55This place is amazing! We had an amazing walk in the trail so peaceful and beautiful. We liked that even if it was hot and humid there was lots of shade walking in the trails. This was our first time using Sniffspot and her place will be our spot for a while. We did not use the lake as our dogs are still curious about water but dogs who do love water would have a blast there.Nathalie R.

55Such a great spot to visit with your dogs. Jeanette has thought of everything, even the hose down station at the end! It was lovely to meet her, but I hope our laughing at our dogs antics didn't disturb her! Well kept trail, area to access the pond and a handy map indicating the side trails. We will be back!Megan E.

55Jeanette is great. She made sure we knew where we were going, provided a map, and has a wash station set up to hose the dogs down. My dogs had the time of their lives! It is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. A great way to enjoy watching your dogs stress free while reconnecting with nature. Will definitely go back.Sheri A.

55The property is amazing, A+, and I would definitely recommend it! My dog loved every minute of it. The path is well maintained and there is a couple of water access points along the way. The chairs at the end of the trails are a nice touch!
I also loved the podium and hose located at the parking lot.
The host was very kind and welcoming, we will definitely be back!
P.S. Don't forget your bug spray, like I did :)Sanja K.

55Given the description and the reviews, I had high expectations for this sniffspot - and it exceeded my expectations! This was my first use of a sniffspot, and it couldn’t have gotten easier. The owner gave good directions to her place, and then met us there to orient us to the spot. We signed a waiver (which we expected to do), and we given a map of the place along with some tips.
This spot is quite lovely and well-tended. It backs onto a conservation area and so it’s quiet, lovely, but full of life. Our puppy was super happy to run in the area, which is what we wanted. She’s not a water dog yet (and might never be, as it’s not in her genes), but it would be a good place to go if your dog did love the water. And, there are things for humans to do on the water as well. So, the humans can feel relaxed and peaceful while their dog gets to use up their energy!April T.

FAQ about our Pelham 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Pelham 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 273 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 32 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.
