The best Sniffspot we've ever been to. I only wish they offered weekend bookings so we could come back more. My dogs enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming. Next week day I have off work I hope to come back.
55We had such a good time!! The main trails were easy to follow, neatly groomed and clean. The off trails were pretty muddy and I was in crocs so we didn’t venture on those much. I even jumped in the pond a couple of times with the dogs and it felt amazing in today’s 90+ degrees heat! The pond and dock/boardwalk were the main attraction for my water-loving dogs. Such a beautiful view, I enjoyed sitting with my feet in the water. We’ll definitely be going back! Poop bags and poop stations were all over- it was very helpful! Loved seeing the ducks briefly, we didn’t linger in that area though to avoid stressing the ducks out (my dogs are chill about farm animals as they live on a farm, too!). Meagan C.

554 AM wake up. 4 hour roundtrip. And 100 percent worth it! We took our reactive dog Cookie to this place. It is secured with full fence. It has a beautiful lake with kayaks, and some farm animals. Perfectly maintained trails, and everything you need provided right there!
We spent two peaceful hours walking, observing, reminiscing, dreaming, and having breakfast while Cookie enjoyed real freedom off-leash. If you have a reactive dog, you know how special this is 🥹 Recommend it for all dog owners! Here is our mini vlog: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLJH3fMsfyV/?igsh=MWNkcnBpeDAycndnNQ==SEDA B.

55Amazing place to take your dog off leash in the woods. I just rescued a young dog 4 months ago and while we’re working on recall she can’t be off leash yet in a highly distracting environment. It was amazing to watch her have a blast off leash and know she was safe. The path is well maintained, the pond has a nice dock, perfect for cooling off after a run through the woods. There is livestock on the property but they’re contained and it was easy to keep my dog away from them. Nicole P.

55The space is amazing! Great trails around and lots of open space. First thing Shaggy did was jump straight in the pond! Very well maintained, with plenty of resources for guests as well. Emunknown X.

55This was our second time visiting but won't be the last! The tranquility of Rolling Wild Acres cannot be overstated. They recently rebuilt the dock as well, which one dog promptly fell off, to our laughter! We can't wait to go back. Jenny B.

55Truly my dogs new favorite place on earth! The trails are beautiful and clean and the pond is wonderful for water loving dogs (Lab heaven). Some good tips for owners: the trails behind the river can be muddy so wear shoes you don’t mind getting a little yucky and if you are testing recall (great place to do it!) leash once you get back to parking or your curious dog might try to say hi again to the adorable pigs, chickens and ducks! Love this Sniffspot so much! Celia P.

55Awesome spot. It was pretty wet after a heavy rain and we didn't bring good rain shoes but around the lake is beautiful. Our senior pittie loved it and slept the whole way home. Will be back again!Krista P.

55We loved bringing our German Shepherd here! Tyson gets anxious around people, so having this gorgeous place to explore with him while not having to worry about running into other people was perfect! He loved having the freedom to run around and play (and he loved that it was snowing!). It was easy to enter the sniffspot and it was a great afternoon for all of us :-) we can’t wait to come back!

55My dogs and I had the absolute best time! We are in town for Christmas and they needed to blow off some steam and this was the perfect spot for that. They had so much fun doing laps around the trails — I don’t think they stopped running for more than a minute the entire time we were there. We can’t wait to come back in a couple days! Lindsay H.

55We didn't have the best weather during our visit but it was our youngest dog's birthday so we HAD to celebrate with a visit to his favorite sniffspot!! He did not care about the rain at all and had the time of his life, as usual, at rolling wild acres. 😃 He was a very happy birthday boy!! Anaysantos M.

FAQ About Rootstown 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.
