55We had so much fun! The trail itself is well maintained, the little ponds on the property were a great place for the dogs to cool off, and having the hose right near the parking area was great because we could wash off some of the mud from their fur after our hike. The dogs had a blast - definitely fully fenced & wonderfully maintained. We wish we were closer so that we could come more often! Louisa S.

55Lost my Husky Emi a couple of times into the woods and within 15 minutes she was back - perimeter fence works great and its wonderful to let her off leash without worrying about her pulling a "Littlest Hobo" on me. The lab found the cooling ponds before we did - I heard a splash and when I caught up with him, he was diving and having a great time! We will be a regular to this spot!Jay P.

55Visited the spot for the first time today. Absolutely wonderful!! I took my dog there because I wanted to see how well she would do with recall in a new environment. I was very impressed with the trails and fencing. Totally safe, no need to worry and to top it off, beautiful surroundings. Will be attending frequently!!! Exactly what this community needs!!!Denise C.

55I took my 2 year old Great Pyrenees who struggles with recall when dogs or people are around and this was perfect! His first time walking a trail completely off leash. He loved the ponds - he is not a swimmer but got right in and tried to catch frogs. Beautiful property and so peaceful! Felt safe and secure. Highly recommend for training or just letting your dog be a dog! We will be back often! 😊Kate O.

55Fantastic experience! The property is clean and well maintained. The host, Cathy, is friendly and very professional. The whole trail takes about 45 mins to walk at a slow to medium pace. It's a bit hilly in a couple spots but easy to navigate. We will definitely be booking again very soon. Sally and JoeSally And Joe F.

FAQ about our Lake of Bays 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 Lake of Bays 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 19 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 3 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.
