55Lots of land, we only explored one part of the field when we were there. Someone met us upon arrival and advised us of which field would be best to walk around since it was a muddy day. Likely to return to explore more areas available! Michelle W.

55Such a fun time! It was a drizzly day and Cory recommended an area of the farm that would be less muddy. Very communicable! My pup loved all the sniffs and spacious area to roam! Andrea M.

55We were passing through on our way from Calgary, AB to Sacramento, CA and needed to let Stevie stretch her legs. This place is absolutely gorgeous with gentle hills and plenty of smells, sights, and sounds to keep your dog entertained. I wish I lived closer so that I could come back again!Laura G.

55Due to some technical things I was accidently able to book before they were ready. They were still very welcoming and helpful though and my dogs and I had a very peaceful and much needed walk.
Great space for walking.Emma E.

55This was just what we were looking for! A really large acreage where my dogs could run free. It's also a beautiful walk for humans too. It has high elevation spots where you can see all the mountains around. There are lots of roads to walk through and around the property. One of my dogs is sometimes reactive with other male dogs so its difficult for me to take him to off leash parks and hikes. Reserving a time slot when there are no other dogs around is perfect. Alton was friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommended!Diane E.

55No doubt my dogs' favorite thing I've ever spent money on for them. Tons of gophers to chase and endless sniffs to be had. The owners were lovely and very considerate and we had no trouble finding or using the space.Meredith S.

55I was prompted to leave a review but I actually wasn’t able to find the spot. It looked like a beautiful space though and owner responded relatively quickly. Unfortunately I had already gotten halfway home before I got the response. But for only $5, I’ll definitely be trying again soon :)Jane B.

55This property is absolutely gorgeous. We could have walked for hours. This will definitely be a main stopping point for us on road trips. Next time I'll book for 2 hours.
Google maps wasn't helpful. I recommend just looking up and going directly to the entrance of the campsite. From there it's easy to find your way. Kim K.

55Beautiful property with so many different trails, views, and sniffs to explore! Our doggo had an absolute blast; truly a great space to let your dog just be a dog and run free, be curious, and explore. Alton was a great host; he suggested using a particular entrance based on what we were interested in experiencing, and he met us there to give us some advice on which directions to head in, features to look for, etc. Highly recommend a visit!Anna S.

55Incredible spot! We are staying at the Hipcamp on the property and we rented the field next to the camp area and it was amazing. Private and beautiful! Highly recommend. You park in the campground area and walk into their field so you could possibly walk by some leashed dogs in their sites. Once you get in the field you can’t even see them anymore. Loved it! Tasha C.

55My dog and I had a blast at Alton’s farm. There are birds and rodents and deer to smell and chase, water to swim in, and endless acreage to roam. The views are stunning and make for a great long walk for people, too. We had no problem finding the farm with Alton’s directions, and the cattle fencing was sufficient to keep my dog contained. We plan to become regular visitors.
For owners of dogs with long hair: when we visited, the burs were plentiful and required lots of grooming when we got home (worth it). For owners with reactive dogs: when we parked (accessing the spot from Millan rd) there was a dog near the house that appeared to be off-leash. It did not chase after us or leave the yard, so don’t be concerned if it’s there upon your arrival.Courtney C.

55I was traveling back home and wanted to find a Sniffspot in the Missoula area close to free way with a lot of space to let my dog run.. this place did not disappoint. The views are amazing and Beau loved everything about it. It lived up to the name Sniffspot. Tons of smells and running for Beau. I got to just enjoy the walk, vistas and fresh clean air.

55Love it! We have a pretty reactive rescue with us and this place was awesome! Contacted owner to make sure nobody else would be near by and there wasn’t. My dog was able to run freely! Which he loved! Doesn’t get to run free very often. Will definitely be back! We liked that there was a bathroom and water available by the entrance.!Mateo L.

55It was hard to navigate getting to the sniffspot, but now that I’m familiar with it I will definitely be back! Alton provides really clear instructions, which is super helpful because Google/Apple maps will be incorrect, but if you are not entirely familiar with the area it can be a little nervewracking and confusing to get to the spot—we were 15 minutes late because I kept getting lost! 😅 Good news: just as we were about to give up and head back the way we came, we found the hipcamp sign! We came from Mullan Rd so the hipcamp sign is not clearly visible from that side of the road but we caught it on the way back!
The sniffspot itself is LOVELY! What a nice hidden gem. It was a lot of fun to explore a small part of the area and we will definitely be back to explore the rest of it! Griffyn has a good time running through tall grass and checking the area out and it was nice to let him roam without worrying about running into anyone. We did spot a few deer roaming around, so if your dog has a high prey drive be wary of that! Griffyn has decent recall so I was not worried about him chasing anything or trying to slip through the wire fencing, but if that is a concern for you I would highly recommend bringing a longline or drag line along as a backup!
The hipcamp area is neat too, we checked out the cute little A-frame on site and may need to come camp for a night in the summer! We will definitely be regulars at the sniffspot though!Courtney B.

55This was a great way to get our doggos out and let them run! They loved it so much. There is a two track road to walk. The dogs can get through the fence, but it’s enough of a barrier to keep them disinterested. We will definitely be back. Sarah B.

FAQ about our Missoula small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Missoula?
There are 6 small dog parks in the Missoula area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
