45Fun new spot closer to my home than our usual pick! Well marked and coordinate directions made it easy to find. We went on a snow day and had a blast. The county roads approaching the property were not plowed or salted but it was no problem in my Subaru. We didn’t get to explore the whole space because the muddy spots were a little treacherous iced over but am looking forward to trying the spot out in warmer days to come! Fair warning, when loading up a very friendly, off leash, older golden retriever named Posie approached my vehicle with no owner around. I called the number on the dog’s tag and she lives at a neighboring property. Thankfully my dog was kenneled in the car already but for a reactive dog like him a confrontation is something we want to avoid and why we use Sniffspot. I think it is just a risk with an unfenced Sniffspot out in the county. The Sniffspot owner was very quick to respond and wanted to make sure they made it right. I know Posie was out of their control! Overall, a good experience and am looking forward to more trails being added.
55Great spot for them to run
55This spot was perfect for our sweet girl! Lots of space to walk the woods and lots of open areas to play fetch and run around. Definitely muddy at this time so wear some good boots but overall a wonderful place to get away with your pup. There is a garbage can, some balls, and a bench provided by the hosts as well - so kind! Will definitely be coming back this is great.
55Fun time with the pups and kiddos. Bring muck boots
55Well marked spot with easy parking and clear directions! Flexible and accommodating host. Our 6 pups had a great time and we can’t wait to come back when it’s not soggy season and there are even more trails to explore!
55Nice spot, that's close. No problem finding it. Easy walking. Dog loved it. Not sure if the trail loops back around. Will check that out next time. We'll be back!
55Easy to find with the included GPS coordinates I was messaged, and parking at the gate is also simple. We did see a few walkers along the main road on a sunny crisp morning but it wasn't a problem. Currently it's hard to tell where the boundaries are (we wandered down the main path until it wasn't obvious anymore and didn't want to end up on a neighboring property) and going off trail means lots of blackberry vines, but it sounds like boundary markers and cutting in more trails is in the plans so that's great!
55Wonderful peaceful area. Brought my two working breed dogs and I was delighted to find a set of balls and a chuckit stick in the field opening. There is a trash can for dog waste by the bench in the field opening as well.
55The host left cookies and brand new tennis balls, it was so sweet. My GPS took me to a house diagonal from the property. It’s important to know you’re looking for a Remaxx sign to the west of the house with the large metal shop. Bring your boots- it’s muddy on some parts of the trail. My dog had a great time exploring.
55Well maintained, peaceful property with no distractions and plenty to sniff with the game trails. Nice clear path through the property. It gets a bit muddy towards the back of the property — recommend waterproof boots. The owner was very sweet to leave treats for our pup!

No domestic animals on property, however, there is an old Golden named Posie that lives nearby and wandered up to the gate recently. The gate is about 15-20 feet from the main road. I have seen her on the road once before, not on the property. Posie appears to be harmless. If you have a reactive dog, please leash it until you are behind the gate. We want everyone to be safe, including Posie. (We do not know her family.)
