55Absolutely loved this sniff spot. Was wide open, private, and the signs were great. Def a spot you’ll want to book early in the morning or later in the afternoon because with all the sun it does get hot quick in the summer! But as long as you come prepared it’s wonderful. Cole G.

55Our 5 dogs needed a place to run and play off-leash and this was perfect for them! There’s a great field that they could run in and there’s a pond that is accessible if you choose. They were wet, dirty and tired for the ride home, which was exactly what we hoped for. Deborah G.

55This place was awesome! Clearly marked, good communication, great spot for one or multiple dogs. There’s rolling pasture with tall grass and a lake that’s not too large so your pet will always stay in view. I will absolutely be back! Wear appropriate shoes and bring bug spray!Gina C.

55Took my new 4 mo old Rottie puppy here today. She *loved loved loved* the geese on the pond (so did I). The spot is clean and spacious, walking tracts are mown ( for me to walk! ) and wild grown & grassy (for her to run and jump!). Total win! You won't be disappointed. Evelyn A.

55Such a great place for my chihuahuas to run around freely and enjoy the smell of grass under the sun. Time went by so quickly. Really enjoyed it and we will be back. Momoe A.

55This was my first sniffspot and it was GREAT!!! Bryan met us at the gate and was so welcoming and nice! The property is a dream to walk with dogs. So peaceful and lots of smells for the pups! The creek was amazing. We found two easy slopes to go down in the water that was pretty shallow and we all walked around in. The creek is just outside the fenced area but we felt very comfortable taking the dogs there. Man they had a great time. It filled my heart with happiness to do that with them. We will be back. Thank you Bryan! Oh but darnit I forgot to get the carrots out for your beautiful horse!! Next time :) Addie M.

55My pup had a great time! Many zoomies coming in and out of the water. Great place for a picnic as well, definitely feels like a secluded little escape. Kelley C.

55 We had so much fun. My puppy, who is still in training and dislikes being on a leash, was able to run around freely. It was so nice to see her enjoy herself. Our other dog also had a great time exploring the area. I highly recommend this spot. The hosts were very kind and happened to be outside when we left.

55We had an absolutely wonderful time at Marc’s gorgeous property today! I’m sure Dewey thought he was in doggie heaven. He especially loved the pond. This was our very first SniffSpot, and I can’t imagine any place nicer! We will definitely be back! Thanks so much!

FAQ About Lancaster 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.

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.
