55My dog had a great time on the trails and in the river. The wildflowers were also absolutely beautiful. They also had some nice signage directing you where to go when you got there! Sara L.

55What beautiful land!! My dog enjoyed jumping in and out of the water on the path. It truly is dog heaven. There are toys up by where you park and a nice path is moved to go on the riverwalk. I enjoyed the flowers and hearing the splash of my dog jumping in and out wherever he could. Thank you for letting us explore there.Janina S.

55Our dogs loved the sniffing, trail, and especially the river!! Since it is wooded, it's no surprise that there are ticks and mosquitoes, so just be aware and come prepared. Nice slice of heaven for the pooches!Tracy B.

55We had a great time at the river. Our pup loved jumping in and out of the water. Nice groomed trail. Bugs were not bad at all and we did not even wear any bug spray. We will be back.Shannon K.

55A very nice dog-free property where our reactive boy could relax! The paths were cut back nice and clean and there were wide swaths of green space. It was a little buggy along the trail by the water, but his coat is pretty thick so I think he was okay (the humans wore bug spray). Thank you!!!Sarah Z.

55I didn't want to ruin the rating by giving less than 5 stars, but, I did have 1 complaint...multiple piles of poop. Otherwise it is a great spot. There were a lot of planes going over because there is an airport near. My dog has come a really long way with her reactivity. She could not have handled that a few months ago. It was good to work with different distractions like that.Rachel B.

55Love this place! We come here often. The only thing that would make it better is if they weed whipped the fence line so that the dogs dont try to eat it all the time!Holly M.

FAQ About Howell 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 Howell 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 392 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 710 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.
Sniffspot has 392 fully fenced dog parks in or near Howell. Browse all fully enclosed options.
