55What a great place to explore - hiking on trails in the woods and pasture with a lovely pond - the time just flew by, and both my dog and I wanted to stay longer! The host Lori was great, sent detailed directions and gave us a property map, so we didn't get too lost :-). We will definitely be back - this is a gem!!!Silke W.

55Absolutely amazing visit! This was our second time here. Host is accommodating and friendly worth the drive even if it’s not super close. Our first visit I had training dogs so we decided to go in the fully fenced field and had a great time. This time (our second visit) we brought our personal dogs to the rest of the property, the host gave us a detailed map of the property and explained it to us and we didn’t wanna leave!! 1 hour is definitely not enough time and we will be booking longer next time. The pot holes were annoying last time on the multiple mile drive way to the property but they are almost all filled in now so the drive was much much better super easy pretty drive now!!! Our dogs had a blast, the water features were absolutely the best, especially in the warmer months. I highly recommend you check out this spot especially if your dogs have a good recall and can walk the whole property. Faith/Lexa S.

55Zany had such a fun visit to this Bellfountain piece of Paradise. Lori provided excellent directions to include landmark things to look for (bars, house colors, etc) as well as detailed information about which roads to travel and ideal speed for the road. I find these instructions to be so helpful as we all know that Map apps can lead one on an adventure that isn't necessarily helpful. As you drive onto Lori's property, you will see a Sniff Spot sign which is also greatly appreciated. She even has signs for parking. This spot is peaceful, fun and has plenty of space to run and run and run and take an occasional splash in the pond. My dog easily located a few sticks for me to throw for him and he effortlessly bounded through the field with a smile a mile wide. We were camping out near the reservoir and drove into Monroe for Lunch. I would estimate it may take you about 25 minutes from Monroe to arrive at this sniffspot. Lori does say in her details to allow time for the drive. She greeted us with a map and covered any questions I may have had. Thankful to have a place I could go to help my little guy get his wiggles out. Margie T.

55Great spot! I could’ve easily spent at least 2 hours there, if not 3. Lots of trails to wander and a pond to cool the dogs down after. We didn’t get to spend too much time at the pond because we were out on the trails. I would definitely book for 2 hours next time.
Also appreciated another review that stated it was about 25min out of Monroe but well worth the drive. Amber S.

55We absolutely love having a private spot that our dogs can go swimming without fear of encountering other dogs or boats or strong currents. She has really done a lovely job making this naturally beautiful spot perfect for dogs and their people to enjoy- from the picnic bench and chairs near the pond, to the solar fountain that helps prevent algae outbreak. We really appreciate it!Jennifer P.

55This place is incredible! It was wonderful to hike and swim out in the quiet, spacious wilderness, knowing we wouldn’t run into anything that would trigger Lumi. We booked this spot for an hour and a half and the time just flew by - there is so much to explore. We can’t wait to visit again!Natalie D.

55The property is lovely - we had a very nice walk, and our dog really enjoyed swimming in the pond. We loved that there were seats in the shade by the pond so we could cool down after our walk while our pup splashed around.
Lori's instructions for finding the place were very clear, and everything was so well marked that it was obvious where to park, where the washroom was, and where to dispose of trash. She was really accommodating when we were unavoidably held up and unfortunately arrived 20 minutes late. She also provided us with a map that helped us navigate the trails.
Some parts of the trails are uphill and a bit rough, so make sure to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Most of the trails are sheltered by trees, which is wonderful on a hot day.
If you are planning to explore the trails rather than just relax at the pond, I would recommend booking at least 90 minutes so that you can do a complete loop, make the most of the beautiful forest, and still have time for your pup to splash around at the end!Heather R.

FAQ about our Monroe 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Monroe 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 24 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
