We also did the add on fruit picking, lots and lots of huckleberries and apples in season, bags for picking provided. Great spot!!Keri P.

55Spectacular spot for my two dogs to run, fetch & play ball. Very safe & well fenced. The owners are so kind as they left bowl of water, toys with doggie bags & a bin. Incredibly appreciative of the owner’s generosity. Will return. Eva-Maria S.

55Wonderful big sandy paddock for the pups to run in. Very well-maintained with shady chairs to sit in, a pup pool, huge variety of toys, and even treats. Definitely would recommend!Olivia W.

55Had a blast on our morning visit! Fencing was secure for my big LGD mix, and plenty of signage to let you know where to go.
The amenities (towels, treats, water) were a lifesaver especially for folks who want to do a quick visit or are coming further away. Plenty of space to run in the sand and appreciate that there weren’t any foxtails to worry about!
Sawyer loved the options of toys for us to play with!
Genevieve was such an amazing host and super responsive. We can’t wait to come back! Jeremy Y.

55This little park is amazing =] the owners put a lot of thought of not only the dog but the humans as well! They have a shaded area for the humans to sit and relax. We loved the little details such as doggie treats for the pups! Soo nice! Oh and the farm animals were cool too! Julissa V.

55Amazing, this time we got to hang out with the camels! Sorry Charlie got a little feisty and low with them, she will need a little more training (some reason horses don’t get her barking but these smooth friendly guys did! Lol)
Marley had the time of his life, too, and both pups after just 30 minutes are now splootted napping likely dreaming of their new friends.
The toys treats and clean grounds are SO appreciated! We drive about an hour each way (we love the drive) and will continue to do so! It’s such a great weekend adventure!
Marleys not usually an escape artist- but seems both were in rare form and he did desperately try to join the camels ha! Nothing a small bucket moved into the way of the dip in the fence couldn’t solve. Samantha S.

55This SniffSpot is THE BEST. Rio loved running on the soft sand, there were lots of great toys and amenities at this spot. Also, great socialization with other animals. Rio loved saying hi to the camels and horses. The host was welcoming and so friendly. Angela W.

55Area was clean. A good size paddock for my dog to run and fetch her ball. It is a little dusty. There is also a nice area that has fake grass, covered area to sit, and treats both the food kind and toys for your dogs to eat and play with. Small swimming pool for those pups who like to get wet. Genevieve was very friendly.
Another plus: being able to feed the camels, Phyllis, Milo, and Dubs.
Our dog loved the Sniffspot. Will be back. kristina K.

55Kara’s property is amazing! Kind of a choose your own adventure place. We opted for a hike up the hillside and it was definitely a workout but it was worth it, Scotti had the time of her life sniffing everything and it was a great place to work on her off leash training! We will be back, probably for 2 hours instead of just 1.Katie V.

55This Sniffspot is perfect! The loop that goes up the hill and back around to the driveway took us about 35 minutes. There is a lot of room to explore! Be prepared that going up the hill is quite strenuous and wear good shoes as there are some holes on the path. Our dogs had a blast running around. We will definitely be back!!Fiona T.

55This spot is absolutely amazing! What a gift to be able to walk around such a beautiful property with my pups and get a great hike in. Karalee is very kind and helpful in explaining the property and so welcoming. You must check out this spot! I forgot my phone in the car so I don’t have pictures but will make sure to get some for next time. Rosie C.

55First time here and can’t have asked for a better private hiking area. It’s very well setup and particularly if you have a dog who can climb the initial hill, it’s then tone of space to walk through. Very nice host and I’ll be back z! Lauren D.

55Wow! This place is spectacular! Karalee was super welcoming and helpful- tipped me off to wear boots after the recent rain. Thigh busting hills were perfect for the puppy. He had his nose in the air the whole time sniffing cows. Loved it!Katherine B.

55We celebrated our pup’s Gotcha Day at Kara’s ranch! It was a lovely steep hike that was nicely paved/mowed down. We even got to see some heifers up close! We really appreciated that Kara was so communicative and responsive; make sure to meet her at the very start of her and her neighbor’s driveway (we accidentally drove in). The pups had a blast roaming around the ranch and we even did a brief sunset photoshoot! Thanks, Kara, for hosting us! 😍Monica X.

FAQ about our Inverness 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Inverness area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 91 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
