55Porter loved being able to choose her own path through the woods via the interconnected trails. The Halloween decor was really fun; the orange and black spider was definitely a favorite for Port!Mary C.

55Dogs loved it. It was our first visit, so we kept off leash time to a minimum. Will definitely return to enjoy the scenery and let the dogs explore. Suzanne G.

55We had such a wonderful visit at marla’s sniffspot! The pups enjoyed getting the freedom to run through the woods and sniff all the new scents. It was a very quiet and peaceful location. The paths were also kept very clean in the wooded area. Very reasonably priced as well! Definitely will be coming back to visit! Especially once it warms up so the pups can swim in the river.

55Marla’s River Camp Sniffspot is AMAZING! Just what the pups and I needed! Lots of trails and exciting features, we couldn’t have asked for a better first Sniffspot experience. Marla was also above and beyond on her host duties, very attentive and responsive. 11/5 stars! Can’t say enough about this place! Kao & Fric M.

55It was cold and drizzly for our New Year’s Eve walk, but we still had a great time! Rivercamp is perfect in every season. Petey says “if you’re chilly, just dig a hole to warm up.”Tiffany H.

55It was a nice quiet spot for a dog with noise anxiety! Echo had tons of fun playing in the snow and I know she will love to come back in the summer to play in the water. Kristi M.

Sam's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Fort Wayne | Sniffspot
55Our two dogs needed to let out some energy after a few days in the car with no real chances to run and be dogs. Sam has the best Sniffspot we’ve ever been to! So much room to run and well secured by a privacy fence. Just perfect Candace S.

55This was a nice spot for the pups to run and fetch. It has a little creek beside it with lots of trees for shade. With a little clean up this spring it will be nice to walk along. We will probably be back to visit again sometime! Lisa P.

55Clean area. Fencing is great. Water & bowl to hydrate your pup. My dog sniffed, ran & played. On the way home, she laid down instead of hanging her head out the window. So I guess she wore herself out.
I would highly recommend this place for your fur baby.De C.

FAQ about our Fort Wayne 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.
