55This place is the real deal! The trails really do feel like real woodland hiking, and they have the best/most clear signage of any Sniffspot I’ve been to. Plus the DNR land in the back adds that much more acreage. There’s multiple ponds and it’s fun to hike from one to another to the clearing, etc. Amiya M.

55What a great spot! Like heaven for dogs. I loved all the cute brick/stone structures, paths, ponds, etc. And so cool that you can build a fire and hang out in a couple different places. We’ll have to go back another time when it’s not almost dark 🙂Anne E.

55Danielle, Paul, Vettel and Nala’s sniffspot is a dream property! I had been wanting to teach my little Whippet puppy Naia how to paddle board and wanted to find easy access to a spot where there wouldn’t be a lot of life traffic. This spot is it!
Thanks to this lovely family, we were able to accomplish our first paddling adventure!
First, this lake is GORGEOUS and so is the property. Danielle is an excellent communicator and was so invested in us having a positive experience (which we did, thanks to her!). The property is easy to find. Parking spot marked for us Sniffers! Danielle is simply lovely and was very accommodating towards us. Even offering us post paddle local hiking trails and a local market. So thoughtful!
Access to the lake is super easy and a very shallow step entry. Perfect height for Naia to step right from the last step onto the board!
We did a 930a morning paddle and it was very calm and serene. Perfect day! We can’t wait to come back! Crystal H.

55We always have such an incredible time at Black Pond Farm! My packs love sprinting along the trails, playing tug in the woods, rolling around in the pasture, bounding through the tall grass, climbing mossy stumps, leaping over logs, and of course sploshing in the pond. We also appreciate access to the DNR land for extra wild smells! I haven't posted a review in awhile (Sorry, Tim!) so I'm including some of my favorite photos from July and August. Thanks for hosting us!Aubbie B.

FAQ about our Bonners Ferry 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bonners Ferry 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 1 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.
