55Matt messaged me with instructions that morning which was very helpful. We were prepared for bugs (flies and mosquitoes), and dressed appropriately / brought bug spray, but there was also some available, which was nice. The flies were pretty bad, but we kept moving at a brisk pace! This place is so big I’m not sure how far it was before we doubled back to the car so we could get back before our hour ended. We did find a tick on our dog at home, (he IS on preventative and it was just on his fur, it was easy to brush off and smother with a little rubbing alcohol), but ticks are bad all over this year, it’s good to be aware of! We’re looking forward to making it farther out next time, it was great exercise for an energetic husky. Thank you!!! 🙏🏻Sarah Z.

55Safe walk/run/hike today. Plenty of shade. Bugs are not bad currently. We saw some disc golfers in a small section parallel with the sniffspot trail. It was a good distraction for the dogs to work through. We saw one dog with the disc golfers. It was nicely on leash. My dog worries about unknown dogs but we worked through it nicely without too much hyper focus. Trail has a lot of greenery. Careful with small stumps on trail. They look like just branches but hey, you’re hiking in nature. It’s expected.
I thought it was a nice touch for host to have two clean bowls and fresh water ready for us where we parked. Very thoughtful. A small can is present for leaving bagged poop.
I love this spot. We came over winter in the snow and had a blast. Spring seems to be a fun time too!
We wanted to get a run/walk/hike in on Memorial Day without worry of the chaos at parks. It was perfect!Samantha W.

55This was just our second time using Sniffspot and we had another incredible experience. My pup is a rescue and is very fearful and reactive to both people he doesn’t know and other dogs. He had a fantastic time off-leash running the trails for a full hour. He even jumped in the water. He loved this place so much, we will definitely be back! Seeing him so happy is everything. Marcy H.

55The trails were clearly marked and well kept. Please be aware that there are a few uneven terrain and some spots with tree stumps. It was clean and peaceful. We were able to see plenty of animals on our walk ( turkey/deers/ducks/birds). I think good recall is a must on the property if you're going to have your dog off leash. We did see the mini disc golf course next door but did not see anyone other than the neighbors in the beginning of the trail. It was great and we definitely would like to come back. Michele C.

55Long trails that are very well kept! My dogs had a lot of exploring around the edges and it took us about an hour to do the main loop, then spent our last half hour hitting the turns we didn’t take before. Owner was very nice and helpful. We definitely plan a return visit!Alexander P.

55Great place! We saw some people at the disc golf course, but there is a wire fence along that property line. Trails are wide and marked with wooden signs. Before we arrived, the host let us know they'd be doing some work in the garage by the entrance, but they'd keep the doors closed to keep our space. The dogs loved itKaitlyn E.

55My puppy had a blast! Trail is nice and wide (a two track in most places), and fairly well maintained. There are several places where the trail branches, but there isn’t a lot of risk of getting lost. Many of the intersections have arrows or are blocked with a sign to keep you on the right trail. We booked 1.5 hours, but definitely could have done the whole thing (including looping through some of the side trails) in an hour.
Watch your footing - the trail is uneven in places and there are lots of little stumps under the leaves. West side butts up against a public disc golf course (there are some parts that are fenced, but much of the fence is missing) but it was deserted on a cool, windy Friday morning.
Views over the lake are pretty, but there’s not a beach area or access to the water. I’m sure a motivated dog would find a trail through the cattails to find water, though.
Overall, a nice place for a peaceful walk in the woods. Absolutely recommended. We will be back!Meredith G.

55Best Sniffspot we’ve been to yet! The host is very gracious and is great at communicating. There’s so much room for our fur babies to run and sniff around, and we love the trails. The host provided water and a bin for your poop bags, and signs to navigate the trail. Our Pomeranian is a veteran park lover, but our young lab is still very shy around new people/dogs, so this is such a great option for us. We would definitely love to come back!!Lauren C.

FAQ About Holly 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. 10% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Holly 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 487 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 831 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.
