55Great place to go for a stroll with my rescue who can’t go to dog parks! Pull all the way through the wooded area for a nice parking area (plenty of room to turn around). Multiple benches and various trails to follow. It’s not too far out of town but very open and private! There’s a mowed area for playing and then clearly mowed trails/paths. It is largely surrounded by more open land, so we didn’t need to worry about other dogs (woohoo!). We will definitely be going back, and I can’t wait to see how beautiful it is in the summer! Communication was also excellent—I really appreciated that. Samantha K.

55I really enjoyed this SniffSpot. It is mostly fenced but the areas where it is not can be easily avoided. The main entrance parking area is far enough away from the road that I had no concerns that my dogs would encounter it. The trails were very clear and well-maintained, and I also appreciated the trash bin for poop bags! We will definitely be back!Abby L.

55Great spot! Was to afraid to let my Boxer off leash with few openings but my Boston Terrier did great off leash. Lots of small wildlife, places to sniff and pee without worry of other dogs or people. Will visit again. 👍🏻Amber L.

55Nicely groomed trails! I keep my busy terrier on a long line because his recall skills are iffy-to-nonexistent, so the partial fencing wasn’t a concern for us. There are some gaps in the fenced part though, so if your dog doesn’t have solid recall either, I think a long leash is the way to go. I’m thrilled that this place is close enough where I can pile my dog in the car and get some good sniffs in before work! Lovely spot. Laura B.

55It’s was a great spot to let Luna run. A few comical signs around the property made us laugh. The access road is north of the driveway in a grove of tree before the next open field.Tyler P.

55Our dog loved roaming around sniffing everything. There is a very very nice trail around the property that has a good change in terrain. Perfect for an active dog! Everything is well marked and maintained well. Driveway was a bit muddy, but to be expected in the spring, we parked near the road to not rut it up anymore. Highly recommend!

55Shaggy and I had a lovely jaunt! The property is beautiful and well-maintained, and I had no difficulty finding it. It took me a second to figure out the gate latch but I got it! I kept Shaggy on his long line, as his nose is better than his recall skills, and he’s black and super fast with bionic little jumping legs. He was perfectly happy with that! Great spot, thank you!Laura B.

55A perfect place to break a really long work day up with a romp with my dogs and their BFF. Trails look amazing and always maintained incredibly. Not many know just how much work trails on a property are to keep free of fallen trees, mowed and maintained. It’s a never ending task! Thank you M & M! Heather M.

55This was a fantastic place to let our pups run! We added the golf cart and brought our bike and had 3 hours of fun. I can assure you I had some tired fur babies when we left. The owner was friendly and kind. Would highly suggest this for anyone who is interested!Taylor C.

FAQ about our Elk Mound 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?

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 38 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
