55Had another wonderful visit! It’s so fun watching our dogs run free and know they are safe. Plenty of walking options. We use WAZE to get us to the SniffSpot and have had no issues finding it. The signs are easy to see. It’s such a lovely place and our dogs love it!Kathy B.

55The space was amazing. There were clear instructions all around the spot so I felt comfortable and confident in the space. I loved the variety of terrain and I think my dogs did too. I drove about an hour to get here but after seeing how great the space is, I will be coming back!Jenna S.

55Our pup had a blast running through the woods and bouncing in the tall grass. Fencing was tall & secure enough to safely work on off leash recall work.
The wooded trailed were maintained and flagged, and the grass trails were mowed.
There was an agility tunnel and some jumps available in the open grassy area also. Worth the trip from eau claire and the puppy slept the whole ride home. Luke S.

55The dogs always love the opportunity to sprint in the fenced-in the meadow and explore the treasures in the woods. I enjoyed the show of red columbine and pink trillium.KT G.

55As always, we had a great time at this spot today! Nancy kindly put out ramps for my elder dog to make it over the entrance gate and they worked awesome. My son had a blast playing in the pool with the dogs and walking the trails through the woods. Can’t wait for our next visit!Danielle M.

55My two dogs had the best time today! We are working on recall with my adolescent newf, so the tall fencing was such a nice feature to know he was safe. (He definitely took his teenage liberties exploring at first!) Both dogs enjoyed the sturdy little pool and hose. Nice mix of woods and field. Trails are marked and directions for use of supplies was very clear. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great space!Emily H.

55This Spot will be in our regular rotation! We have one that loves tall grass and the other loves the woods so this is appealing to everyone! We enjoyed a game in the shelter and a quick hike up the pink trail and back. The agility equipment was a fun extra bonus!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful space, and we will see you again soon!

55A great place for my girls to run off their extra Sammy energy. They LOVED it and were exhausted on the way home. It was set up perfect for dogs and their humans. Water available for hot days and shady shelter was much appreciated. Only thing is it was hard to find as my GPS took me right by it. The driveway into the gated area is before the actual driveway address. A bigger sign would be all you need as if you know it’s coming it’s not so hard to find. We will be back. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us!Angela D.

55My pups loved the site. We made multiple loops through the paths with a stop for water in between each loop. We did hear a dog barking, and one of my girls barked back a couple times. But that wasn’t a big deal at all! This site left my pups happy and tired. I will definitely be back!Andrea N.

55Had a good time here. The host was accommodating/flexible with us since we were on a road trip and unsure of our arrival time. Trails in the spot were clearly marked. Mostly shady, with one trail that was more flat and the other that was more hilly. Nice views once you make it to the top. Even though it was hot my dog was eager to try both trails. My dog was not interested in the kiddie pool, but it seemed like a nice setup with the hydrant.Rob R.

FAQ about our Ridgeland 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.
