55This spot exceeded our expectations in every way! We were greeted upon arrival by the property owners who explained the property in detail, gave us some pointers, and let us on our way. Our frenchies, who have never been in the woods or walked off leash, immediately sprinted to the pond where they chased frogs into the water. After that, we enjoyed a long walk down the manicured trail through the woods. There were plenty of spots the sit and rest along the way. Finally, we made our way back the the pond were they waded in the water to cool off. Before heading out we stopped at a water faucet where they got a drink and cleaned off. We will defiantly be back on a regular basis!! Brooke Z.

55This was our first Sniffspot ever and it was a blast. My dog is very reactive to everything so having a place all to herself where she can just explore was great. The place was gorgeous and we can't wait to go back!Alexander W.

55This was a wonderful opportunity to get our dogs out and allow them to let their hair down. They all had a blast! There was something for each of them to do. It’s nice and secure and very safe. The pond was so much fun, our dogs loved jumping off the dock. We even got a tour of their private beach which is INCREDIBLE! Totally worth the drive and the cost. We will be going back again and again. Thank you Brent & Chrissy! ❤️ Madelaine C.

55Awesome spot! It was great to let Joey roam around off leash knowing he was secure with the fencing. We both had a blast. We did see a deer which got Joey’s attention, but otherwise a great first experience with Sniffspot.Sydney H.

55Another outstanding trip to this Sniffspot! We had such a blast — spent the hour looping around the trails and I love that Rieka is familiar with the trails so she is more at ease. Brent and Chrissy go above and beyond - they are simply amazing. 💜 I am sincerely forever grateful to have the opportunity to have a stress free adventure with my reactive dog. This Sniffspot is life changing for us. Allison G.

55Chrissy and Brent are the most generous, kind hosts of what is probably the best sniff spot in Michigan! They were accommodating and helpful to us for the Birthday Paw-Ty we hosted for 8 of Trygve’s local friends. We had folks drive as far as an hour and a half to get there, and Brent and Chrissy offered an experience that did not disappoint! We had no problem exploring the trails as a big crew, with beverages in our hands, watching the dogs explore and be themselves in nature. The added peace of mind that comes from going to a fenced in large forest like this was a necessary bonus as well, as many of Trygve’s friends are not off leash trained and normally would not be able to partake in a forest adventure! We had a BLAST and could not recommend this place more for either a special dogs day out, or even a paw-ty! Tell them Trygve sent you!!!!!Kaitlyn S.

55Our first time at Happy Trails and what a wonderful experience! We have three dogs, one who is almost entirely blind so it’s been difficult to let her off leash. Today for the first time she was able to run and play with her brother and sister without us having to worry she would get lost or hurt. All ran, played and swam their little hearts out. We will definitely be booking again soon.Wendy S.

55First, I would like to give some context about our dogs. We have two high energy Malinois who love working as Search dogs. When off duty, they run off-leash in multiple acres with their dog friends at Day Care. They enjoy a lot of daily enrichment, so I expected to just play ball with them to burn off energy. But, they did not care about their beloved ball. They joyfully ran these acres and swam in the pond while keeping an eye on our location. This was clearly the best hour of their lives. With all we have experienced with them, I have never seen them happier.
We loved the safety and feeling of freedom. I’m very particular about environments and experiences with my dogs. I never worried for a second here.
It was also so helpful to watch how our younger dog would behave while feeling she was completely free. This gave me even more confidence in her. This is also a great place to work on recall with your dog.
I told my husband that this was the best hour of our lives. He questioned whether it was better than our wedding. I had to say that it probably was!
This place is heaven and the hosts are incredibly sweet and helpful. The property is absolutely beautiful. The listing said it is a destination, and that is true. I can’t imagine a better place to enjoy with our dogs. Honestly, I would pay a lot more for this experience. The hosts have made the world a better place by offering this beautiful property to us at such a fair price. Deborah B.

55I wanted a securely fenced large open space to test out my dog's recall, this was perfect! (she passed! recall 100%!! how thrilling!) Brent & Chrissy are super helpful, they answered all my many questions! I wish I lived closer, I'd definitely join up for a monthly pass!! It's a beautiful place for a hike, even tho it poured rain!

55Beautiful property, extremely thoughtful and kind hosts (seriously, they’ve thought of everything!), and a secure fence. It was such a relief to be able to explore in nature and feel confident that Mabel was safe. Mabel had a blast sniffing around in the forest. We even did a little parkour on some of the benches and practiced her training. Toward the end, she started trying to chase some woodland creatures 🤦🏻♀️ so we put her on the long line just to be safe (we only recently adopted her and her recall isn’t reliable yet) and so we weren’t as disruptive to the environment. She left completely exhausted and has been napping happily ever since we came home. We’ll definitely be back! This magical place was well worth the drive. Thanks again for hosting us, Brent!Natalie T.

FAQ about our Muskegon 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Muskegon 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 98 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 8 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.
