluded spot that's mowed and level with a picnic table,a fire pit and park benches, so you can have a nice private picnic down in the timbered meadow when you can book enough time to really enjoy the experience. There is a nice clean pond for your dogs to wade or swim in. With more shade around the pond. Your dogs will enjoy the dog and hiking trails around the pond and throughout the fenced meadows.

So much space for our city pup to explore! The grass is really long so make sure to wear long pants and to bring a lawn chair if you’re gonna be there for a while. We’ll definitely be back!

Great space to let your pup run! I went home with a very tired dog. Be sure to wear long pants and closed toe shoes as the field does have long grass. We will be back!

Great spot for our pup to run and sniff!! Tall grass which our pup loved to hop through and explore. Super nice host! Will definitely be back!

This is a nice large field with enough room to let your dogs run, play, and blow off steam. It is also an ideal place to take your fearful or reactive dog or to safely practice off-leash training. My dogs had a blast during their visit.

Lorrie A.

November 2021

Easy to find, well off the main roads, which made this quiet from traffic. This is a place with a kennel on site, the owner and staff will place other furry friends indoors. Made us feel comfortable as my furry pet gets anxious around others. Lot is fully fenced, and has natural high and low areas, and it is best to always walk the area with your pet first. My girl Jersey and I had a blast playing fetch and just being goofy together for over 1 1/2 hours. If your pet likes to explore and run, this will be a great place for you all. Enjoy!

Great open area, it was so pleasant on a warm day. Our dog had so much fun just exploring and playing ball. Awesome play time, clean, water available, and the fence was plenty secure for us. Thank you!

FAQ about our Winterset 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.
