55We had a wonderful time today! The spot is well maintained, very clean, has ample shade and was great for my pups. They were tired after 30 minutes! Livestock is near (enough to hear them, but not see them). The spot was securely fenced and had fresh ice water, poop bags, trash can, and nice sitting areas for humans. We’ll for sure be back!

55Wow! What a cool Sniffspot! This property is absolutely gorgeous. It is so huge we were able to let my boys run free. There are working bee hives and Jack rabbits on occasion on the property however the hives are easily avoided and my dogs have really good recall. In both cases that we saw rabbits the rabbits were way too stealthy for our dogs to notice and there was zero issue. The host is responsive and very kind. Parking was so easy and she left waters out too. Take the long drive instead of the freeway and let your dog sniff out the window. What a great spot and we’ll be returning! Kira H.

55This Almond Orchard is beautiful, perfect for reactive dogs because it’s trigger-free. The host is super nice and very responsive. Springtime does mean lots of bees for pollinating, so keep that in mind if you have allergic dog. And, in between mowing, there are lots of foxtails, so be sure you keep eye on your dog and stay on the dirt roads/gravel. It’s a beautiful place for a decompression walk and I can’t wait to go back when the trees are blooming. I’ve posted a vjdeo of our visit on TikTok at charlie_goofy_gsd if you want to see more of this place. Sonja V.

55Great experience - easy parking, lots to sniff. Watch for bees. Saw a snake - wasn’t a rattler so no need to worry. Not fenced but tons of land to explore. We brought long 20ft leashes for dogs to explore. Would definitely come again. Jamison L.

55This was our first time with Sniffspot and it was amazing. No loud noises or dogs or people to stress my dog out. Plenty of room for her to run. Clear signage indicating where to park.Emma F.

55Great place for an off-leash romp! My husband and I walked the road within the orchard, and Maisie hopped the rows and ran among the trees - a great way for her to work off some of her abundant energy. We'll be back.Karen L.

55LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SPOT!
My dogs were off leash (we are always practicing recall) and they were so thrilled. There are giant rabbits there that will occasionally scare the poo outta ya, BUT it’s so beautiful and worth every penny. Will definitely be returning.
Be careful around the bee houses because my dog got stung in a place nobody wants to be stung but if you steer clear of them, you’ll have a pleasant time. breanna m.

55We had a wonderful time with our dogs. We didn't have to worry about cars or other dogs. The dogs left exhausted, like they had a day at Disneyland. The only thing to consider is that there are jack rabbits and working hives, so be on the lookout. It was also nice to have the almond trees with a little bit of shade today, as it was a little hot. Also, the host left plenty of water for the dogs and human guests, along with treats for the dogs. I loved that little detail during our time there. We will definitely be back.Marie L.

55Great location, nobody around except bees and jackrabbits (be careful around the beehives, there are quite a few). Very peaceful! The shade from the trees is very nice, will be a big plus in summer. There are foxtails to avoid or get an OutFox for your dog to wear. If your dog doesn’t have good recall or isn’t ecollar trained, don’t let them loose because if they start chasing a rabbit they’ll be out of sight quick. Loved being able to just walk around and not worry about random off leash dogs running up to us.Dawn F.

55Lots and lots of land and shade from the trees! Very relaxing environment! Be aware of bees but it truly was a non factor in our case. My pup had a great time fetching his ball and lying in the shade. And leaving water for the dogs and humans was a great touch as well! Will definitely come back. Pamela P.

55What a wonderful big space to roam. The dogs loved it. I had a tiny problem finding it. But there are signs. I just didn’t see them. The host was quick to answer questions and very nice. There is a large bucket and 1 gallon jug of water. Dry helpful. It is an orchard with nice big rows to cruise down. Just wear tennis shoes or boots. Someone mentioned a tracker-yes! If you have dogs that roam without checking back with you. We lost but finally found 2 of my poodle friends. River F.

55This spot brings me back to visiting my grandparents on their small walnut farm. 🥰 Very scenic drive from Sacramento, the spot was easy to find and I love that they had parking. Cris was very accommodating and helpful before and during our visit. Water is provided for the pups. There are bee boxes at the parking spot, but not a lot of activity when we were there. Our Danes were SO excited for this new spot! There’s lots of space for your dog to run free. Our dogs have fairly good recall, but it’s not great and they did fine during our visit although we didn’t see a rabbit. Looking forward to adding this spot to the mix. Thanks so much for this wonderful experience. Melissa M.

55What an amazing spot to let your dog stretch its legs! The space is large and open! We had just had a rain and the ground was mud free; which was great! Our pup had so much fun just running around smelling the smells and it really gave her an opportunity to open up. The owners were courteous, guided us on where to enter and exit. After that they gave us our space to play with our dog. The hour went by so quickly! I would definitely recommend this space to anyone with a dog that needs that wide open space. Dave P.

FAQ about our Rough and Ready 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.
