55This is a wonderful property with clearly laid out trails. We had an amazing time, but more importantly our dogs were able to explore and play and enjoy themselves thoroughly. Emily M.

55This spot is fantastic!!! Beautiful place, extremely well maintained, signs everywhere indicating where to park and the main trails. Martin truly went above and beyond by providing a paper map too which was amazing. A garbage can at the entrance/exit which is the first time I’ve seen that at a Sniffspot.
This might just be my favorite spot so far!Georgia W.

55Great trail network, came on a rainy winter day so I can imagine how beautiful it is in the summer. Martin was super welcoming and provided a helpful map illustrating the property. It took 1 hour to cover the outer perimeter, and it would probably take over 2 hours to cover the entire network but we didn’t get that far, next time though! The trails are well maintained for sure, and my dog loved swimming and zooming through the forest and brush. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends :)Amanda W.

55Great first visit at this fantastic spot. The trails are clearly marked and very well maintained with lots of options for different routes for you and your pup. Martin was a great host, he provided us with a map of the trails on arrival and let us know which areas to avoid with all the rain lately. Even with the wet weather our dog had an awesome time!

55Archie had a fantastic time running around the trails, jumping into the marshy areas and generally targeting anything that was muddy and wet (of course). He also loved off-roading into the bushes as evidenced by the little burrs that he collected along the way in the photo (but i knew it would happen and Martin indicated in the description as well which was also super helpful). The trail is nicely marked and I like that it has a variety of paths. Martin provided a map to also help us navigate our time. The hour went by so quickly and we would definitely come again!Christine C.

55Really well maintained trails with some forested parts, some more meadowed areas and even a small creek that my dog loves going for a small swim in! Some of the trails are closer to the road, but it isn't loud or busy and my dog didn't notice at all! She was able to be fully off leash the entire time without any issues. The entire area would be great in any season, just be sure to wear the right shoes because it can be a bit on the wetter side We'll be back for sure - she had a great time! Katherine M.

55What an incredible spot Martin has! This is truly a dog, and owner’s, paradise. It’s like having your own private conservation area all to yourself. There are so many trails to explore and it’s easy to spend more than an hour walking along the trails. We rented the spot for an hour and a half, for 7 dogs, and we could have definitely done even longer. It was so nice for us to have a visit with peace of mind knowing the dogs could run around and not have to worry about running into anyone, or recalling around the bends. There was also plenty of open space for them to have some zoomies together. Boots are definitely a must if you want to visit all parts of the property, as there are some marshy areas, but Martin was great at greeting me when I first arrived and giving me some pointers on how to avoid some of the very wet areas. I very much appreciate the affordable price of this spot and even though it’s over an hour drive, we will most certainly be back again. Thank you Martin for sharing your beautiful property with others!Sarah W.

55Wonderful place to take your dog. Beautiful place with many trails. We got a map immediately upon arrival, but but directionally challenged, the many signs were very helpful. My normally nervous dog made herself at home right from the get go and had a great time. We also enjoyed the peacefulness of the walk. We will be back!April T.

FAQ about our Brantford 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Brantford 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 164 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 24 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.
