55Gorgeous property with lots of trails to explore. Even though it is unfenced, it felt very private and I was not worried about accidentally wandering onto someone else’s property. Host gave us a heads up that the trails were still snowy but they were still very clearly defined. We had a blast and can’t wait to come back soon!Ellen H.

55Just what we needed! Can't wait to come back again!
We visited after a brief streak of rainy days, so it was a little muddy, but not bad. The trails were well maintained. You can choose a variety of turns or loops to make a longer hike or avoid mud puddles. They are also wide enough for me to comfortably fit with 3 dogs.
Even in late December, the grass and brush along the trails reduced visibility so the dogs didn't wander off the path far. There are burrs so beware with long haired dogs. Flea and tick prevention is a must. Also, I highly recommend a bug repellent for yourself.
Naturally, there was random wildlife scat, so it's helpful if your dog knows 'leave it'. We had plenty of opportunities to practice some of our other training as well.
We were there to hike/walk, so we didn't stop to play fetch with the Chuck-It this time, but there was plenty of space on the trails and open areas near the house to do so.
The host was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was an absolutely lovely day!Joey T.

55This is an amazing spot that we will use again and again! The trails are wonderful and well kept, and the parking is super easy. You can roam around on a variety of trails, and there is a large open stretch that was perfect for the Chuck-It. Other than nature, you won’t see any animals or humans. Perfect for a reactive dog. It’s also set back from a not-busy road and I had no worries of Heidi wandering out there. The host is great with communication, too. My German Shepherd was GASSED after an hour, she had the best time there. I accidentally left my leash on the ground when we left, and when I came back they had it for me! Thanks so much! Mandi G.

FAQ About Mount Gilead Dog Parks
