55Absolutely the best place to take your beans! Greeting went well, the dogs all swam, had more than enough life vests for them. Sanitary stations are located in spots around the property. Shaded very well. Plenty of space to let the dogs run wild. Very accommodating. Came here with my family and our 4 dogs, we all loved it! Our bean boys had a blast and they are definitely tuckered out haha.! Maria C.

McHenry Sniffspot - Private 3 Acre Retreat w/Salt Water Pool & Agility Equipment | Sniffspot
55Three words! Love. Love. Love.
We drove 2 hours to this McHenry location and it was completely worth it and more. The host, Ryan, took care of every single little detail to make it welcoming and was so accommodating. The play area sprawls with acres of open space for zooming and has professional agility equipments to test your pup's skills. The pool was GLORIOUS and they have life jackets in every size for the safety of your pup. It was completely safe for me to introduce my dog to pool swimming and for me to enjoy a bonding time with my pup. They've literally thought about everything -- bottle water for the humans, water for the dog, first aid kit, bug sprays, toys, towels, etc. you name it. All you need to do is show up, clean up after your pup, and have fun bonding with your fur babies. This place is truly magical! C. L.

55Beautiful. Huge field with trails cut thru it. Heavy tree line surrounding the opening. So much space we haven’t explored the creek yet but will next time! No fence, it’s 50 acres and couldn’t see or hear road or other areas of danger. Goats and chickens when you drive in but no where near the free roam area.Karen E.

55Today was my dogs first pool swim! The host, Ryan, took time to help us and even got into the water to guide her to the steps and fitted her with a life jacket so she had confidence in this new activity. She tends to be skiddish and he was patient and attentive. Everything is beautifully maintained and welcoming. Susan T.

FAQ About McCullom 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.
