55We love Dale’s property. The trails are nice for the snow and my dogs get to run around freely and smell all the wild animal scents. They are so tired when they get home. Shantel B.

55Lovely as always. Once we get home and took a nap, my young boy who uses word buttons immediately started to ask to go for another sniff walk 😹 he would move into Dale’s if he could, I’m certain of it!Megan D.

55I can’t imagine a better place for our dogs! A spring fed pond that’s clean and warm to clean off and swim after they help themselves to the creek. Lots of good trails for them to run free. My dogs were so happy! A golden retrievers paradise. Shantel B.

55We’re from out of town, but we were staying in the area this weekend and are so glad we decided to check this spot out!! Our dogs enjoyed the freedom to run and the many deer smells. We’ve never been to a Sniffspot this big! 2 hours was a perfect chunk of time to explore most of the area. Kate P.

55My dogs and I had a great time on Dale’s property! He has a great pond that my dogs loved! There is a nice variety of cut and maintained trails and tall grass for the dogs to run through. It is a very quiet area. We didn’t see any animals (other than chickens) or people (besides Dale - but he double checked that it was okay to meet us!) We will definitely be back! Kelli G.

55Beautiful property! The mowed trails were perfect for my two boys who love to run as hard as they can. By the end, one boy was sopping wet, and the other had found some thing he found very aromatic to roll in so they were as happy as they could be 😹 Saw several birds of prey cruising about, and the tall grass in the fields made it feel like you never knew what was around each turn. My boys had a blastMegan D.

55We had a blast walking the property. The water is clean, the creek was running. It was really nice to just be able to let the dogs be dogs.
There are pheasant and chickens on the property but the owners made us aware of where to avoid. Alyse H.

55Beautiful property with plenty of trails to explore with your pups. Dale was a wonderful host and gave us a map of the property when we arrived. Our two Great Danes loved the pond, they spent 75% of their time splashing around. We did a day trip and drove from Chicago, well worth the drive. Scott M.

55It was a super great experience with plenty of trails and places to sniff. My dog Brutus had a great time for the hour and half we were there. The pond is great feature too. My dog isn’t really a swimmer but he did dip his paws in. I definitely cannot wait to rebook.Gabby T.

FAQ About Paw Paw 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.
