55Wonderful Sniffspot that your dogs will love! There are multiple trails that meander throughout the property with beautiful tree-cover.
Whenever we thought we’d gone down all the trails, we’d find another one. There’s also a nice open area and there are informative signs throughout. Definitely a treat for your pup.R W.

55This spot is especially nice because there's no one else around. You can explore the entire property and its trails. There are some very thoughtful gestures and activities. I would have loved access to even more trails, but it looks like they are under construction.Tye F.

55Wow. This was literally like having your own private forest for an hour. The host thought of every amenity you can imagine for dogs. We did the loop trail 3 times with our (big) dog and just enjoyed meandering down to the creek bed and more. Lovely spot and our dog is very happy. 😊 Rachelle L.

55What a fantastic spot! We've been to Black Pond Farm loads of times, but this was our first time at The Woodlands Tranquility Pathways. Wow wow wow! So fun! Lots of hills and mini canyons/ravines to run through, tons of old stumps and rotting logs to sniff around, jump over and climb, and a little stream for a cool drink. Like Black Pond, the hosts thought of every amenity and created the perfect sniff spot for humans and pups alike. 10 out of 10! 🙌The dogs had an absolute blast! Even the prissy jindos got dirty today 😄

55Love love love this Sniffspot and the owners are wonderful! This is truly a gorgeous area. As soon as Moose got out of the car, he was running like a mad hatter gleefully around the property. He plunged into the pond, plowed through tall grasses, and sniffed his big little heart out. This Sniffspot has a beautiful creek and a bridge that crosses the pond. Nice wide open spaces for puppies to run around and good walking trails for the humans.
For the reactive dog owner, keep in mind there are dogs, trucks, and other noises around the main road/entrance to the property. It was a great training opportunity but Moose was pretty distracted by it all. Keep your pup past the pond and reactive dogs should be just fine. They can hear other dogs and some noise but it's less distracting.Ryan C.

55We had such a great time today! So many different ways you can spend your visit- off leash playing fetch, swimming, or just walking around the property! It was beautiful, I felt like I was on a mini vacation from the city. Can’t wait to come back! As a side note- they had a little bucket by the front of the property with dog treats and tennis balls. So sweet!Kerry H.

55This place is amazing! Lots of open areas to run and play fetch. My dog loved wading in the creek as well. As an added bonus, the beautiful neighbor horses came over to say hi! The dogs could have cared less about the horses as they were busy romping around the back field. Can’t wait to come back!Erika B.

55Great place! It almost felt like we were in a magical forest. Great instructions for entering the property . It was so peaceful, we never saw any humans only the faint bark of a dog but our pups couldn’t care less, they were to busy having fun. Can’t wait to go to this one in the summer, there is a great creek!Denise R.

55Beautiful property! It has all the best dog amenities: water, wide-open spaces, trees, bushes, and mud! We have two tuckered girls tonight. Just one caution: watch your dogs near the neighbor's barbed wire fence. Our older girl went in the creek near the bridge and climbed out just on the other side of the barbed wire fence, and she got a little tangled in it coming back through. Next time we'll make sure she doesn't go down to the creek on that side. Margaret T.

55we had a great time at this sniff spot, especially once we found the wooded trails across the creek. the fields look lovely but my dog needs a bit of a barrier between where she is off leash and any roads as she will chase critters with abandon. also just as a note- the description says cows and horses on neighboring property- i was not prepared for the chickens in a coop on the residents property and felt really bad cause my dog went a little crazy on them and they were panicking inside the coop. i will enjoy this sniff spot again and keep my dog on leash til we are further into the property in the future! sorry chickens!

55Beautiful spot, we especially enjoyed seeing a pair of bald eagles that roamed the property. Note to reactive dog owners, as you head towards the back of the property there are horses. They seemed very used to people and dogs, but advise staying on leash until you are past them down the trail.Kate T.

55I loved this SniffSpot. It was my favorite so far of all I've been to. There is a wonderful, quite long path through some woods that I really enjoyed. My dog had a wonderful time exploring and racing around. I was a little confused when I first got there because it wasn't clear where to go. The host came out and pointed me in the right direction but what you do is just follow the driveway around the left side of the house and it's clear where to go from there. I also got confused coming back about how to get into the host's property (the most obvious path led to the neighbor's) so my dog and I had to walk along the neighbor's fence through some thorns. So my advice is to pay attention when you take the little path up into the woods.Connie M.

55So fun! Funnest one yet! Can’t wait to go back when the “creek” goes down. You walk across the bridge, and into the woods its like you transported to the rainforest. So beautiful. Just careful of low vis barbed wire fencing in some areas 😊Morgan H.

55This is a wonderful piece of property! I found it very serene, and I guess the big eagle that flew overhead added to that feeling. Parking was easy, had a large creek that would be great to cool off in the summer, as well as had had a couple of great places to play fetch and pup to get a good work out in. I followed another reviewer’s suggestion to follow along the left side of the house, and from there it was quite obvious where to go. I didn’t let my pup off lease until I was clear of the chicken coop, and knew the horses were a ways off. Lisa H.

55We had the best time! Love the open fields and the creek. The woods were fun as well but I should apologize to the neighbors I checked google maps at once point and was definitely on their side of the line but it's impossible to tell in the unfenced woods without signs. I should caution others through my littlest dog got stuck in brambles off the trail and I had to go in and untangle him he ended up with a cooler of scratches. So keep your eyes out when they are off the trails. I can't wait to go back though.Tina P.

55We had a wonderful time on our second visit here. The house was great at letting me know that it was really puddly and that the creek was a bit over the banks. We had a wonderful time and the dogs enjoyed splashing in the puddles and running through the woods. Can't wait to visit again. Oh if you have a "wooly" dog check them often for sticks, stickers or brambles in their coats. Tina P.

FAQ about our Mill Creek 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.
