55What an amazing place, thanks George ☺️ Dogs had a blast and we barely made a dent in exploring all the paths as the creek was their favorite. So happy this is near me, we will be back! Gillian N.

55The dogs loved the trails! I have seniors, cripples, and a stroller and we did well on the trails. Lots of little loops to keep the dogs happy! Creek was magical. Definitely book 2 hrs and give yourself time to explore! Nina Z.

55Amazing property! George is a wonderful host, who very kindly talked to us about his property. The map provided was excellent and a great help, along the various signs around the property marking the landmarks. My pup loved it and so did I. Gorgeous!
We stopped here to break the drive from up to down Island. Booked 2h and got to see most of it but you could easily spend more time exploring all the smaller trails. Can't wait to come back!Raphaelle M.

55This place was perfect!! It was such nice peace of mind to let my dog run and have the best time, without my head having to be on a swivel looking out for other dogs. George gave us humans a friendly greeting then gave space to my dog so she could go do her thing (which is lose her marbles and let loose in the woods). We will definitely be back.Larissa J.

55George’s nature park is a wonderful place to take our dogs on long lines and safely practice recall. George was so kind to come and meet us and give us a map and a lay of the land since it was our first visit. There were extensive trails to walk and a beautiful creek for the dogs to splash and drink. It was stress free knowing we wouldn’t run into any other dogs, as ours can be reactive. We are so fortunate to have George’s nearby and are already planning our next visit. George, thanks for all the work you’ d put in to make this beautiful private nature park and for sharing it with the larger community!Maria M.

55This was our second weekend in a row to George’s place and it is just amazing. We explored lots of new smaller trails this time- along the creek was the favourite. Our 6 year old loved it just as much as our dog so it’s an awesome place to get the whole family out for a walk without worrying about our reactive dog. We will be back!Kirsten M.

55George was waiting for me at the entrance to the property to show me where to park, and provided me with a map of his property. He is very nice! He did tell me that there is a neighbour who often walks the trails, so I kept my human reactive boy on leash. We ran into her about 20 mins in and she is also lovely and understanding of being barked at. If you have a human reactive dog I would keep this in mind!
The trails throughout the property were easy to follow and my dogs liked the stream to play in. We will definitely be back! Micheala O.

55What a wonderful experience. Our first time we were greeted at the entrance and immediately felt welcome. The map was super helpful and we could have gone for hours. Booked an hour, will probably do 1.5 or 2 next time to really stretch our legs.Michael B.

55The best spot! George is very friendly and welcoming, as he meets you to give you a map and explain the trails on the property. The trails are amazing! Our dog absolutely loved the trails. We spent 2.5 hours here after looking at the reviews and it was a great amount of time to see it all and take your time. My dog was off leash and didn’t have an issue, but she has good recall. There are some fast areas of the creek I’d watch extra careful maybe leash curious dogs. Kaysha M.

55This spot is our favourite! George met us and shared a map of the trails. The trails were flat so easy to walk and there’s a few landmarks to orient yourself while you wander. Lovely forested area with a great river/creek running through it - pretty fast moving in spots. Perfect spot for our dog and us! Sherry H.

FAQ about our Ladysmith 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.
