55Truly my dogs new favorite place on earth! The trails are beautiful and clean and the pond is wonderful for water loving dogs (Lab heaven). Some good tips for owners: the trails behind the river can be muddy so wear shoes you don’t mind getting a little yucky and if you are testing recall (great place to do it!) leash once you get back to parking or your curious dog might try to say hi again to the adorable pigs, chickens and ducks! Love this Sniffspot so much! Celia P.

55Awesome spot. It was pretty wet after a heavy rain and we didn't bring good rain shoes but around the lake is beautiful. Our senior pittie loved it and slept the whole way home. Will be back again!Krista P.

55We loved bringing our German Shepherd here! Tyson gets anxious around people, so having this gorgeous place to explore with him while not having to worry about running into other people was perfect! He loved having the freedom to run around and play (and he loved that it was snowing!). It was easy to enter the sniffspot and it was a great afternoon for all of us :-) we can’t wait to come back!

55My dogs and I had the absolute best time! We are in town for Christmas and they needed to blow off some steam and this was the perfect spot for that. They had so much fun doing laps around the trails — I don’t think they stopped running for more than a minute the entire time we were there. We can’t wait to come back in a couple days! Lindsay H.

55We didn't have the best weather during our visit but it was our youngest dog's birthday so we HAD to celebrate with a visit to his favorite sniffspot!! He did not care about the rain at all and had the time of his life, as usual, at rolling wild acres. 😃 He was a very happy birthday boy!! Anaysantos M.

FAQ About Rootstown 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.
