55Perfect woodsy getaway for the pup. Very well organized with maps and arrows, trails are marked and there’s lots of different paths to take. Frodo had a blast zipping around me on the trails and then we relaxed in the picnic area. Water is placed along the trails for the pups. We’ll be back!Cara S.

55Had such an amazing time on Easter with my dog. She enjoyed running in the woods and smelling all the new smells. I will say I plan on going back once the weather is warm and all the trees are full of leaves to allow her more freedom outside! I did bring her own toy to use as a means to lure her back when we had to leave and to allow her to use it in an open space!Callie O.

55I loved the trails and all the room to explore. One of my dogs decided to get herself lost and the hosts were very helpful, they came and helped us look. She ended up going back to the car so, happy ending! But very appreciative of the hosts assistance! Still had a great time! Thanks Jessica H.

55So much fun! They had used their tractor to keep paths accessible even with all the snow and ice we have had lately. My sofa had so much fun they have been sleeping since we got home. Alexa S.

55This is the first time we visited Maple Ridge and it’s already our favorite Sniff Spot. In the middle of winter, the snow has pushed all the foliage down and my dogs can run in the forest and they’re easy to see. We saw deer tracks and bunny tracks and the dogs loved sniffing the trails and tracking. What a little slice of dog heaven! It was nice to have the water set out for them at the start and end of the trail. All the running made them quite thirsty. We will be back and are so happy to have found the place. Shantel B.

55This is the coolest spot, and Reva is such a wonderful host! She gave us a map to use and the trails are well marked with signs which made it easy to navigate. The trails are very well maintained. There’s so much to explore, and we definitely didn’t see everything this time around, but we had such a blast! I was visiting some family, and we will definitely be adding this spot to our list of things to do when we are in the area! 😊Rachel V.

FAQ About Otsego 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.
