55There aren’t enough words to describe how awesome this spot is! Melanie was very responsive and helpful. My dogs had a blast. We encountered no hazards at all and saw generally no other animals, except for the lovely geese. We will definitely be back!Dayla C.

55We had the best time EVER! Thank you, Melanie, for sharing this incredibly special spot! We will be back, for sure. On a practical note, I did use a long line on our pup just in case any rafters came to take out, but didn't end up needing it. Marquette C.

55We had SO much fun. Lots of grass to run in, river to swim in it, chairs to sit in. Melanie has a beautiful property and I’m so so thankful she’s sharing it with us and our fur babies!!!
PSA for the parents with reactive doggos: there was fisherman in a boat that fished in front of the bank for about 30 minutes. They stayed to themselves but I know that might be an issue for some! Lexcie C.
