55My dog Amari had so much fun walking around and sniffing on this property. There was lots to look at and smell for my boy. There was fresh water, shade, and so many cool places to relax. We will be coming back, plus it is so close to us.

55Really cool spot that was nice to visit in the evening when the weather cooled down a bit.
The owner didn't notice the booking and was on the property with his dog off leash, the dog ran straight to mine and the owner approached us to find out why we were there. Honest mistake, but worth noting for people who are looking at sniffspots to keep their reactive dogs from these kind of interactions.
There is also poison oak on the property, not unexpected but always worth being aware of!Carli D.

55A good spot to let your dog run. I have a Vizsla and she likes to run and this spot has large open areas to do that. Lots of interesting spots to explore. I highly recommend it.Margaret H.

55Wow! My husband and I are super happy with the spot. We reserved an hour for our two dogs, the directions were spot on and we felt it was an accurate description of the location.
We looped the property enough to track 2 miles towards our daily steps. There was plenty of shade even with it being hot out today. So grateful to find a Sniffspot large enough for us to walk around with our dogs, so it was more of a family activity. I don’t want to just sit. Biggest win is it being 20 minutes from where we live.Christina L.

55Wonderful! My dog is a maniac and she had the absolute best time chasing the poor ducks through the creek. Still enough water for her to swim in spots. The property is huge and spread out in a way that made it feel as if we were on a short hike. Some grassy areas and lots of places to sit and relax or play fetch.Loretta P.

55What a gem! Quiet with room to roam. This was out first visit. Next time we'll plan a bit more: book for 2 hours, pack a lunch, and bring a friend! Plenty of shade and seating.
We did see poison oak on site, so be sure to bring supplies if you are allergic.April M.

55This was our first visit to this particular Sniffpot and it was great! The host was very responsive and provided us with an exact GPS address for where to park and enter. At this time the creek water is low, but my dog was still able to climb down to cool off. We’d love to come back after there’s been some recent rain. Although the front half of the property isn’t fenced, most of the back half seems to be. Also, the creek runs along the front of the property providing some separation from the public/street/cars. My dog can be a bit reactive at times but has decent recall. We were able to find a few spots out of view from that street where I felt comfortable letting him run off leash. We appreciate that the majority of the property is mowed and maintained. There were several areas with chairs and tables and garbage cans throughout the property. It was also easy to find some clean water the host left out, water bowl, and poop bags. We will definitely be back!
I did want to note that when we first arrived we did see one person walking through the property, but when they saw us they quickly apologized and left. But since there are many signs throughout the area stating it’s private property, I don’t think this is a typical occurrence. With any Sniffpot, it’s always good to take a quick look over the place before letting your dog off leash.

55Oh my goodness. I was pleasantly surprised. I could not imagine a spot in the middle of the city.. Itnis a mixture of various foliage. trees, a creek, nature sounds, especially the frogs. Thete are sitting spots at various points. My dog didnt even notice dogs walking by on the sidewalk near the front, while he was busy exploring. My dog lost his sniffing mind! So many places to explore. My dog is not a water dog at all, but the temptation was there and he got his feet wet. That was coolnto see. If you haveva reactive dog, you need to put the leash on before you cross the creek due to the liklihood a dog may be passing by on the sidewalk by the access point. Ir was worth the drive from Elk Grove. I will be back.

55We had a great time and the dogs are exhausted!! We live in Grass Valley, so we booked 90 minutes to make a day of it.
My male spent the whole time trying to swim - the creek is drying up a little so it was hard to access deep areas. But they splashed around and had a lot of fun. My female loves to just walk along and smell. We’ll come back earlier in the spring next year.Peggie H.

55This spot is basically a dog’s dream version of a peaceful park. Wide open grassy space with just enough patchy dirt for maximum sniff investigation (Zozo took her job very seriously). The tree line gives it that quiet, tucked-away feel—like you’ve got your own little secret nature escape.
🐕 Zozo’s highlights:
* Room to RUN run (see: full-speed, ears-back, tongue-out joy laps)
* So many smells… like, so many
* Soft grass for quick zoomie turns + dirt patches for bonus texture
* Calm, not crowded—perfect for dogs who just want to vibeSharon T.

55Lovely, well maintained space for pups! My dog loved the water and we saw many little duck families and other birds. A few people from the sidewalk came into the property to walk around and see the water despite the private property signs but other than that everything was amazing!Kaylynne F.

55Beautiful spot! There are residents walking by, but it didn’t affect the dog playing. The fence near the church might need some repair though, there’s a small hole a dog could slip through (Oyie actually did, but I called her right back 😂).Lulu C.

What's the best time to visit dog hiking trails in Citrus Heights?

Book when it fits YOUR schedule—midday when it's quiet, dawn for cool weather, late evening for convenience. Many Citrus Heights dog hiking trails have lighting for after-dark visits. This flexibility is perfect for shift workers or dogs with special needs.
Do Citrus Heights dog hiking trails allow multiple dogs?
Yes! Most Citrus Heights dog hiking trails welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings), but generally you can bring your whole pack.

Check individual Citrus Heights dog hiking trail listings for event policies.
How do Citrus Heights dog hiking trails accommodate dogs with special needs?
Citrus Heights dog hiking trails are excellent for special needs dogs because you can filter for specific requirements: flat terrain for mobility issues, secure fencing for blind/deaf dogs, quiet locations for anxious dogs, small spaces for seniors, or maximum privacy for reactive dogs.
