55Beautiful spot! My dog gets too excited with other people/dogs around but loves being in the woods, so this was the perfect place for her to run around off leash! Lots to explore and very peaceful. Excited to come back in other seasons too! Arnela G.

55A beautiful spot for a nature walk with your dog! Was walkable for my six year old cousin with a tiny bit of help. It is a bit steep in places, and lots of roots/branches on the ground, but not enough to be a problem for most people or dogs. Gorgeous views of the river and even a place you can dip your feet if you want to. Would recommend for anyone looking for a medium challenge medium distance hike with their dog in a private place, a very peaceful spot!Kai M.

FAQ About Waterville 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.
