55This place is beautiful. Lovely trails. Dogs had fun playing in the creek. Love that a clean water bowl and poop container was available. Everything was VERY CLEARLY labeled. Erika B.

55This was the perfect spot for senior Sally. Since she does not have a reliable recall we kept her on a 30 foot long line that worked well. She loves to sniff and there were plenty of smells for her to enjoy. The pond also called to her so she did some wading. We used the open area to practice recalls. It would also be great space for dogs who love to retrieve. There were directional signs that showed us where to park and also marked the way to the trails. This Sniffspot also has some nice amenities such as lockers that hold towels, extra leashes, etc.. Chairs are set up in various areas for the humans to relax and enjoy the serenity. It's a spot that we will definitely return to visit.Linda D.

55We only booked the place for an hour and fully regret not being able to explore for longer. There are multiple trails and a small creek on the property. Not only did both my dogs love exploring the woods but my toddler had a great time as well! The owners of the property seem very thoughtful as there was a doggy water station with fresh water available when we got there! There's also a locker with extra leashes, toys and a frisbee to play with. We really appreciated having a place to toss the poo so we weren't stuck with a poo smelling car on the ride back home. We can't wait to come back out for longer! Erika C.

55My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our time today at Black Pond Farm! My dog, Prince Larry, gets along with other dogs, but he barks non stop when he sees another dog, which is why you we chose to use SniffSpot. Not a single bark the whole time we were at Black Pond Farm!
It's also a beautiful location!
5 stars!!!!!

55We have visited this spot 3 times now and will continue to keep coming back. My dog is old and reactive and this gives her a space to explore miles of trails, mostly shaded (depending how far you go) and a little elevation to give her a good workout. Today we saw a huge frog and a deer on trail! We saw no people or other dogs on the DNR land. The new club zoomies area is a lot of fun as well, nice work Preston.Chelsea B.

55Super unique and fun spot! Nice and shady for hot summer days. The hosts were very lovely and accommodating and there are multiple dog water stations and bug spray. Really thoughtful setup. Our pup had a great time exploring the trails. The signage was very useful, we never worried about getting lost. We could hear a couple of dogs barking and roosters in the distance (she is dog reactive) but it was far enough away that she wasn’t too bothered so it was a nice training opportunity :) We will definitely come back!Lara M.

55Wonderful location! Our reactive puppy had the best time on the trails and took a splash in the pond.. we will absolutely visit here again! You've got privacy and plenty of trails to venture on, along with a lovely setup when you arrive with a number of complementary necessities like bug spray and towels! Tia H.

55this was our 3rd visit, but 1st time booking it myself, as we are usually with another pair of dogs, and Bubba's last foster mom. Bubba loves the smells from the parking lot to Club Zoomies. Unfortunately, Bubba is always a ground critter away from disappearing into the woods, so he gets a long line instead of being off leash, but he doesn't mind. Next time I'll book 90 minutes so he can explore a bit more. The place is always so clean and well maintained, and the hose at Club Zoomies is a nice addition. it's certainly our favorite sniff spot.chris n.

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. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
