55Wow, what a great spot for our anxious pup! The trail is beautiful and so relaxing. Also a great spot to train her off leash skills. We had a blast seeing her freely explore and playing in the pond!Liya A.

55This was my first time visiting a sniffspot and I felt so welcomed! My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed racing through the trails. She even enjoyed the pond multiple times. We loved searching for the teepee with a little prize. We will definitely back! Thank-you for such an amazing space and being so welcoming!:)Alex D.

55Amazing!! It was so nice to have this space to bring our reactive dog. I had no worries letting her wander the trails and play freely in the pond. It really touched my heart watching her enjoy everything they have to offer here. So thankful for the contactless visit which made the experience 100% stress free for our dog. Blessed to have this place so close to homeEmma V.

55Love this spot! Brent accommodated for my reactive dog and we didn’t meet, which I’m super thankful for! I loved doing some training around the pond and my pup was happy to be off leash with no worries. Will definitely come again and hopefully bring my other reactive dog as well. Highly recommendRowan D.

55Have been here twice now it’s one of my favorite spots to bring our 6 month old puppy. The hosts are so friendly and they hid a surprise for our dog =) It was a super hot/humid day, so our pup loved playing in the pond. If you’re looking for a large safe space to bring your dog, I highly recommend this sniff spot! The trails are well maintained the property is so beautiful. (They even have bug spray available in case you forget yours!)Breanna R.

55This place was an absolute dream come true for my highly reactive dog. Brent & Chrissy were so understanding about having a contactless arrival. I truly haven’t seen my dog have that much fun exploring/playing/running around in so long. And I was actually able to enjoy watching her have all that fun/run around with her without having to worry about any other dogs, people or her running away since everything is fenced in. She loved playing in the pond & doing zoomies in the foresty area on the trails. I can’t recommend this place enough. Brent and Chrissy are amazing & so nice! It’s absolutely worth the hour drive for us to come here. My dog and I can’t wait to come back!! Claire C.

55Very nice spot. Water and waste bags available which is nice. My dog had a great time! We did hear a neighbor dog barking at us while along the fence line in the back near the teepee but never actually saw the dog. We will be back. Brittany P.

55First sniffspot I tried and I’m not sure I’ll try anywhere else! Lovely people, lovely trails, and tired dogs. The hosts were amazing and explained everything available to us: trails, pond, fountain, lake. I’ve never seen my dogs have so much fun in their entire lives. Leah M.

55This was the most beautiful place I could have taken my dog. He is afraid of people and other dogs, and it was so wonderful to see him run and enjoy himself and be a dog. He loved the pond, there were tons of frogs that kept him occupied. The trails were beautifully kept and great for him to run laps on. He’s leaving as a very sandy and happy pup. Thank you so much for opening your space up to us and other dogs!Mandy C.

55What a wonderful spot! This was the first time we have been able to let our reactive rescue pup off leash on a hike. She and our other dog had a blast. They played so much that they only made it 40 minutes before they laid down and told us they were done. :) The hosts were amazing and very conscientious. The fence was in excellent condition and you can tell the hosts take great pride in keeping the space safe and well maintained. We will definitely be back! Katie G.

55Such a beautiful spot! Brent and Chrissy’s property was easy to find yet tucked away and very private. We had the best time with our pup! The trails are so well groomed with benches to rest if you need it and a pond that our dog absolutely loved. 1 hour was plenty of time to explore, swim, and chase the ball that Brent and Chrissy left for us in the teepee. Our pup is reactive, so having a private place to let him sniff and explore is really wonderful for our little family. We just got home and he is so happy and exhausted :) we will definitely be regulars!Julianna A.

55We love it here so much! Second time visiting and I’m so happy we got to experience it in the autumn—it’s a beautiful spot anytime, but this was just gorgeous. Brent & Chrissy are so kind and generous—we always feel so welcome, and it’s such a gift to have a safe place for our dogs to run their hearts out. :-) The trail was (once again) in excellent condition, directions and instructions clear, drinking water for the pups, everything you could want! We did see/hear a neighbor’s dogs in the distance, but they were well away from the secure fence. Just as reference point, our dogs are very dog reactive, and they didn’t pay the neighbor pups much attention at all—there was so much they wanted to do on their own side of the fence. Wish we could give this place 10 stars, and I hope lots of dogs get to have a wonderful day like ours did! Lisa D.

FAQ about our Mecosta 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.
