55Spacious with shade and sun. Easy instructions. Excellent spot. Forest access, great to go for a relaxed hike after with the pups tuckered out.
55The land was level and grass was mowed so we were able to make several laps ourselves while the dogs were running and fetching at the same time. There are no obstructions and we could see the dogs at all times. It was a win win situation. It was easy to find and fully fenced. Very nice, will book again.
55Great spot! Always a pleasure
55Play sport was well marked, securely gated and clean!
55Beautiful setting. Clear directions to spot and how to access. I loved this no frills, gorgeous setting, well secured place for my pups to play and exercise. I’ll definitely book again.
55Great space for my dogs to run around. Thanks for having us! Will definitely be back.
45Nice spot with listed amenities. Missed finding code to gate so wasted a good part of our hour trying to get cell service. All that they’d said it would be
55Great spot 👍
55My first visit here. Fence very secure, field well maintained. I brought my old fella this time. He loves exploring and had a great time working his way around the perimeter of the large field a few times.
55Great place!

Description

***Attention first time guest: Please make sure you have the gate code before coming out, there's limited cell coverage to check your phone. Gate code can be found under, Spot details-Location and Access-Access instructions. This is a purpose built "dog run" exclusively for Sniffspot guests. Driving out the old Elk River Rd. provides nice valley views and an array of farm animals. This 2.5 acer space is truly unique and gorgeous, with lush 360 degree sweeping views of towering Redwoods and mowed Perennial Rye grass. In addition the "micro climate" is more ideal with less fog and more blue sky days than downtown Eureka or Arcata. Not only will your dog enjoy this large open space, we've added a bench and awning (coming soon) to keep you comfortable during your visit. This location is very ideal when visiting the Headwaters Forest Reserve just one minute up the road! Some guests like to come first to exercise their dogs before taking them on leash into Headwaters. Hope you and your pooch enjoy it. *** Please respect our neighbors by keeping the noise level down, this is not a public park setting where guests or children are allowed to shout loudly during their visit. We want to keep this Sniffspot open for all future guests to enjoy. Thank you for understanding.

Located close to HGWY 299 and HGWY 101 in Humboldt County, CA. We're surrounded by redwood trees in ⁷ina park-like setting. I intend to add dog-fun equipment; but at this eIarly stage, there are balls, a kiddie pool, and room to safely run.

This 1/2 acre open space is rough; not manicured, but better than it used to be! It is a work in progress. :o) Bringing and Removing POOP bags is ESSENTIAL. Once inside the heavy gate, you will find a long grassy driveway leading into a large undeveloped parcel. Please feel free to drive in and park at the north end of the driveway. The fence on the east side of the driveway may not be solid as wildlife pass through that way. If the neighbor's large wood gate open on the east side of the driveway, you may close it, but PLEASE open it on your way out. The large parcel is fully enclosed. There is also a 4' wide 'run' along the south and west sides. Please send a message with your reservation with a description number of your dog(s) -- and it would be helpful if you tell me how you are using the space. You do not need to pay extra for more than 1 dog. Just, please, be reasonable.
