55Gorgeous 😍. So happy I got to visit this little area of heaven with the dogs. It's fully fenced, easy access, lots of grass and sniffs and a beautiful creek for puppies that love that sort of thing. Would come again. Jill R.

55What a beautiful spot!! We walked all around the mowed areas and visited the stream twice. Lots and lots of room to ramble. The property owners seem to have thought of everything—there’s even a sitting area with comfortable chairs, water bowls, bottled water, & dog treats in a waterproof box.
The fencing was just fine and we were nowhere near the road, so it all felt very safe. Also felt a lot safer knowing that we didn’t have to worry about pesticides, polluted stream water, etc. Such a great afternoon—thank you, Marj!!Sarah P.

55This is a large, spacious property with mowed trails but also some natural areas. There is a field with a trail down to a river. Our dogs had a great time exploring and playing in the water! There is plently of room to run and go on a short hike with your dog. There is a barbed wire fence surrounding the 10 acres and our dogs are not reliable with their recall, so we used drag lines. The area was very private and the only other occupant we saw was a deer! This is definitely worth the trip and we will be going back. One thing to note is that there are two driveways to the property, the Sniffspot entryway is the driveway without the mail box and there is some signage. I'm bad with directions so Marj helped me find my way.Catherine C.

55Beautiful mowed walking paths that lead to the river! River was clear and the dogs loved romping in it (and the mud lol) & finding deeper spots to swim! We definitely will be back! Danielle H.

55Loved this spot! 100% will be coming back. My dogs had a blast, favorite feature is the river/creek that they can swim and cool off.
Not too bad as far as mosquitos go, we did have some ticks so definitely have your dogs on prevention. It is completely fenced but the fencing is Barbed wire fencing so it is not secure, your dog will need excellent recall or a long line. Melissa D.

55Really wonderful spot! Lots of room to run and sniff and get muddy. My only concern was the barbed wire found around most of the property. I kept my dog on a long line when we were near the barbed wire just to be safe and it was easily avoidable. Other than that the river is nice to play in and the mowed trails are lovely! There was nearby road noise and you could see cars driving past so if that is an issue for your pup beware. The owner sent me a text before I arrived and was very kind. Sophie G.

55Ok; I’m gonna come right out with it: THIS PLACE IS AAAAAMAZING!!!! We booked for 3 hours and asked Marj twice to extend; wound up staying for 6!!! hours.
I uploaded pics. I cannot rave enough: this is a gorgeous spot on this earth. The river is perfectly safe! Marj has chairs and water out. The poop receptacle is right there.
Folks commented that it would be good if dogs have a strong recall. I would agree. Some of the fencing is barbed wire. This was not once a problem. Parking is super easy. The trails are all mowed and there is plenty, plenty to walk. I just grabbed one of the chairs and sat by the river. What a way to spend a day!!

55This is our first Sniffspot and we loved it! Trails were nicely mowed which made it easy to walk around. The host has some chairs out with some water bowls and bottle water for the dogs as well as a container with some treats, first aid, dog brush, etc. There isn’t a clear way to get down to the river- however that didn’t stop my dog or boyfriend from hopping in. Just have to go into the brush a bit. Will bring water shoes next time for easier access in and out. We will for sure be back :) Kayla C.

55Once my pooch figured out she didn't have to stay on the mowed trails, she was bounding all over the place on the hunt for whatever she could smell. She doesn't do water, so we didn't make use of the river, but she kept herself busy exploring other areas. Having this spot available for a dog reactive pooch is a wonderful thing. Thank you to Marj and her family for sharing this space!Heather S.

55This SniffSpot is super great! Lots of open room to sort of roam wherever. There are some trails cut in the grass to help you navigate down to the water. Most of the water access points aren’t super cut so you just need to walk though the tall grass to get to them! Keely L.

55Beautiful farmland that is right up against the river. It is like a little bit of heaven. Big pastures, lots of open space for the dogs to run and play. I really appreciated the mowed paths for walking. We will definatley rebook this location. Carolyn M.

55Very private and secluded. Paths were mowed through the grass. The terrain could be challenging for some but my dogs had a great time. Make sure your flea and tick prevention is up to date. It is a country prairie. The setting does include old abandoned buildings. Also, be aware there is burdock on the property. Your dogs will love the freedom!Nora E.

55Fun spot with lots of tall grass and a nice creek to sniff around in. Water is clean and the field is fresh. Perfect if you want to let your pup run on a long line or you've got a solid recall. Easy to navigate terrain with little to no holes and a slight hill to the creek, but would highly recommend boots, bug spray, and long pants to keep pesky insects off. Be prepared to have a very happy and probably a little bit muddy pup! Zoë B.

55Slice of heaven right outside Hudson! We loved wandering the field and the land right along the river bed. We even got to see a deer jump over the river with a baby fawn close by. Our dog loved it and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car - a sure sign of an awesome time! Olga T.

55WOW so much room to run run chase run! Love being able to park on the grounds. The chairs, dog water, poo bags, garbage, toys are so well located in the middle of the property. The entrance to the property is easy to locate and marked with a SniffSpot sign. The best for me and Abby, not so much Travis, is the River. Abby loves to swim and Travis loves to chase her along the shoreline. We’ll definitely be back! Woof woof. June T.

FAQ about our Houlton 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.
