55This was a nice patch of woods to wander around in. There is a wide central path with an offshoot to the river bank. The underbrush is also sparse at the moment for much of it so hiking off path isn't too hard if desired. Even with only a few days since the last rain we didn't have any issues with mucky ground. There's a nice view of the river, but it didn't look good for swimming. Woodland and water birds are in the area if you're interested in that. If you bring your own camping chair, there would be nice places to sit for a bit watching the scenery. As stated, it is unfenced, so that needs to be taken into account. The host also warned me about ticks, which is to be expected in any woods or long grass as the weather warms, so precautions should be taken accordingly. Horses were visible on the farm on the way into the spot, but no dogs, people, or domestic animals were visible or audible from the woods. Overall a great experience!Angela S.

55Our girls had so much fun! The paths were big enough to play and sniff, and was pretty easy to navigate off the trail as well if you don’t mind a few thorns. Holly G.

55We had a blast on our first visit to dragonfly hollow! Sarah was so friendly and came out to tell us about where to go and where the property ended. I ended up getting stuck in the mud with my car and her son was kind enough to come out and help me. Thank you both!! :) we can’t wait to come back when it’s not raining! Stacey R.

55Great time as always!! My fur children had a wonderful time running freely at full speed. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this service and to be able to visit your amazing property. I think dogs need to get opportunities to full out run and investigate for both physical and mental well-being. Unfortunately, I had not been able to do this for a long time because one of my dogs, as he grew into adulthood became intolerant to most other dogs. This would result in a dog fight. Thus dog parks were no longer an option. So seeing him and my newly adopted 1yo female play and run is a truly a godsend. Rita C.

55Very lovely, secluded piece of land. Far enough off the main road, the driveway is gravel but nothing my little hatchback couldn’t handle. Loved spending time at the pond. Quiet and relaxing. Perfect spot for off-leash runs. Can’t wait to return.Ashley B.

55My dog had an amazing enrichment experience. He was so happy and he loved going on the floating docks. Definitely a great place to go to practice long line training or nose work. Ann G.

55What an absolutely fantastic space for dogs to play! Our boys had a great time running through the fields and even took a quick dip in the fresh water pond - where Sarah has picnic tables and a trash can if you’d like to bring refreshments. At her house she has a hose for drinking water and a quick rinse, if the dogs need one. Sarah is very welcoming and available for any questions/concerns/needs you may have. We will definitely be back. These city boys are TIRED after our time spent at Dragonfly Hollow!
Note: as expected on a farm, the driveway is lumpy & bumpy so make appropriate vehicle arrangements if you’re worried about your car’s clearance and ability to navigate an uneven gravel drive

FAQ about our Chestertown 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.
