55Despite the heat today this spot was amazing. Barb is super friendly and gave us the details about the property when we arrived. She had two locations set up for water, in the field and in the woods, that were much appreciated in this heat. There was so much room for the dogs to run and explore! We will definitely be back!

55This is our fav place for my dog and his best friend to play. I appreciate that every time I come out (which is roughly once a month or so), there are changes and upgrades. Makes it interesting and safe each time for us to play! Lisa P.

55Still my favorite sniff spot. She keeps the area really clean and leaves enough areas of long grass in the field that my dog can prance around it while I walk along the path.Haileigh G.

55Barb has a very special place! We enjoyed our visit with our 2 dogs and will return!! It was fun to walk the trails. We came in August and the trails were dry. Plenty of cold, clean water, large open space to run with the cut field too. We booked 1.5 hours and that felt just right to explore. Natalie D.

55My boys loved every second of the hour and a half! Me, not so much, because I lost my prescription sunglasses somewhere in one of the minor trails. Not the spot’s owner’s fault, of course, just a bummer for me. If someone finds a pair of Calvin Klein sunglasses…..
Anyway, well- appointed with balls and chuck-it’s and cold water!!!!!! Again, the boys loved it. They are fast asleep! Emily C.

55This spot is perfect to let my dog run free safely!
He loves to explore the meadow and the trails, and the multiple water stations are a great addition. The porta potty is a relief (!) for the humans driving from a distance away. And it's the worth the drive, folks! Julia P.

55We love this Sniffspot, it’s very clearly our favorite! However, the past 3 times we’ve gone there has been either construction nosies, a fun range, or some other sort of explosive sounding stuff going on nearby; Shiloh is terrified of anything that could sound remotely close to a firework so he spends most of the time panting and clinging to me instead of having fun.

55This place is wonderful. It's a picturesque setting, and with a mix of a huge open field and a forested, natural network of meticulously maintained trails, we have as much fun as our dog. Thank you so much for having us!Sarah L.

55It was such a pleasure to meet Barb and enjoy her lovely property! My three fur babies had the best time running, playing, and exploring. The property is incredibly well taken care of and truly is peaceful. I loved the fun trails and all of the comforts for everyone. Thank you Barb!! I’m looking forward to our return visit. Kellie P.

55This was our second visit and we didn't think it was possible to beat what a great experience we had the first time, but we enjoyed our time today even more. The weather was a little spotty, so we much appreciated the covered spot set up in both the field as well as the spots set up throughout the well marked and maintained forested trails, which also offered us some additional cover from the rain. I am pretty sure that this may be one of our dogs favorite places on earth and we love giving him the opportunity to run off leash while also safely practicing his skills for learning to stay with us.

55This is the best sniff spot I have been to. It is a joy, and I'm grateful that the owner is allowing us on her property.
This time there were blackberries! Where my dog and I normally walk they call him the blackberry dog. It's amazing how much he loves blackberries and how he is able to munch on them even with the thorns. Not so much running in circles this time but lots of happy, quiet munching. Tani B.

55Worth the drive from town! Barb has truly thought of everything; port-a-potty for the humans, toys for the pups, and ice cold water for everyone! We brought our puppy for some off-leash trail practice and Barb's trails were perfect. Well-maintained, clearly marked, and plenty of new experiences for our young pup (ex. small wooden bridges, logs to jump over, etc.) We highly recommend this Sniffspot and can't wait to return!Marlena H.

FAQ about our Acme 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.
