55Great natural, woodsy space for dogs to run free in. Didn’t even explore the entire area in the time we visited. Quiet. My dog had the time of his life and I was not worried about the lack of fencing at all. Robert is a great host. Melissa A.

55This place over delivered in every sense. The unfenced yard is roughly one cleared acre for dogs to play in, but it is surrounded by 15 acres of beautiful, wooded land. You literally can't see neighbors and the wildlife is evident everywhere. My dogs loved it! It will be a wonderful place to work on recall once I can trust them off-leash. For this visit, I worked with long lines. Robert was a gracious host and had a fresh bowl of water out for my dogs. He explained the perimeter to me, and the dogs and I shifted between the woods, the yard, and the well-maintained driveway. It was a beautiful, magical place. We'll definitely be back. Cheryl G.

55This is a fantastic location, everything I want for my dog. Lots and lots of land to explore, we all got good exercise. I cannot wait to come back and enjoy the seasons in the woods. The host was kind and courteous. Amy N.

55This is a beautiful area and very quiet and peaceful. I took my dog out on a long line and he got to have an hour of non-stop sniffing and exploring with no dogs around. I haven't seen him this tired out in a long time!Emma S.

55Explored more of the property today during my second visit to this spot. What a gem! My dog really enjoyed being able to run off-leash through the woods. I enjoyed how quiet and peaceful this spot is. Highly recommended!Melissa A.

55Absolutely fantastic! A friend and I took our three dogs out for some off-leash adventuring since my dog doesn’t play well with strange dogs. It was amazing. LOTS to sniff, plus an open yard for fetch. Well worth the trip out (~40 minute drive for us)! Highly highly recommend!!Emma G.

55We had a great time today. Just wanted to mention the stream near by the drive way looks free of algae to me. It was too cold for my dog to go in there, but in the spring he usually plows right in. Such a beautiful location, thanks Bob!Amy N.

55It's the transitional season, winter to spring...and the hosts have generously put down some coir matting at the gate so people and dogs won't slip (or sink!). Thanks, Jenn & family!Beth C.

FAQ about our Marine on Saint Croix 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?
