55The host John welcomed us to the spot, explained the outlines of the land, and watched the dogs RUN. We thoroughly enjoyed this spot - plenty of space for the runners and understory of trees for the terrier to sniff. There are areas that are not fenced but we had so much land we didn’t even get close to the borders. We were given water for the dogs, very appreciated! All in all we had very tired (and well behaved dogs) at the end of the hour. So fun!Michelle M.

55Huge, beautiful property where your dogs will for sure be pooped. There is no fencing on the street side, so your pups must have excellent recall, or the property is so large you can stay away from it. Friendly host provided us water for the pups. Would definitely go again. Kim H.

55What a wonderful farm! Loads of room to let the pups run. Our 3 Shepherds had a blast! Clean and even fields for them to get all their wiggles out. They even brought out fresh water for them. We will definitely return. Nancy D.

55This was the best sniff spot i’ve been to. My dog LOVED exploring the paths in the woods, and I loved seeing all of the work that the hosts had put into creating a magical woodsy environment. We would love to come back! Chelsea G.

55This Sniffspot was a city dwellers escape. There are many trails that loop around and back to each other for you to explore new route every few minutes. Our 6 month old pup was in heaven as we walked in the pouring rain to explore. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Krista W.

55Despite being a little off the beaten track, it was well marked with good directions on where the off leash spot is. A fun spot with reasonable fencing.Brenda W.

55I wish I could give 100 stars. This SniffSpot is amazing with lots of trails and fun artsy and eclectic things to look at. There was always something to see during our adventure. Our Labradoodle who is reactive with other dogs loved his freedom of running and exploring without a leash. We did not see other dogs and if we heard any barking, it was in the far distance. We will definitely come back as it was worth everything to see our boy so happy! Beth M.

55I really like this space they have done great work on having amenties by the parking area and keeping it interesting for people and dogs. I would say I had a tough run in with neighbor dogs on this trip that really ruined the experience. There is newer fencing on one side and this time while we were running around two dogs were along that fence barking and getting worked up at my dogs this their person getting worked up as well. So I had to recall my dogs and stay away from that part of the space for the second half of my visit which was disappointing. Tina P.

55I almost selfishly don’t want to leave a review!! A Walk in the Woods is a very special place. The trails are beautiful, expertly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced. 1 hour is not enough time to spend here! My dogs LOVED their time running and exploring. We will be back for certain!Kristin s.

55Very clean and well-maintained trails that are easy to navigate with cute personal touches scattered throughout! Great place to work on recall training, but if you are looking for a spot to run your dogs around, this Sniffspot might not have enough wide open spaces. If you are still working on recall, I would recommend keeping your dog on a long line because there are some areas where dogs are not allowed. Kim L.

55Very relaxing spot! Perfect for working on recall. We heard a dog bark at one point but not within 50ft. Horses, cows etc visible right by the road on the way in. Not problematic for us but good to be aware of if you need to manage triggers for your dog! Karli L.

Are dog water parks safe?

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.

If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
