55The paths in and out are clear - keep your eyes open for the orange trail markers - they are easy to miss but greatly appreciated. Thoughtful host left treats, fly swatters, bug spray, and a hand drawn map. The cabin field is great for Frisbee or ball tossing time. The water hole was a fun find, and the bench by the creek was a welcome respite! Milo loved loved it all!!Samantha G.

55This spot was fantastic!! There's a little creek that Maple loved splashing in and a nice open clearing for zoomies! Tammy left out a lovely little bag of treats for Maple, a map of the property which was quite helpful, and some balls and toys to play with in the clearing! The trails were nicely cleared and marked and there were plenty of benches to take a break! We will definitely be back!Hannah B.

55My pup and I had an amazing time! The day we went was peaceful and quiet, and was nice just to sit on the bench while pup played and dug in the little stream. The walk through the woods was beautiful with lots of squirrels for my pup to watch, we even saw several deer. Will definitely be back!D. K.

55Found this place as a pit stop on the way down to VA from CT! I wasn’t sure what traffic would look like so I gave the host a heads up we might arrive late but would be respectful of the time out. She was SUPER accommodating and flexible and let us know she blocked the day until 130 for us. Day of traffic was terrible and our ETA went from 1130 to 1245. We gave her a heads up and had zero issues showing up at 1245. We were out by 130 and had a BLAST. This space is the coolest space I’ve ever seen. There are small trails to stretch our legs and an open space with toys. Our dog had a blast running around the woods and chasing after his ball. Lots of good sniffs. Everything was super well marked. Could hear the dog inside the house but so faintly we barely noticed. No sounds from neighbors. It was a quiet perfect stretch of the legs. My dude was exhausted by the time we headed back to the car.
We’ve done several SS with some friends and this is by far the coolest.
1000/10 recommend. We will definitely be back the next time we head south. Meagan L.

FAQ about our Bethel 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.
