55This was such a fun spot!!! Pom had a blast running around the vineyard. My dog did escape the fencing so be aware if you have an escape artist but other than that it was wonderful and we would go back.Sarah H.

55Place was amazing!! Had a dog birthday party with 6 dogs. No one got out. The place was towards the back of a winery in the vineyard. We spent an 1.5 hours there. Host was amazing! Water was available for dogs. Brought out a menus for us. We also used the bathroom inside. There was also shaded chairs and a garbage for poop bags.
Would definitely go again! Zoe W.

55My family and our 3 pups met up this morning for a quick 1 hour run around and had a really great time! The area was clean, quiet, and safe. There weren't any areas that our dogs could escape out of. The only thing is that there were a few chickens walking around when we first got there and our dogs went crazy. I think the chickens got scared of our dogs though because they stayed away pretty much the rest of the time. I recommend this spot!!Reo F.

55Wasn’t exactly sure what to expect with it being a vineyard but it was amazing. Sort of a long drive from Minneapolis but we had something to do near by. And it was worth it.
My dog loved it. He raced and sniffed and loved hearing the sheep in their pen.
The place is lovely.Emily P.

55Very nice spot. Lots of room to explore, sheep and chickens to visit, trails to wander down. The kids had a great time choosing which “secret passage” to go down next. Rachel F.

55A nice, quiet spot! I’ve seen comments about the fencing - it was nice and secure for us. Our dog enjoyed all the smells, farm sounds and good running space. The only thing was we didn’t realize we’d be in with the grapes (we should have looked at photos closer), so we were a little nervous she might try to eat them. She didn’t pay attention to them (but picked up some fallen apples) but wanted to give a heads up to the owner’s whose pups eat things they maybe shouldn’t. 😅Brooke H.

55I reserved a spot real early in the morning and arrived before they'd gotten notified of it. Elizabeth was great and showed me the ropes a bit and left us to it, real nice lady. She allows you to drive into the fenced vineyard a bit and lock your vehicle in with you and your dogs for the utmost seclusion. There are trails beyond the fenced portion, but dogs must be leashed beyond the fenced area. There are some sheep in their own enclosed vineyard along a part of the leashed area. The paths were beautifully maintained, water provided. All in all we had an amazing time, and afterwards I popped into their winery but they were busy and with hot pups in a hot car I didn't get a chance to try any, but I guess that means we have to come back 😉 Alyzabeth O.

55We had such a great experience at this spot! Our 3 dogs loved sprinting around smelling and playing in this beautiful vineyard. The hosts were super welcoming and we were able to take a glass of wine with some cheese into the sniffspot to sip and watch our dogs play. Will definitely come back! Gabriela G.

FAQ about our North Branch 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.
