55This was the ultimate adventure for my city pups! Many enormous fields to run and play in, so much space!! Of note, there are a couple pastures with sheep, but they are very easy to keep out of sight if you are concerned.
The app was experiencing an outage shortly before my booking began, but the host was super helpful and communicative.
Absolutely worth the drive from Chicago, and we will be back, for sure! Larkin F.

55It was so fun to explore Nyssa’s property! It was HUGE and private. My dogs enjoyed exploring. It was a bit muddy after the rainfall, but not too bad. I will definitely be back when it gets warmer outside. Chelsea I.

FAQ About Cedar 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.
