55Such a peaceful and beautiful place. The pond was clean and there were cut paths in the tall grass. Getting there was easy as the signs tell you where to go. Raegan B.

55Space was secure & private. Only saw other animals/people at time of entrance. The pond was a hit with my pups. Still plenty of shady areas to walk as well. Paths were cleared nicely. We had a great time!!! Marleah N.

55Awesome! The pond water was really clean, for a pond, no mucky dogs coming home!
The only slight issue was getting in and out of the car. There were horses when we got out of the car, no big for mine, they were just sad I didn’t let them play. But leaving there were two SUPER ADORABLE toddlers who wanted to play with my dogs. They had adult supervision who quickly led them away. My thing 1 is nervous around kids and hyper protective of thing 2, who has impulse control issues
So if your dogs wouldn’t do well, maybe text the host ahead of time
Overall, 5 giant stars! Definitely will return!Christi C.

55This is a great place to let your dog run and explore with the fencing eliminating those types of worries. The pond is big and clean. The owner mows a path around the field which is good for the human. Recommend wearing pants and shoes; also bring fresh water for your dog and yourself. I do bring a flat shovel in case we run into a snake but have yet to see one. Highly recommend this location.Linda O.

55Absolutely loved this sniff spot. Was wide open, private, and the signs were great. Def a spot you’ll want to book early in the morning or later in the afternoon because with all the sun it does get hot quick in the summer! But as long as you come prepared it’s wonderful. Cole G.

55Our 5 dogs needed a place to run and play off-leash and this was perfect for them! There’s a great field that they could run in and there’s a pond that is accessible if you choose. They were wet, dirty and tired for the ride home, which was exactly what we hoped for. Deborah G.

55This place was awesome! Clearly marked, good communication, great spot for one or multiple dogs. There’s rolling pasture with tall grass and a lake that’s not too large so your pet will always stay in view. I will absolutely be back! Wear appropriate shoes and bring bug spray!Gina C.

55Took my new 4 mo old Rottie puppy here today. She *loved loved loved* the geese on the pond (so did I). The spot is clean and spacious, walking tracts are mown ( for me to walk! ) and wild grown & grassy (for her to run and jump!). Total win! You won't be disappointed. Evelyn A.

55Such a great place for my chihuahuas to run around freely and enjoy the smell of grass under the sun. Time went by so quickly. Really enjoyed it and we will be back. Momoe A.

55This was my first sniffspot and it was GREAT!!! Bryan met us at the gate and was so welcoming and nice! The property is a dream to walk with dogs. So peaceful and lots of smells for the pups! The creek was amazing. We found two easy slopes to go down in the water that was pretty shallow and we all walked around in. The creek is just outside the fenced area but we felt very comfortable taking the dogs there. Man they had a great time. It filled my heart with happiness to do that with them. We will be back. Thank you Bryan! Oh but darnit I forgot to get the carrots out for your beautiful horse!! Next time :) Addie M.

55My pup had a great time! Many zoomies coming in and out of the water. Great place for a picnic as well, definitely feels like a secluded little escape. Kelley C.

FAQ About Lancaster 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.
