Always has everything needed for a satisfying visit.

55This place was perfect and so many nice details provided by the host! There was a table by the parking area on the way to the trail that supplied fresh water, toys, treats, sunscreen and bug spray! I was so glad to see the bug spray because I forgot mine. The gently sloping grassy field was perfect for the dogs to run around, eat grass and search for rabbits to chase... although Luna was disappointed that she didn't find any. Lol. We explored the woods at the back of the field and found some deer bones and a foreleg but the dogs weren't interested... they just wanted to explore. The woods are a little hard to get around in there... a lot of low branches, not really a trail or anything but if you're into bushwacking a little it's fine. We spent most of our time in the field though. There were a couple folding chairs in different spots which were great to take a break and let the dogs take their time playing. The little baby pool was awesome for the dogs to cool off and get a drink as we did laps around the field. The host thought of everything and made our time perfect! Just beware during tick season, as noted in the property description. We did have several ticks on us, which I'm used to since we do a lot of hiking, but some people might not want to deal with it. I felt it was worth the tradeoff for the dogs to have such a fun offleash time. (If it were my property, I'd probably get some chickens to clear the area of ticks). While the property isn't fully fenced per the description, there is a nice boundary of trees and my dogs have great recall so it was easy to keep them in the designated space. We will definitely return again! The dogs loved it!Heather T.

Beautiful place! So nice to provide water, and poo bag and balls and frisbees. Everything you could need to enjoy a fun time with your pups! My dogs loved it and really enjoyed playing in the little pool!

We took a road trip from the Appleton area to enjoy the fall colors and to give our dog some fresh air. This was a perfect place to spend an hour. The location is very accessible from the highway and the hosts were superb. In addition to a nice fenced area and a larger open walking space around a pond, we had access to a box of dog toys, dog treats, and fresh water. We were also delighted to find a welcome note addressed to our dog Murdock on the fence. The owners are clearly dog lovers but we did not see their dogs (or anyone else) during our time there, which was perfect for our somewhat reactive dog. If you like Asian food, we also recommend Newch’s eatery nearby.

Everything was just as advertised! Very easy to find and access. The dogs enjoyed sniffing everything and eating whatever long grass they could find around the perimeter. We were even greeted with a handmade sign welcoming us! So adorable!

This was our first Sniffspot visit. My girls ran, played and of course sniffed in a safe environment. What more could you ask for?

This was my first time ever on sniffspot and I am very glad that I booked this location. We stayed in the gated area and it was enough for the two dogs to run and play in. Will definitely consider again in the future! Kayla was also responsive and I appreciate the custom note as well.

Our 2nd time back, the dogs had a great time! Definitely our go-to spot. Always a pleasure to come here. We’re glad we were able to book and get a confirmation in 2 hours.

Park by the Pond is a hidden gem. We had such a great experience! Kayla was quick to answer my pre-booking questions & so very kind. The location was easy to find, the fence secure, and so much room for the pups to race around. It was like playing in a meadow! The toys, treats, waste bags, large bowl of continuous water & large covered trash can were much appreciated. We left with two tired but happy dogs. 🙂 We highly recommend this SniffSpot.

Our second time back, this time with a shelter pup from HSMC - Humane Society of Marathon County. Kate was able to run FREE & she loved every minute! Thank you again for offering a safe space for the pups.

Lovely spot; the dog and i ran around in the well-stocked fenced area for awhile then walked around the mowed area. We both enjoyed the visit. Everything a person and their dog need for an enjoyable outing.

Husky mix shelter dog Mumford approved. I was nervous about taking him because he might be an escape artist but no worries he was completely safe and had a great day out

Always a great experience & so appreciative of having this amazing spot for our family dogs as well as the Humane Society of Marathon County (HSMC) dogs. Adoptable Patchouli loved being free to roam. 🩷

Adoptable Bear was smiling from ear to ear the entire time! He loved being able to run & sniff and play with toys and we really appreciated the fenced area since he can be a bit of an escape artist. 😏 Thank you again! 🐾 💙

Great first time using Sniffspot. The yard was as described and pictured. My puppy really enjoyed being able to run around off leash.

FAQ about our Wausau 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.
