55Sherri’s dog park is a 10 out of 10!!! We will be back multiple times each week I’m sure! Sherri had out toys, treats, water, and poop bags! Our 3 pups loved it all. We are 20 minutes into being home and they have passed out for the night I’m sure! She has a HUGE fenced in area with hills and trees for the dogs to explore in. We are new to the area and don’t have a fenced in yard and we have one reactive dog that isn’t the best at dogs parks. This private little “oasis” was perfect for them! Thank you!!Kirkland H.

55What a glorious slice of paradise. Our two dogs couldn’t have had more fun running around and being free while on a cross country road trip. Gorgeous scenery and probably the most spacious Sniffspot we’ll ever go to. Thank you so much to the hosts for the welcoming space and yummy homemade treats. Rosie K.

55My dogs and myself enjoyed a peaceful, safe and fun time visiting this park. There is a lot of room for dogs to wander and get their energy out with lots of trees for shade. I will definitely be making this a regular place to take my dogs out and enjoy the outdoors. Melanie B.

55Absolutely amazing!
We stopped by on our trip from Kansas City to Salt Lake City. After six hours in the car this is exactly what the pups needed. They were tired and happy!
Note: there is a hole under the fence on the west (?) side of the property where there is a ditch. It wasn’t a big deal for us, but it’s just something to take note of if you do have an escape artist.
The hosts were awesome (even when my pups wouldn’t leave their goats and pigs alone 😅)Sammy H.

55Our first visit here and we all loved it! Easy to find. Beautiful location, nice walking area, water in the ditch was an important bonus. Loved all the farm animals too. We will be back! Janine H.

55Great spot to explore, Hank had lots of fun jumping in the irrigation ditch and sniffing around. He was a little too interested in the goats and cows in the next paddock when we were close but once we were on the other side he was fine! I had him trailing a long line because I wasn’t sure how polite he’d be to the furry neighbors. We’ll definitely be back for another visit. Krissy C.

55This place is magical! We stopped on a road trip to let the dogs exercise for an hour and they had a grand time sniffing, running, and enjoying the space. We stopped in early May and there was a small creek running through. Resident goats and pigs provided an amusing soundtrack, but were safely contained away from where we were playing. No stickers either, and it was all very well fenced and secure. We'll definitely be stopping again when traveling this way. Janelle J.

55A beautiful place to take your dog! I recently adopted my dog and she is a little scared of the world. Being able to take her to places like this one as been so helpful and beneficial. Sherri’s place is great, she makes your dog and you feel very welcome. Also there is lots of room for your dog to run and play. Will definitely be coming back! Peyton K.

55This was a great spot for my dogs! They enjoyed being able to roam and also cool off in the water! There were poop bags, sticks, balls, and drinking water. There’s a larger tree that provides shade as well! If your dog is a flight risk/jumper there may be some shorter spots or bigger gaps in the fence. We didn’t have any issues with our dogs but good to be aware of! We will be coming back! Heather R.

55This place is absolutely perfect for my easy-going boy but especially for my dog-reactive girl! It’s safe, clean, there is plenty of room to run, play ball, take a walk, and having access to water is an added bonus as both my dogs love to cool off in it. They had a blast! Thank you, Sherri for opening up your property to us!Elisa L.

55Awesome spot! My dogs had so much fun playing in the creek. There were a few spots my dogs could have gotten out so I’d recommend a long line if your dogs aren’t off leash reliable. There were horses and cows along one fence line and someone mowing up against the other but the space was large enough that my barky pup could be convinced to leave them alone. Apple Maps did initially take me to the wrong place (20 minutes away!) because it auto corrected to a different county road. Be sure to double check. After a few tries it gave me the right spot.

FAQ about our Rifle 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Rifle 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 9 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1 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.
