55This was the first spot I visited from Sniffspot, and it was wonderful. Rick was super nice, and it was easy to tell he loves animals. My 2 pups had a great time sniffing the area, but they mostly loved swimming in the pond. The entire property was clean and well maintained. I plan to bring my pups back weekly. Kelly C.

55Such a fun spot for the dogs to run and play. Rick also supplies some extras that make the stay even more enjoyable. We appreciated the rinse station, seating, toys, towels, and bug spray. The hiking paths are maintained so you don’t have to worry about overgrown grass or anything either. 10/10 recommend checking it out. Chey E.

55Wonderful place for my dog and for us. Rick, the owner thought of everything. He has a gazebo by the pond with water for the dogs. He has a wash station as you leave so you can wash your dog. He even has a towel to dry your dog. off. The grounds are beautiful - lots of room to run and play and hike. We live in DC and came out for a late afternoon visit at Rick's with our dog .

The property is such an incredible place to spend time with your dog — ours was only interested in the pond but we’ll definitely be back to explore the many fields and trails as well.

This was hands down the BEST Sniffspot I’ve ever been to! I took my dog, Wrenley, and we were both blown away by how incredible this place is. It’s a beautiful 30 acre property with a clean, private pond, easy to follow trails through the woods, and wide open fields for fetch and exploring. It truly felt like a dog’s dream come true!
From the moment we arrived, the host, Rick, made us feel so welcome. He was so kind and friendly! he met me right as I was parking, gave me a personal map of the entire property, and took the time to explain all the trails, open areas, and amenities we could enjoy. He had a big bin full of toys Renley could use, fresh water and a bowl ready, and even offered to bring us towels so thoughtful and above and beyond!
The pond was so well maintained! I could hear a quiet pump running under the dock, which really showed how much care Rick puts into keeping everything clean and inviting. The whole property felt safe, secluded, and beautifully kept. You’re surrounded by peaceful nature and far from any busy roads, so you can truly relax and let your dog run, swim, and sniff to their heart’s content.
Another amazing touch was the dog wash station with a pump and hose so you can rinse your dog off before they get back in the car so convenient after a good swim and romp through the fields!
I originally booked an hour and a half, and the time absolutely flew by, it was that good! If you’re planning to drive out, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to explore this is definitely not a half hour adventure. Next time we go, I’ll probably book at least two hours because there’s just so much to see and do.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s an hour from our house, but I’d gladly drive two hours just to come back it’s that special. If you’re looking for a truly magical spot for your dog to have the best day ever, this is it!Rebecca J.

55Amazing time! Beautiful property and the pups loved the water! We spent the afternoon and could have stayed longer! The wash station was very convenient and easy to use before loading up two extremely wet muddy German Shepherds. Rick could not have been more hospitable and kind! We could have talked to him longer but the pups were ready for their day adventure! We will definitely be back! The only negative was I didn’t have my phone to take pictures-I’ll make take more next time to make up for it! Thank you Rick, it was great meeting you!Diana B.

FAQ About Adamstown 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?

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Adamstown area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 516 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 770 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
