Top public and private dog hiking trails in Loyal, Wisconsin

Sniffspot Fairchild

** We are open and accepting bookings on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Years Day. ** 23 acres enclosed with 4' high woven wire fence, a mix of open field and heavy woods, sometimes turkey, grouse, gophers, and bunnies, lots of "sniff therapy"! Private entrance is shaded with easy access right onto the wooded trails! The portapotty and dog rinse station are located in the parking area. We have bug sprays and poop bags at the entrance and the far end of the field for you to use if needed. Special visitation hours or larger groups may be available under prior arrangement. Shoot us a message, and we can usually make larger groups or people traveling to/from dog competitions happen! For those traveling, we might also be able to accommodate visits outside of our normal hours. ***now that we have freezing temps at night, we are not leaving water out in the field.***

Country Sights and Sounds

A beautiful mix of field, woods, and wetland, let your pup(s) run off that energy! The field trail is almost a 0.5 mi loop, but add on an extra trail to get more of your steps in! A short out-and-back path surrounded by tall wetland grass will lead you to a cool, clean segment of Lowes Creek (when it is dry enough for us to mow the trail…boots recommended!). Every season is special and accessible! This may mean snow, mud, puddles, or bugs, so please plan accordingly for all the country sights and sounds. *Cell reception is often spotty depending on your carrier.* Take a peek at our extra offerings when you book: Farm Friend Exposure and Run like the Wind!.

Forest and Farm Retreat

35 Acres of Pure Dog Joy Let your pup roam, run, and reconnect with nature across 35 beautiful acres designed for exploration and play. Wander through peaceful wooded trails, let them sprint through the open farm field, or slow down as they sniff their way across soft grass and the small wetlands area filled with rich, natural scents. For everyone’s safety, please keep dogs on leash near the front of the property, as this area is close to a busier highway. You’ll also notice a few fenced-in farm friends — goats, ducks, and chickens — who enjoy their own secure spaces. Please keep dogs respectful and calm around these areas to help maintain a peaceful environment for all animals. Once you’re past the entrance and into the heart of the land, you’ll find plenty of space for off-leash freedom, exploration, and joyful adventure. This is where dogs get to be dogs — wild-hearted, curious, and fully alive in nature.
