This a beautiful spot to bring your pups for a private dog park experience. This type of reservable space is great for owners who need or want a secure place to bring their dogs for exercise without the concern of other people or dogs being there at the same time. This allows for non-social dogs to enjoy the outdoors with their owners without other dogs around! You could book with a friend for a one-on-one doggie playdate on neutral ground! It couldn't be any nicer! I will be back & I will tell everyone I know to check it out! Thank You!

Our friend was visiting us from the city with her dog that can be aggressive with other dogs. This beautiful park gave him a safe place to run and explore off leash. The pinic tables provided a nice place for us to visit while Briggs played. The grounds were impeccably clean and maintained. Bags and scoops were easily accessible for quick clean ups. There were alot of extras like insect repellent, water, toys, hand sanitizer, etc... i would highly recommend a visit to this place with your favorite furry friend.

Beautiful large fenced area with trees for shade. Nice picnic area if you want to bring a lunch. There are clean bowls and water provided. I would definitely go back!

The area was super well maintained and had a lot of nice areas to sit in the sun or the shade. Water, bowls, toys, a kiddie pool, and even whipped cream for pup cups were all available. We drove an hour to visit this spot and it was well worth it! Our 3 dogs slept the whole car ride home! We will definitely be back! There were a couple of people/dogs from the neighborhood walking on the road near the fence enclosure, but the host discloses that before booking and it didn't cause any disruption to our experience!

Very easy to get too as less than a mile from 371. So perfect for our 4 dogs. Lots of trees, higher fence, very well maintained and lots of toys for the pups. Also has hose for water, sprinkler, small pool, and bags and disposal for the poop. Plus they have picnic tables so we picked up food in Little Falls and ate while our pups ran around and got tired out for the rest of our trip. Will definitely stop here every time we go up North!!

I absolutely love this Sniffspot! Having a dog with major anxiety, this peaceful, quiet spot is perfect for him. We will be back! If he will ever learn to relax, this is the setting and space he needs. Lots of toy options and water available. Thanks for being such a wonderful host!

So fun! My family has had a cabin on the lake forever and I’ve always walked by this spot but this was the first time trying it. We’ll definitely be back! Spacious, toys, and plenty of water.

We always love going to Erin’s sniffspot! Now that the weather is finally nice she has pools, super comfy chairs, and an awesome picnic table! We could have spent all day there! Gypsum, one of our adoptable dogs through Northern Lakes Rescue absolutely LOVED being able to run leash free!

Jessamyn F.

It was a very clean and spacious dog park. There are lots of trees and places to sit. They had closed off small spaces in the fence so small dogs couldn't escape. It was really nice to just be able to relax and not worry about other people or dogs showing up. We very much enjoyed this sniff spot, and they experience!

Kelsey L.

November 2024

We love coming to this spot! It’s a safe space for my dogs to run and sniff. It’s very comfortable for the humans supervising as well. Benches, chairs, yard swing. There’s water for the dogs when it’s warm enough and the little sandbox for digging is a favorite of my dogs’.

I recently visited Erin's Sniffspot and it was a great experience! The area is spacious, clean and kept up well. Erin has done an amazing job creating a safe environment, with a fenced area and even some equipment for extra fun. She was super friendly and responsive, making the booking process a breeze. She even set out towles, toys and water for our pups. If you're looking for a fantastic place for your furry friend to explore and enjoy, I highly recommend this Sniffspot! We can't wait to come back!
