55Had a wonderful time today…taking Clara, my 9 month old Chesapeake Retriever and Luke, my four year old Miniature Poodle. It was a great opportunity to ‘flood them’ with farm animals, who were so calm and relaxed. They sprinted happily on the trails in the back for an hour, with a water break at the halfway point, back at the car. I live in South Barrie, and loved that only took 20 minutes to drive there.

55Yesterday was another great time! This was my best visit yet, with perfect weather and no bugs in September. The water is also beautiful and clear at this time of year and my dog enjoyed chasing the minnows. Thanks again to our host for always going above and beyond for an exceptional experience!Victoria F.

55First time visiting. It was lovely to see fresh water set out for the dogs by the parking spot! Thank you. We had a great hike while the pups ran and ran and swam! Beautiful spot to relax at. We are now home and have very tired pups. Thank you. Tamra M.

55Had an amazing time with our reactive pup Lola. Lots of trails and things to explore and I don't think we even got to see everything over the hour that we were there! Such a special place and the first time in a long while that we felt safe having her off leash. Really great signage around the trails as well.Amy V.

55This spot is wonderfully maintained and offers a diversity of options, including an open play area, water access and beautiful trails. We ended up wishing we’d booked for several more hours to explore more of the trails. The host is incredibly responsive and friendly, and ease of comfort for guests is a top priority as is evidenced by the excellent signs throughout the trails and clear directions. We cannot wait to visit again! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Jordan K.

FAQ about our Utopia 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Utopia 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 148 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 27 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.
