55Tony was very friendly. It was easy to park right in front of the spot! We did hear other dogs barking throughout the visit and could see them through the fence (two layers, the one around the Sniffspot and the one around their kennels) at different points, like the gated entrance area. So I wouldn't recommend this as a first-time visit for a dog who really struggles with either fear- or frustration-based reactivity — BUT if your pup can handle other dogs within view on occasion, it's an incredible fenced-in area with plenty of room to roam. Lovely little trails to follow. The woods are just beautiful!Haley Y.

55A wonderful place!! Took my 14 year old corgi mix for her birthday today and it was safe and accessible to her as a dog with sight problems, hearing problems, and spinal degeneration. A great place for a sniff walk and we will be back againSam E.

55Such a beautiful and well thought out area, like taking your dogs on a hike off leash but you don’t have to worry about them getting away or running into other dogs. A great opportunity to build value for recalls! Also super cool that there’s a frisbee golf course inside so the humans can do something while the dogs run around. Only thing I would say is if you have very reactive dogs we did hear a bit of barking from the boarding area, but didn’t bother me! Madison E.

55This was a fantastic little spot to let your pups run! The fence is great and your pup won’t be able to dig out or anything. It is a dog boarding place so there were dogs around. They didn’t come up to the fence, we could just hear them. Something to consider if you have a reactive dog. One of our dogs is reactive and this was a great space to do some training. It was great because he could hear the dogs and one place he could see them, so it was just a really great opportunity to practice our commands around distractions. However, if the sound of dogs barking upsets your pup, this is something to take into consideration. Aaron E.

55Baxter and us had a pawsome adventure exploring the expansive 5-acre wooded dog park! It was such a relief to let him romp off-leash while we followed the scenic trails, winding through clearings adorned with charming old stone walls. The double-gated entry and secure fence provided complete peace of mind, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the moment. We can't wait to return.Jim B.

55Really incredible spot. We’re training our pup (4 months) and this spot is perfect to practice off leash walking. There was a lot of barking from nearby dogs so be aware of that if your dog is reactive or fearful, but that was also good exposure/training for us and didn’t bother our pup at all. Our boy Zuko had a blast, we’ll definitely be back! Mackenzie R.

55Not reactive dog friendly
This place butts up against 2 dog kennels, so if you have a reactive dog I wouldn’t recommend brining them here. Saying that, if you have a friendly dog and one who can turn away and ignore the doggy distractions this is an amazing place to bring them! The area was clean with good walking trails! The fence did come off the ground in some places enough a determined dog could get under, and one of the gates was open(probably the wind) so if you don’t have a dog with good recall then walk the fence line first. Will definitely be back Jasmine P.

55just as described.read the reviews. great place. there are some kennels near the entrance that housed a few dogs that were very well behaved. there are barking dogs in a separate fenced in area towards the far side that runs along side the fenced in area you’re in. these dogs are different than the ones you will see near the entrance. you won’t see them until you walk to them. your dogs will probably sprint off towards the barking like mine did and all you can think is hurry up and get there fast. bring a disc.. there are a couple disc golf baskets. also some bug spray.

55What an awesome spot! Our two dogs enjoyed the variety of terrain. It was the perfect size. There were barking dogs around the fenced area in kennels, but our dogs did not mind too much! We spent about two and a half hours here and could have spent longer without us or the dogs getting bored. We had a disc in the car and played some of the disc golf holes in the area as well. Great place and will certainly return if we are back in the area in the future! Sylvia S.

55Our dogs had an absolute blast. We wandered around exploring the little trails -there's dense woods with plenty for humans to see. My favorite was the old stone wall, and the absolutely massive old pine tree. Buddy's favorite was a mouse hole he found, and Molly was delighted to run. The fence was nylon on post with the base secured by stones and logs, worked really well.
I don't think we even got any ticks! Well worth it. Anne T.

FAQ about our Penobscot 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Penobscot area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 12 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
