55I was tempted to give a low rating because I want this spot available only for myself! This is a great location with a very gracious host. Part of the trail does back up against the neighboring disc golf course, so I would not recommend this for dogs who may be human reactive, but even so, this is only a small portion of the trail and the players we saw on the other side did not bother us. I do recommend wearing hiking boots and be prepared for your pups to come home dirty and happy! Overall, this was a wonderful experience and we are likely to be back in the near future. Rose A.

55This sniff spot was amazing. My pup was pedal to the metal. I booked 2 hours but she started getting tired after about 40 minutes, so we stayed an hour. As soon as she spotted the pond a short bit up the main trail that was where she spent most of her time. The area is very nice and the trails are great. I thought I was lost and got off track since I seemed very close to a disc golf course to the west, but Matt confirmed I was on the right track. Wear hiking or muck boots, they will get muddy. Bring a towel for your dog even if they don’t go in the water. My dog is very tired, happy, wet, and dirty. She had a great time. I will book this spot again. KELLY S.

55Our husky boy had a blast running the long trails. It was a very hot day, but the shade definitely helped us keep cool. Spent two hours but could have spent all day out there walking! Ayla V.

55Had a great time on the trails, our dogs absolutely loved all the smells and the surrounding area.looking forward to going back and discover the pond! The only issue (which wasn’t a real issue) there is a fence running along one of the trails, my dog was small enough to slip through the fence and when I tried to get her back through she all of a sudden couldn’t fathom going through the fence, ha. So just watch along that fence w small/medium dogs! Sarah F.

55Very wide trail, great signage, and lots of places to sniff! Will say make sure to bring bug spray, flies are out this time of year. Luckily we brought out so they weren’t too much of a problem. Beautiful property Douglas C.

55This spot was AWESOME! My dogs throughly enjoyed themselves. As others have mentioned - I would definitely bring bug spray and do NOT wear Birks or sandals. IF anyone asked my opinion I would say a wastebasket would be helpful.
Thanks very much for having us! We WILL be back!Jamie G.

55My dogs loved it here! The host provided everything you need. There are bugs, but there is bug spray provided when you get there. The trails are are well kept and easy to follow with the signs provided. I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone walking with a reactive dog. They can experience being at a park without being interrupted by other doggies. Julia C.

55My dogs loved it! The mosquitos were real heavy so make sure to bring some spray but it’s definitely worth it. My pups had a blast and the trail is pretty clear as well, it’s a fun trail and lots of smells and space for them to roam. Ana K.

55This was perfect! This is right next to a park, so we saw a couple walking, but both of my dogs watched the people for a second and moved on. No bugs based on the time we came 😊veronica a.

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.

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.

FAQ about our 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. 96% 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 394 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 39 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.
