55We had a great time! The trails were wide and easy to follow. Patricia warned us about the mud after yesterday’s rain, so we were prepared with rain boots (for me) and towels for the car ride home. Cole LOVED the creek and pond. It was buggy in the middle of the property, so I’d probably wear deet next time… but that’s expected this time of year.Katie M.

55This property is absolutely beautiful! The trails were clearly marked so it was easy getting around and finding our way even in the snow. Lots of sniffs and we were able to the blue trail loops twice resulting in a very happy and tired pup. There are a couple of small bodies of water so bring a towel or sheet of some sort for your car as it can get pretty muddy. The host was prompt in her responses and she was informative. We'll definitely be back!Talisha M.

55The pups and I had a great time! We walked the blue trail 3 full times in an hour—according to my GPS, a full loop is about 3/4 mile. We all got some good exercise and enjoyed ourselves. It was my first time at this spot, and I had a few questions, which Patricia answered quickly. She was also very accommodating when I asked to extend my time. If you go in the winter, make sure you bring a vehicle with all-wheel drive, since the driveway is slightly sloped. (I got stuck but dug myself out.)Anne H.

55The trails are lovely! I will likely be back!
I was a bit uncertain about the entrance, as there is no street number marker visible from the road, but google maps took me to a short driveway by the red barn in some of these photos, so I parked there. I think the next spot to pull in going west on the road would also work.
It's also not clear where the boundary is on the east side, so I opted not to continue on the trail that seemed to lead into someones mowed yard, especially because there was a dog barking periodically in that direction.

55Wonderful hike today at Patricia and Kevin's spot! With the leaves beginning to change, the woods were beautiful. Great communication with hosts. Beautiful, wide, well marked, mostly level trails through woods and past fields. If you are concerned about recall you could comfortably walk your dog on-leash here without getting tangled up. Indy found plenty of little ponds to play in (we will visit the big pond next time!) and the cave formation was really interesting. If you have a water-loving "mud monster" like me, just make sure you brings some towels. We will be back soon!Michele P.

55This spot was AMAZING. Easy to find with the directions and there were wide, well-maintained (and shaded) trails that were super easy to follow. We followed the white trail markers which led us in a loop back towards the pond. It was so quiet and peaceful, especially in the woods. The dogs had a blast, so many different smells to investigate and the pond is beautiful! We’ll definitely be back to explore more!Katy H.

55Great trails to explore! We will definitely be back for longer than an hour. It was tough to understand which trail to take to stay under our booking time, so ended up cutting back on a shorter trail and playing fetch for a bit with the remaining few minutes. My dog had a blast. Kayla H.

FAQ About Selkirk 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.

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.
