55This was our second time visiting on our way from the Leelanau Peninsula home to Chicago. It’s a perfect way to break up a long drive for my dog David (and for me)! He loved the frogs in the pond and getting to run on the trails! We’ll be back again for sure.Sarah G.

55We had a great time as always! My dog is so happy here. This Sniffspot is everything a dog could want! (There were some small fireworks across the lake my dog wasn't thrilled about. Just something to be aware of if you have a nervous dog!)Lisa C.

55Another fantastic visit. The wide-brim sun hats on the chairs were a life saver with a pesky fly… he never bothered me again! Thank you so much for thinking of everything! The boys and I got lots of fresh air and exercise! 😊Ali S.

55Such a wonderful opportunity to let your pup really run without being nervous they won’t come back. The access instructions were simple to follow and it was surprisingly easy to find. The trails are very well maintained. Will definitely be back!Maggie O.

55Always a wonderful visit! Brent always does an amazing job on the trails, keeping them safe and clear. We love the easy access to the water pump & bowl. Literally everything is provided… poop bags, mosquito repellent, hand sanitizer and even sun hats on the chairs today. I think every time we visit, something new has been added. We notice and appreciate every detail and effort they give to make our experience even better. We’re blessed to have them share their space with us. 🩷 Thank you!Ali S.

55Always an amazing time at Brent and Chrissy’s! Trails were in great shape and even though there were a couple trees down from the storm, Brent gave us assurance that he went and looked at them and they were easy to navigate around! We appreciate it! Emma V.

55Such a wonderful place to visit! We went early in the morning to prevent our fearful pup from hearing the shooting range, and it was so peaceful! It's the only Sniffspot I've visited where my dogs don't get bored after ~45 minutes. The fencing is secure but a little short for my fence-hopper, so he got to drag a longline around for most of the trip.Lauren B.

55Our pup had so much fun at this Sniffspot! He loves going on trails, but being able to do so off leash was amazing! There is a lot to explore, including a pond that our pup jumped into a few times! It’s a very quiet, peaceful area and our nervous dog enjoyed every second we were there. I highly recommend bringing your dogs here! Becca S.

55What an experience! The hosts greeted us with a gift for me (and left a tennis ball in the woods for the dogs), gave us a quick primer on the property and left us to explore. We did at least 2 loops in and out during the hour and each time we covered the same area we saw something new. This area is large enough to be interesting for the dogs but small enough to not worry about losing them. The pond is excellent, next time I'll bring a floaty toy to try to get the dogs to jump off the dock. We will be back!Michelle C.

55Came today to celebrate Lola’s 4th birthday and we had a blast! She is anxious and reactive so this spot was so great for her. We did hear barking (as expected because we were notified of it beforehand!) but my girl did just fine. The trails were nice and the pond was by far Lola’s favorite part! Brent and Chrissy really made this a special place and we will be back!! Rachel L.

FAQ About Twin Lake 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. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Twin Lake area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 70 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 168 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
