55The place is amazing. Fields to run in, trails through the woods, and the best part was the creek. My dogs had such a great time. We plan to return many times.
The host gives detailed directions, and even has boots available for use if you want to go in the creek. Bridgette J.

55It is always fun to see how the seasons change at this property. It is really winter now. Hoping for snow. And so are the dogs! The stream may be harder to cross now but we intend to try on a less chilly day.Eva Marie D.

55The creek is very low now, which makes crossing more doable. Try it! We have endless fun on our treks across the creek, up the hills, and back over again. BIG bonus: Many of the marked trails are raked/cleared of leaves, making the walk more accessible. Our pup knows this place well now, and comes back from his sniffs tired and happy.
Very grateful for this spot!Eva Marie D.

55We brought a guest dog with us today. He is 12 and has health issues. He came alive in this spot! Romping in the stream, chasing our young dog down the trail, and having a great time. We brought him home to his family tired, happy, and very muddy!Eva Marie D.

55This Sniffspot has everything I’m looking for! Mowed paths through meadows, a creek, and multiple well-marked trails in the woods on the other side of the creek. ❤️Cheryl B.

FAQ About Ghent 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.
