55Nice yard for our dogs. They loved being able to run around and play fetch! The fencing was nice and high and private. Perfect spot to park on the street right across from the entrance! We will be going again! Nichole C.

55Luna LOVED this Sniffspot. We decided to not bring Duque as he is small and senior, but if you have a German Shepherd or any working breed, this is the spot! We will be back!!!Maziel H.

55It was gorgeous! Bring some bug spray and be prepared to have a smelly ride home if your pup goes in the lake, but lovely and so worth it. We did get a bit turned around trying to get to the end of the orange trail, but found it in time to get nice a muddy. Brittany M.

55This is a great spot and both my dogs loved it. Once they got a sniff of the water, they were off like a rocket. The trails were marked with orange flags so easy to find. I just need to pay more attention to where I came from as I got a bit mixed up. I did see a cat but was able to get my dogs in the car before they realized it was close by. The owner was available and answered all my questions. Sandy M.

55Beautiful spot! We took the orange trail, and then walked the path along the lake. Really appreciated how well marked the trails are. Got a bit stuck in the mud attempting to access the lake, but I think we must have picked the wrong spot for that. Will be back for sure! Brettany J.

55Thanks for hosting, Dan! We enjoyed exploring the area. Next time I’ll bring mud boots to explore a bit more. Thanks for marking the trails - very helpful. My dog had the greatest of times. Morgen Z.

55Beautiful place to go with my reactive German Shepherd dog. Plenty of room to run. We couldn't go to the lake because it was super muddy and we couldn't walk because we sank. Thank you for sharing your place ☺️Noelia S.

55Wonderful place to take a stroll with the pup! Lots of bugs so bring bug spray, wouldn’t recommend personally having the dogs go in the water unless you plan for a bath after! Very peaceful!Shayna C.

55Great location and beautifully groomed trails. Good directions both to the property and with respect to accessing the trails and the lake. Sorry to see the "for sale" sign on the property, but if anyone is looking for a beautiful spot close to the city...Robbi B.

55Such a beautiful place to explore. Sad that there’s only a couple weeks left to enjoy it! Dan is very responsive and helpful via messages. I recommend wearing long pants, long sleeves, and a hat as it is tick season, and I saw one crawling on my dog by the lake and brushed it off. They can be super tiny and not always visible to the human eye, so have a read up on tick prevention & do checks on yourself & dog for a few days afterwards. We saw a deer the first time out! The lake is full of goose poop, so plan to give your dog a bath afterwards! Such a beautiful property, however. I don’t know that my reactive dog would ever have had an opportunity to go to the beach like that without the hosts sharing their property. A big thank you to them!Joss M.

FAQ about our Sexsmith 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sexsmith 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 4 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 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.
