55Dogs and I had so much fun walking the well groomed trails. There are many side trails that all connect to each other so you can walk and walk and not realize that you've actually gone past that particular trail already.Vidara K.

55We found another favorite sniffspot today! Easy to access the spot. There are cute gnomes, signs and decorations in the trail. Also, an area where we can play, having a picnic and bathroom. We definitely come back again!!Akane M.

55As always, this is the perfect spot for an adventure. It's shady in hot weather, and sheltered in the rain. The trails are lovely and there is just so much to explore.Margi M.

55Such a beautiful property! The river is great, plus super fun for my dog Teddy. Got the chance to meet the host. We chatted a bit, super nice person. Can't beat the beauty here. Perfect! (This is a place for dogs with decent recall, since it is partially fenced. Even so, totally worth visiting on leash, if needed.)Jacki D.

55The most fun our dogs have had in awhile! As long as your dog isn’t an escape artist and has decent recall everything is easy and enjoyable. The dogs loved the trails and our husky thought some of the statues were people or something, it was cute :)Evelyn B.

55Amazing! We loved it. The trails are well kept and fun to explore. Don't miss the dog water and human beverage shack at the back end! As the description states, it is not fully fenced for a dog, but our foster had no issue. We will definitely be back again! Morgan X.

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.
