55Today was our first visit and we had a fantastic time. We were greeted by the host which was appreciated as first time guests. The drive to the property was beautiful, and it was very easy to find. There’s a large parking area to the right as you near the house by the wood shed. The combination of private property and state land made the exploring opportunities feel endless. I made mental notes of many other areas we will adventure into next time. There was fresh water set out for my dogs which was great since we went through what I brought pretty quickly. There is a large area around the property that is mowed if you don’t want to walk in taller grasses. The wild areas do have plants with little burs (which is to be expected) if you don’t mind having to brush those out later, as I do not. There are narrow paths used by animals which is excellent for sniffing. We saw many signs of deer, coyotes, and owls. Wonderful! And the birds we heard and saw today were: Say’s Phoebe, Pygmy Nuthatch, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Mountain Chickadee, Cooper’s Hawk, Mourning Dove, California Quail, American Goldfinch, Chipping Sparrow, Raven, and Black-billed Magpie.
My very energetic Aussies are tired out and happy, so it was a perfectly successful trip and a wonderful addition to our morning walk routine.

55Great spot with lots of room to roam. National forest to explore….areas around the house to wander and throw a ball. Robyn was wonderful in communicating. Yes, it’s off the beaten path but well worth it!! Tennille B.

FAQ About Chelan 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.
