55Beautiful property with friendly and generous hosts! Took my two dogs and they loved exploring the property. The trees provided great shade and the trail around the property made it feel like we were in a state park. The hosts do have dogs that you can hear but not see, my dogs are leash reactive and did not react to their barking. Area is fully fenced, there was only one spot we came across that had a small gap. Highly recommend this spot!Ana E.

55Beautiful property and totally worth the drive from Austin. Elvis got the freedom to explore off leash and I got the peace of mind of knowing there was a fence. It was easy to find, and the trail was clearly marked. He is totally wiped out after his adventure. Allison P.

55Jasmine and Enrique are great hosts! My two dogs had a great time exploring the property. There’s a clearly marked trail that circles the property and we walked it about 5 times in an hour. My puggle is an escape artist with no recall so I kept a long leash on him, but my heeler mix loved running around free. Definitely worth the trip out and will visit again soon!Tesha B.

55Trail is marked. We went around only twice because our dogs had to SNIFF every SPOT. It's a wooded trail so lots of roots come up. Wear tennis shoes or hicking shoes. Axis E.

55It's a great place for people and dogs to walk. We brought 6 dogs, and they had a blast. We kept them on their leashes until they did their business & oops 🤭 made the mistake of taking our Dalmatian & puppy off too early because they found the gaps in the backside of the property and took off. They returned shortly after that & we only let them off-leash in the front area. The barbwire was still there, but, I read in another person's review that they will remove it as soon as possible. Our puppy was the first one to crash driving home afterward 🥰 Debbie L.

FAQ about our Bastrop 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.
