**If you are new to SniffSpot, please know that SS is doing a trial of enforced membership in SniffPass. You are able to opt out during the free week without paying the fee and continue to make single paid reservations as current guests do. Now my description: Opportunity Woods offers 5+ acres of hilly woods and long grass meadow surrounded by a secure 6 foot fence. Several benches are placed along the rustic trails, but of course, there is no need to stay on a trail! A water bowl can be found and filled from the human-potable water hydrant, where you will also find a wading pool for dog and human use in summer. There is a roofed picnic/shade shelter just up the hill from the hydrant. Take in the serene view of the surrounding area, and get a Birdseye view of Opportunity Farm, where sheep graze the nearby paddocks. Wire-wheel tables and chairs are available for relaxing, hanging out with your dog or having a picnic. Have your dog invite their friends to join in the fun, or have a private play date just with you!

There are 15 acres of native prairie grasses and plants. There are a few trees and rolling hills. There is approximately 1.5 miles of mowed trails that loop and connect, creating several options for new routes for each visit. There is also an outhouse available if needed.

7 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Lindstrom

Fully Fenced

7 acres

Our property is a dog’s paradise! We have an open backyard, wooded trails, and an orchard out back with tall grasses. We keep the trails and orchard mowed for walking, but your dog will have ample woods, puddles, and other adventures at their disposal! Since we live in the woods, we occasionally have trees fall down on our 5 foot welded wire fence. Please be mindful if your dog is an exit seeker, although we walk the fence and mend any spots we see often. There is a large pole barn visible near the gate where you enter that is our neighbor’s yard. His yard/barn is not visible from the rest of the property once you’re down the path a little ways. For SPRING/SUMMER months, tics and mosquitos are around. We do not spray our land, so make sure you and your pup have the protection you need. In summer mosquitos are often worse near dawn and at dusk, especially in thicker parts of the woods, and less so in the backyard and orchard areas. In the winter, we snowmobile our trails to keep them walkable! There may be slippery spots here and there, so prepare accordingly! Be sure to look ahead at the roads on MN 511 in case of winter weather.

10 Beautiful Acres with River 12 minutes from Hudson WI

Fully Fenced

18 acres

The riverbed, grass field, and smaller fenced area are all open for play! We have a beautiful piece of land with a mostly fenced perimeter and 1/3 acre fully fenced doggy play area. If you drive in by the picnic table you are in the center of 18 acres to play on and will be quite a distance from the road. There are mowed walking paths to the beautiful Kinnickinnic river, far away from other people and animals. You and your dog will love it here! The river is cold and easy for dogs to hop in and out, (not easy for humans right now). If you want to keep them out of the water there is about 10 acres of open field where you park, separate and above the river so you don't need to have them down by the water at all. (although most dogs gravitate to there!)

Hello all! We are located on 40 acres. 7 acres is open space with fields, trails, and even some animals to sniff! (Chickens, goats, and horses) the back 30 is swampy woods. Fun for pups but not so fun for their owners. Keep a watchful eye! There is a mud puddle, not big enough for big dog swimming but definitely extremely fun to splash in! Lots of hills and long open stretches to get those legs moving. We’re happy to have you and hope your pups have a blast!

Absolutely amazing! First time using Sniffspot and couldn’t ask for a better experience. Every reactive dog owners dream! Switched my reservation time last minute and she was very accommodating. Quick to answer any questions too. Already booked my next reservation!

Really enjoyed this spot and Nancy is a true gem! We had so much fun! Fence is truly 6 feet, did not worry about my big pups sneaking out! Google Maps had an issue getting us there, but a message and a quick call to Nancy got us there in no time!

Kathy B.

March 2024

First time at a Sniff Spot and it was a great experience. My dogs had the best time running through the woods and taking in all the smells. The area was super secure with tall fencing which was great for our escape artist rescue dog. He was not getting out! Everything in the area was thoughtfully laid out - walking sticks, seating area, trails clearly marked, very easy to find.

Jennifer B.

March 2024

Wonderful and very spacious area, very safe tall fencing. Nice touches like walking sticks, poo bags, shelter, water pump and dish, and shelter with seating. Trails through the beautiful woods and meadows well marked. Maya loves i

Lynn H.

March 2024

We had a great time with our dogs. This was our first Sniffspot visit and we will definitely be back! It was a wonderful place to walk in the woods and the dogs actually had smiles on their faces. It was so nice to just let them run and not worry about how far they went. The fence was tall and secure, and the water pump was handy.

Raquel W.

March 2024

Atlas had an absolute blast, as usual! Well marked trails that were easy to navigate and plenty of room to run and sniff. There is a place to water your dogs as well, so don't worry too much about them being thirsty after wearing themselves out!

Rosie B.

March 2024

The dogs enjoyed it very much. Good variation in field and trail. The hill to get down to the park was a little muddy but this was mentioned ahead of time. Our small suv had no problem going through it.

FAQ About Ridgeland Dog Hiking Trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.

How can I find dog hiking trails in Ridgeland?

There are 12 dog hiking trails in the Ridgeland area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Opportunity Woods Private Dog Park In Ridgeland. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?

Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?

In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?

Dog hiking trails in the Ridgeland area range from $10.0 and $. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Windwalker K9. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Chippewa Falls Happy Tails Dog Park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
