55Once again, Bucky and I had an amazing time as we continued to explore more of Jessica’s doggie-friendly property. Bucky’s excitement is palpable as we near the front gate. Five Stars! Pamela P.

55This was our first visit to this location, and it was wonderful. Jessica met us and pointed everything out. My dog loved running, sniffing, and digging in the large field. We then cooled off at the river. She was a very happy and tired pup. We will definitely be back. Annie H.

55We took our two dogs here for the first time and it was amazing! We let them run around in the field first, and then took them across the street to explore the river (which they LOVED). It was a rainy day but we still had a blast Maya H.

55Our dogs have never been happier than frolicking through the fields and river here! Jessica was wonderful, came down to meet us when we arrived to show us the ropes, and was super communicative. On a clear day we had mountain views & it made for a truly special visit. You do have to cross a road to get to the river side of the property, but the traffic was so infrequent it felt very safe. Would 100% recommend and will be back again Tori M.

55What an AMAZING space! We explored the entire property, my two labs in absolute heaven with the acreage to run and the river to swim. Jessica was so kind and communicative and it couldn’t have been a better experience. We will be back!! 🐾Renee R.

55This was my first SniffSpot experience, and it was a great one! The host met us at the entrance to explain the site boundaries. Later, we were having such a great walk that we lost track of time, and they were very understanding about us staying past our reservation. Some areas were rather muddy (understandably, given that we were there after heavy rains). All three of us had soaked feet by the end because we weren't wearing appropriate footwear. If you come in the rainy season, don't make the same mistake we did!Leah F.

55Bruno had a blast here! Jessica came out to meet us since it was our first time, and explained the property’s boundaries. If your dog has no recall or is reactive to livestock, you will need a long lead. We also crossed the road to get to the river. The little hill down is slick right now after heavy rainfall. I slipped and ate it (and laughed so hard at myself) so be careful! I also recommend wearing wellies or waterproof boots. We’ll definitely be coming back!Chantalle v.

55A big open field with a walking trail mowed around the perimeter and various locations. My dog loved "hunting" on the terrain. I never made it over to the wooded area. Saving it for next time. Highly recommend.

55This was our first sniffspot ever and just a fantastic experience. Easy to find and park, it is everything an energetic anti social dog could hope for. Penny got to run, chase her ball, wade around in the river, and sniff all the things. I got to relax and enjoy it instead of worrying about encountering other people or dogs. We will be back very soon!Julianne S.

55I drove 2.5 hours to come to this Sniffspot. It did not disappoint. What a huge and massive place this is. A private doggy park with plenty to sniff and explore including saying hi to the friendly cows.
Jessica and her husband were very welcoming. They let their dog played with ours for a bit. Which was great opportunity to socialize all dogs. I will be coming again and will stay longer as we were unable to get to the river side area. Kate T.

55Beautiful area, huge open field for the pup to romp in and a 3/4 mile stretch of river access. Jessica was super friendly and informative. Our dog wasn’t able to swim due to the algae issue but we plan to be back soon to try that out also.Debi A.

FAQ about our Amboy dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?
In order to hike the trails, we require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
