55We love this spot so much. Please be aware that you need to have an extra layer of protection against ticks! I soak my dogs in wondercide. It helps tremendously. Despite brushing 15 micro ticks off my dog, it is well worth it! Just be prepared.
55Always a great time here. The BEST fields to play fetch in.
55This was a nice spot. There was no water bowl as stated in the listing, but if we come back we will bring our own bowl for our water!
55Great property and will definitely be back!
55Clear signage for parking and trails. My dog had a great time exploring. A beautiful property.
55Our large dog enjoyed running up and down the trails and into the many side trails that connect the main one. The outing made him tired and happy! The ground was very uneven on the side trails but very flat on the main trail -if you have walking issues, stick to the main path. No-go areas were clearly marked. There is also a large field by the parking so next time we will bring his ball although he found many sticks to play with! We will be back soon!
55I absolutely love this farm! Haven’t been in a year and the property is still so pretty and well taken care of. My two Great Danes love being able to run free and just be dogs! Great way to get my steps in for the day too
55My dog had the best time here! Plenty of open space for them to roam through. Paths were clear and clean.
55My pup was a big fan of the creek! Trails were on the shorter side, but still enjoyable. We took a minute to see the goats. Definitely come prepared for your pup to get muddy and have a blast!
55Easy to book. Well maintained paths for me and the dogs, or just me as the dogs are out in the tall grass having a great time! Peace of mind that the booking time is reserved and the possibility of running into other dogs who may be less social is eliminated. Will go back again and again and again!

Description

Come and let your dog explore, play, and swim on our beautiful family farm. Our farm means the world to us and we think you will love it just as much. Our farm lies on 16 acres in Bull Valley, Illinois. Although it is not fenced in, our property is doggy heaven for dogs trained to be off-leash. Come take a walk, bring a frisbee/ball, or just come let your dog sniff and explore. Please do not go into the land beyond the caution tape and signs. That is not part of our sniff spot. We have many farm animals on our property as well. Please be respectful of our property. We take pride in our farm and love sharing it, but we want to keep it beautiful. Entry in any of the barns/buildings is prohibited. Please remain in the back of our property. We do live on the property and appreciate our privacy. FYI, this is a working farm. Sometimes as you are pulling in, there might be cars/people in the barns and lot. Please keep that in mind as you are arriving and if your dog is reactive, bring a leash until you can get into the back field.

Hazards
