55Maddy had an absolute blast — I wasn’t sure if she would like the creek because she can be very iffy about water and the kiddie pool at home but it was so exciting to see her go in and even swim!!Rebecca F.

55We had a blast! We had booked several hours but my dogs were having so much fun, they tuckered out fast. They loved being greeted by the turkeys (behind a fence). The creek was a big hit! They both swam, splashed, and ran around the wooded area. The trail was well maintained, the host was very good at communication, and the instructions on how to find her farm were very good. We will definitely be back! Phylicia B.

55Always love visiting here! My dog now recognizes the road and starts whining as soon as we turn because he is so excited to get out and explore and run. We had a friend join us this time and they had a blast zooming around on the trail. And as with most trails, it gets very slick after it’s been raining so we got very muddy this time, but it was absolutely worth it! Lily C.

55Bailey and Buster had such a fun day at Crick Bottom Farm! The property is absolutely gorgeous and huge- lots of land to explore! We made our way down to the creek which is very easy to find and Mariah made sure to send us instructions also! The creek was big and clean, our dogs had such a fun time splashing around and swimming in there. They were both so happy to be there, lots of zoomies happening. It’s also very tranquil for humans too! Mariah really went above and beyond to make sure we knew how to find where we needed to be! It was such a great time, I’ll definitely be back!Emily E.

55This spot is lovely! There’s a variety of things to do. We went straight for the creek and my dog was into it….until we lost his toy in the water 15 minutes in lol. He then watched my bf and I frolick in the water, skip stones, and enjoy the weather. He really liked the trail as that’s the terrain he’s used to. We tried to introduce him to the turkeys, which he was terrified of. He’d bark and they’d mimic him and it turned into a barking match. I’d definitely recommend this spot to adventurous dogs and their owners. My dog is just a sissy. Diana L.

55Awesome, quiet place to explore! There is a nice trail that makes a loop around the property. It was pretty easy to tell one half of it is used a lot more than the rest, but my dog lived sniffing around in the tall grasses. He was a little nervous of the turkeys 😆Lily C.

55I’ve been here 4 times now and it feels so safe for my reactive dog! They are very good about making sure people and other dogs are not out! I even got to teach my dog to swim for the first time because parts of the water got deep enough for him not to be able to touch! Very excited for him to have a new way to exercise that is easy on his joints as he reaches his senior years!haley & mason w.

55You’ve gotta visit! It’s an amazing property. The chickens and turkeys were very fun to see and go up to. The trails and creek were beautiful. My dog LOVED it! Plus there’s an outhouse for us humans so you can do longer visits. Definitely visit - you won’t regret it! Kylie K.

55My nervous boy is already feeling more confident here! So much so that he explored a bit too much and got himself stuck so I had to go untangle him! This is one of the few places he can really be a dog due to his fear of people and other dogs, so I really appreciate how quiet and secluded the creek is! Code says thanks so much for letting him splash in your creek!haley & mason w.

FAQ About Thorntown 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. 16% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Thorntown 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 225 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 366 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.
