55Truly a gem of property. Wide open, with rolling hills, and just a bit of wooded area. It is my dogs dream of a place and I'm so thankful and grateful to have rented it. Will absolutely be back all we can to enjoy it. If you have a wooly or curly dog, bring a brush in case of burs.Paige A.

55Great property! Easy to follow instructions, clean as a whistle, beautiful landscape. If your dog is great or even fair at recall, they will have a blast. Appreciate the waste bucket & bag station at the parking area. Libby B.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it will be hard to beat! I have one reactive dog who doesn’t often get to run and this was a great location for her. Lots and lots of room to run. Leslie H.

55This may have been the best 90 minutes of my dog’s year to date! For a dog-reactive, occasionally people-spooked city dog, Rookie’s park was a dream: a huge, open expanse filled with interesting smells and the chance to run to her heart’s content. Diya is an independent soul with her own idea of recall, but I felt very safe with her off-leash here. The space has great visibility and well-defined borders—you’re far from roads and nothing beyond Rookie’s is more enticing that all that’s in it. Very clean, gently rolling landscape easy to traverse, beautiful ponds—perhaps the best Sniffspot ever!Michelle O.

55Really lovely open space to let the dogs run free! If your dog doesn’t have a pretty solid recall I wouldn’t let them be off leash here but otherwise it is so much fun! Sophie G.

55This is a great option for dogs who love some woods - we didn’t even make it around the entire loop, my pups were having such a great time in the shady ravine area! We appreciated the picnic table too. We look forward to exploring more in the future - this spot it a bit of a trek for us - it will be a special treat when it works out for us to visit again! Seriously happy dogs and delightful for humans too!
We did briefly hear a dog on a neighboring property, but never saw anyone unexpected.Corinna T.

55First time I’ve been since it was iced over! It was great as usual ❤️
There is a pond and I’m always fearful of blue green algae - if your dogs are prone to jumping in the water be aware - thankfully I was able to wipe my maniac down
Just a fantastic oasis for city dogs Rachel R.

55We’ve been visiting this spot regularly for
nearly a year and my dog always has the best time. Often he protests getting in the car at the end because he’s not ready to leave! Trails are well maintained in all seasons and we love taking a break at the picnic tables. Jenn H.

55Awesome place to bring your dogs. It felt like we rented our own private state park without the chance of running into other dogs or people. The trails are well kept and the perfect length for the hour we were there. We kept two of our dogs on long lines as their recall is not the best and this was a perfect chance to practice it. So much sniffing was had and all three are now passed out!Kristyen K.

55This is a dream private dog park! It really does feel like you are hiking in a state park without fear of running into other dogs off leash. The trails are so fun and besides my doggo having a blast, we got a 2 mile hike in with her so we got some exercise ourselves! We will be back for sure!Tracy B.

FAQ about our Lester Prairie 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.
