552 hours is not enough of what this place has to offer. This isn't just for dogs but for people to have fun too. They offer a variety of things to do, boat riding in the pond, zipline and a whole lot more. You'll see people in the area but all very friendly. We'll surely come back for another visit.

55Our dogs loved Taylor Pond! We enjoyed walking around the pond and watching our dogs run around from one side of the pond to catch up to us on the other side. It was so fun, we can't wait to visit again! Thank you, Taylor Pond, for allowing us to bring our dogs. The day we visited was actually one of my dogs' birthday, and she had a great time. Beautiful property with clear directions on how to access the property and where to park our vehicle.Elizabeth G.

55We took a peaceful stroll around the pond. Doggo had fun poking her head into the water and staring at the ducks. Its a great little respite close to (for us) home and a rare chance to let the pup experience a natural body of water that isn't the ocean :) Jennifer Z.

55Taylor Pond is always an amazing experience for both; dogs AND people! The Sniffspot is very accommodating for anything that may be needed for anyone, especially if a dog loves swimming. They can be washed and dried off at a wash station that includes towels. This is my second time coming to Taylor Pond and I will absolutely be back in the future!Kenna R.

55Great place to let my dog experience some nature safely. His recall isn't great so I'm reluctant to take him anywhere not fenced. My dog had a blast exploring all the new sights and sounds. Will be back with some friends soon 😁. Justin S.

55Great property with plenty of space. I wouldn't recommend it for reactive or fearful dogs as there are multiple people on the property and kenneled dogs. Nichole X.

55This was my first sniff spot and it was absolutely wonderful. The directions to get there and where to park were very helpful. Mine and my friends dog had a blast. It was enough space for us to start out doing some long line work with them before we let them off leash. They enjoyed swimming in the water. There was also plenty of areas to sit and relax. The host was nice enough to leave out towels, so you could rinse off your dog if you needed to if they got in the pond. It was completely fenced off however there are definitely people on the property walking around. There weren’t a ton, but just something to note. Melanie A.

55Cool space! Lots of things for the dogs to explore and space to roam. I wasn't expecting there to be so many people roaming around and places for my dogs to get into like open trailers and tents, so I had to keep a close eye on them. We weren't bothered by all the people, just didn't realize that would be the case! Fun time!Keira M.

55It was so great to be able to take our dogs and just wander around safely. Our younger one can be relatively anxious, and this was such an enjoyable, relaxing encounter. He loved swimming in the pond!Gus & Kim T.

55This is a beautiful spot to take your dog. There is a lot to do and to see. There is a path around the pond that allows for walking and running, and multiple docks to play on. There were multiple other people there while we visited, so make sure your dog is not person reactive. Definitely a must visit Sniffspot! Christine W.

55this place was AWESOME! it’s essentially a big pond with docks and a trail around it. there was a bunch of unique areas to sit and relax. probably my favorite sniff spot so far. you could hear other dogs barking but could not see them. there were also a few other people on the property but my dog didn’t pay much attention to them as he was focused on all the fish and birds flying around. he did greet one of the people and they were super friendly about it. this place is definitely a hidden gem. will be coming back in the future with some friends!
