555 Stars – A Gorgeous, Soul-Filling Spot for You and Your Pup!
My mom and I brought our dogs out to this beautiful property and wow—it was everything we didn’t know we needed. The trails were peaceful and well-maintained, winding through gorgeous trees and a creek that added the perfect touch of serenity (and splash zones for the pups). The whole place felt like a little hidden gem.
Our dogs had an absolute blast exploring off-leash, and it was such a joy to watch them run, sniff, and play in such a safe, spacious setting. Just a heads-up—definitely bring bug spray if you’re going in warmer months. The host graciously had some there too! Nature is thriving out there!
What truly made the experience stand out was the host. She went above and beyond—there was a personalized welcome bag waiting with my name on it, dog treat, and a trail map. That thoughtful touch made it feel like we were visiting a friend’s land, not just renting space.
We’ll absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, dog-friendly adventure with heart. This spot is something special.Cristina T.

55Truly a slice of heaven. My dog can be reactive and this was the perfect spot for her to run around and explore, while we were both able to relax. I could’ve stayed all day! Wish I would’ve brought water shoes to play with her in the waterErika S.

55What a magical place! It was easy to access, there was a map and dog treat left at the gate when we arrived which confirmed we were in the right place. It was easy to navigate and so much fun to explore. My reactive dog had a blast! Dayna K.

55Wow, this is the best Sniffspot I have ever been to! After a unique and thoughtful greeting, we found the property to be the most magical and charming place! A spirit of adventure filled us as we explored the meadow, trails and creek. My dog was scared of the rope bridge at first but mastered it after she gained the confidence to cross! The water is her happy place and my husband and I were happy to relax in the big Adirondack chairs as she played. We can’t wait to go back. We will probably book a longer stay next time! Courtenay J.

55This is by far one of our favorite Sniffspots! The entry and parking details are clear, the map and dog treats on arrival are above and beyond and the land is well maintained and absolutely stunning. We had a blast walking and running the wooded trails and splashing through the creek. We will be back soon! Lauren S.

55This is the most beautiful spot I’ve ever found! The entire property is so nicely maintained, the landmarks well mapped out, and overall just gorgeous! We ran into the owner Corie and he was so kind, even gave our pups treats and poop bags with a map! Our dogs LOVED every inch of the place, enjoyed the water and exploring the entire area- we will be back often!! 🩵🩵🩵Kayla P.

55Such a unique and beautiful property! This SniffSpot had acres of fields to run, marked hiking trails, rope bridges, and private creek access.
My pup had a blast splashing in the creek and running the trails, will definitely be back!
The directions were very clear and I was provided a goodie bag and map of the property upon arrival left at top gate
The property is primarily unfenced but was not an issue during the visit. The SniffSpot was down a gated hill and the creek walls offer boundaries near neighboring propertiesJordan G.

55Our second visit was even more fun, despite the colder weather. We crossed the creek to the other side and got to explore and sniff everything. We even got some snow at the end of our time. Can’t recommend this place enough and we are already looking forward to the next opportunity to visit. Krista B.

55This was an amazing place to spend a sunny November morning. We could have stayed longer and napped in one of the hammocks, but Glory was having too much fun splashing in the creek. A gorgeous property that was private and meticulously maintained. If you get the chance to go, I definitely recommend it. Krista B.

55This property is so beautiful and private, my dog loved running around and being able to drink fresh water from the creek. Worth the hour drive from Franklin! There is a porta potty on site which is so great. Thank you so much for sharing your property! Meghan M.

55I took my dog here for his birthday while we were stopped in Nashville on a roadtrip, and I could not be happier with the decision! The space is so clean and absolutely beautiful. If we lived in the area I’d go as often as possible. Lauren S.

55What a cute and beautiful spot! We didn't even see everything there was to see, but we enjoyed getting into the creek some (the pup's first time!) and throwing a ball or frisbee in the field where we parked!Courtney Q.

55You could not imagine a more magical place for a dog to romp and explore. What a wonderful experience this was. My only regret is that I did not book for longer! The water in the creek was so clear. And it was easy to navigate the trails. I accidentally dropped my water bottle on the suspension bridge and navigated myself down to the creek and waded barefoot to retrieve it. The whole experience was just so much fun both for me and my dog.Lisa T.

FAQ About Springfield 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 9% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Springfield area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 207 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 376 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
