55Absolutely magical! The dogs enjoyed the forest walk as much as we did. The paths are perfect for walking - and so peaceful. A real treat - we are grateful the owner is sharing with dogs and humans. Thank you!!!! Mary Elizabeth N.

55This was our first experience with sniff spot and it was fantastic! We got a workout with the dogs. The property is beautiful and quite hilly. A bit muddy in parts. Easy to find. We look to coming back!Tracie S.

55The property is amazing. I made the mistake of taking the Creek Trail first. Within the first 10 minutes of our hour fell on a really muddy portion of the trail. Sigh. It was kinda a slog after that. I was determined to go on. However, I must say beautiful, all in all, well maintained property and fantastic for the pups. I will definitely be back. Fresh eggs and Zinnia seeds<3 and the meadow trail for me<3Mary G.

55Great spot! Good spot for me and my pup to explore and practice recall and being off leash but still safe. Cute little trails, everything is marked. We enjoyed our time! Thank you for sharing this spot with pup owners! Laura G.

55It was perfect! The trails were clean and taken care of and the entrance was clear and thoughtful. We will definitely be bringing our dogs back :) It was a bit of a drive for us so we showed up a little late but it was still so worth it. The dogs loved going through the trails and getting to explore. They slept the whole car ride home :)Katelynn S.

55Gorgeous place. So peaceful and quiet. I swear the air was somehow fresher. The view loop wasn’t as well maintained as the other two, but easy enough to navigate. Trails were well marked with pink ribbons and the benches were an added bonus to stop and simply take in the scenery Robin F.

55This was a really great spot for me and my dog. We are working on search sports so there were plenty of places to hide and find me. Between doing that and the nice little hike, it was just right for an hour. Leslie M.

55Sapphire is a wonderland of hiking trails and gorgeous scenery. I almost don’t want to write a review because once everyone goes it’ll be booked out forever. If you do decompression walks with your dogs, this is exactly what you’ve been looking for. My pup and I both had a fantastic time.
Exceptionally easy parking, complete with an adorable farm stand. The entire property is well-maintained, with well-marked trails. It wouldn’t surprise me if the folks running this had trail maintenance experience. Great covered seating area that stayed dry despite the rain. It was misty when we went, and being able to take a dry seat and towel myself and my pup off before heading out was wonderful.
Bring your hiking boots, and yaktrax if it’s wet & muddy. This isn’t a tennis shoe trip. You’ll also want to carry water/snack for yourself and your pup because going back to the car is all uphill all the way, and you’re going to want to stay below and explore.
Go. Your pup will thank you. Abigail B.

55First time at this spot and it was very lovely! We were able to explore all of the trails and still had time to relax at the meadow. Parts are steep, both up and down, but it felt good to get the blood pumping. Dogs loved running and I loved not worrying at every corner. Will definitely be back!Jennifer P.

55My goodness! We are so grateful to the owners and caretakers of this space for sharing it with all of us. It was such a blessing to get to watch my leash reactive pups be free and get to be themselves on the trails. Mom got a workout too! And we got to hear so many beautiful birds— swainsons thrush, lazuli bunting, spotted towhee, song sparrows, and stellar jays. What a wonderful time spent with my lovely creatures in a beautiful piece of the forest. We will be back! 🐾🌳🏔️Natasha H.

55I am so grateful to have learned that businesses like this exist. My dogs well socialized and well-trained, including trained to be off leash, But there are so few places I can take them where they can be off leash and not be fenced in.They won’t play in dog parks, they stand around and guard me even when we’re surrounded by dogs and people they are very familiar with. We visited Sapphire Point for the first time this morning and will most definitely come back again and again. This was perfect. They loved running on the trails, exploring the forested areas, and playing with two of their friends in the Meadow. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property. Kimberly B.

FAQ about our Amity 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?

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.
