55This spot is perfect! My labs loved swimming in the creek and the trails made for a super fun and enriching experience for my 3 boys. The host also graciously left a few toys for us to use, which I especially appreciated because I forgot to bring a tennis ball (a cardinal sin in my house). This was a wonderful place and I will be returning!!Caroline M.

55Place was great— I kind of thought the path ran into the river, but it runs alongside the trail, and that was fine because my dog didn’t get wet! Awesome trails and private area. Host was also extremely responsive.Emily K.

55The trails are short and there’s not a super clear way down into the water, but overall a super cool area and the dogs had a blast. Very quiet and secluded. Abbie V.

55Wow!! My dog and I had such a great time here!! It was so nice to have my dog off leash and let him run and roam around! He was so nervous to get in the river at first and by the end I had to drag him out! I loved that down the path there was an opening with fire pit, chairs, and an opening to the river. The signs were also very helpful! This is on my way to my parents house and I can’t wait to come back! Thanks for sharing your space with us!Annie H.

55My pups and I had a great time checking out the river trail path! The banks to the creek are a little steep, making it difficult for my small dog to get in and out unassisted, but she still got to play. The creek was incredibly clear. We pretty much stayed on the river path, I wasn't sure if there were other areas to check out or not. They dogs definitely enjoyed the space to run and sniff. Betsy X.

55My "city" dogs had a wonderful time in this little piece of heaven. It's a great location - convenient and easy to get to but once you're there, you feel like you're far removed from civilization. My dogs were thrilled with the all-you-can-sniff buffet and listening to the birds and sounds of nature. The host is wonderful and will be seeing more of us. Can't wait to see how beautiful this spot is in Spring and Fall. Tom K.

55Dogs had so much fun! Swam almost the whole hour in the river. HUGE backyard and toys supplied, with some chairs down in the open “landing” spot near the end of the trail. Will be going back!Madelyn D.

55Amazing spot! The river trail was beautiful! my dogs spent the entire hour and a half running up & down it and splashing in and out of the river. We enjoyed sitting in the provided chairs while they did their thing. Could have spent hours at this spot! Ayla V.

55A very nice dog-free property where our reactive boy could relax! The paths were cut back nice and clean and there were wide swaths of green space. It was a little buggy along the trail by the water, but his coat is pretty thick so I think he was okay (the humans wore bug spray). Thank you!!!Sarah Z.

55We had a great time at the river. Our pup loved jumping in and out of the water. Nice groomed trail. Bugs were not bad at all and we did not even wear any bug spray. We will be back.Shannon K.

55Our dogs loved the sniffing, trail, and especially the river!! Since it is wooded, it's no surprise that there are ticks and mosquitoes, so just be aware and come prepared. Nice slice of heaven for the pooches!Tracy B.

55What beautiful land!! My dog enjoyed jumping in and out of the water on the path. It truly is dog heaven. There are toys up by where you park and a nice path is moved to go on the riverwalk. I enjoyed the flowers and hearing the splash of my dog jumping in and out wherever he could. Thank you for letting us explore there.Janina S.

FAQ about our Howell 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Howell area are 5 stars.
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 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
