55I booked for two hours and had time to walk the long trail a couple times. My dog found lots to sniff, and both of us really enjoyed the trails! It was easy to follow the route, and very quiet and secluded. We will be back!Larae B.

55A lovely wooded walk with marked trails and easy parking. I kept my pup on leash because he’s a hound mix and in new places simply tracking all the smells is exciting and enriching and he absolutely loved all the newness to explore. Loved it.Jen M.

55Grimm and I had a great visit! Beautiful greenery in the summer, and the host was so lovely and helpful when I had trouble finding the property. The trail was very well marked and easy to access, sniffspot just had the address weird on its main page for some reason—no fault of the host, but she resolved the issue promptly. Looking forward to returning with friends!!Lainie B.

55The area matches the description exactly. We only did the small loop because we had a stroller and two dogs to manage between my husband and I. It was a bit tough for a stroller because of the hills and a small down tree, but we knew that head of time. Overall, the trail was nice and clearly marked. There was a dog outside the house when we arrived, but they respected the invisible fence that is a good distance from the trail.
This is a great place to take my reactive dog that used to love hiking at state parks. As he's gotten older he's less tolerant of strangers, so this Sniffspot is perfect for him.Effie K.

55We really enjoyed our time here! The trail through the woods was beautiful and well maintained, and labeled well! There was a couple of spots with an incline, but nothing horribly difficult.
There is definitely wildlife nearby as stated, so a reliable recall for off leash dogs is necessary. We had a deer run close by us in the middle of the day which was awesome to see.
We would definitely recommend this Sniffspot, even if your dog isn’t great off leash, and just wanted somewhere nice to take your dog on a walk on leash. Elizabeth C.

55Visited this spot with my dog-aggressive senior pitty boy. I’m a dog behavior consultant in the area, so this was to scope out a potential safe spot for my clients and continued personal visits!
Pros:
-description is exact, no surprises!
-trail is marked and easy to follow
-host was kind to put her dogs away in advance for, and during, our visit
-felt like being in a private state park! Beautiful, quiet, and lots of shade
Considerations:
-my dog is a senior, so the occasional large tree across the path was a little tough for him to navigate
-goats may be playing in the brush loose at the beginning of the trail 😂
-trail is meant for hiking for sure! We were well prepared with human hiking boots, but there was a bit of mud for this part of the season!
-again, senior dog and some of the hills/inclines were sloooow and steady for him Jacqueline D.

55We loved this spot! Hiking trails are marked and relatively clear. Definitely wear good shoes cuz there are a couple of sloped sections. Trails go through the woods, so bug spray may be necessary depending on the time of year. Did the long trail in about 40 minutes so we looped back around and did the short trail to round out an hour. Great spot, we’ll definitely be back!Heidee P.

55We just had an amazing time visiting this spot for our first time. We took the long trail and the timing (1 hr visit) was perfect! My 2 dogs were in sniff heaven, it was quiet (which is a godsend for my noise reactive dog), and it was great exercise for all of us. We're already looking forward to our next visit! Tom K.

FAQ About Whitmore 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. 10% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Whitmore 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 501 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 848 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.
