55Super nice and clean! We had a great time.
55We had such a fun time! One of the best Sniffspots we’ve been to. We drove an hour to come here and it was 100% worth it. Very clean with plenty of room to run and sniff. Our young border collie had a blast. The space was well-maintained with all the conveniences you could ask for. Beautiful and scenic clearing within the wooded area adjacent to the home, fully fenced and secure. Parking was easy and well-marked. Thank you, Ed!
55My dogs loved it!! Such a good spot for them to run around and get energy out!! Will definitely be back! Thank you so much!!
55Absolutely our favorite Sniffspot yet! Our 3 dogs loved this spot, as did we. Ed was a great communicator and respected our wishes of not coming out during our visit to say hi. (as our dog is fearful of men sometimes) He provided water, treats and toys for the pups. We loved the hammock and plenty of space to sit. We will definitely be back!
55This is the perfect time of year to visit this spot. With a nice, wooded location and backdrop, it is the perfect place to get some fall photos of your pup in action. Such a quiet, peaceful location that offers you and your dog the opportunity to connect with nature. The world slows down when you spend some time here.
55Great spot for my hound pup to get some sniffing done while practicing off leash recall. There is nothing better than a tired hound! We will definitely return.
55Just keeps getting better!
55Pups had a GREAT Time!! Thank You for creating this spot where a family can go and let dogs off leash!
55Barley had so much fun last weekend, we came again
55Very clean and quiet. Our dogs loved it! Ed was super helpful!

Location

Warner, New Hampshire

Description

Fully fenced yard on Mt. Kearsarge bordering Rollins State Park located at the historic property settled by the Watkins family in the early 1790’s. Abner Watkins was a founding father of Warner and a soldier in the Revolutionary War serving under Ebenezer Webster, father of Daniel. They fought in the Battles of Bennington and Saratoga and came back victorious. Abner with his wife Ruth and family retired up here on the mountain and is buried at the small cemetery down the road. Enjoy this peaceful spot surrounded by beautiful oak, maple, birch, pine & ash trees and let your dogs run, play and find sticks. I’m ok if they dig! That’s what dogs love to do! Plenty of shade and a new picnic table. Right next door is the Rollins State Park toll gate to go up Mt. Kearsarge and also access to miles of hiking trails. Fresh drinking water for the dogs! Have fun!
