55Our pups had so much fun walking the trails, even our 2yr old enjoyed it. There was chairs, picnic tables, hand sanitizer and water along the way. My pup even found balls to play with. This location is so beautiful and clean, he provides maps and trash cans. We will be back for sure! Kristina M.

55This was a great spot! the instructions made it super easy to know what to do when you arrive and the map made it fun to explore. you can hear kids and dogs in the distance, but we never saw them. we briefly saw horses but unless your pup is determined it would be difficult to get to them.

55Such a great spot for our explorer pup! She loved the trails and the water stations to quench her thirst. Great comms and the map of the site was super helpful too. Looking forward to our return visit!Karen L.

55Amazing spot! Our two dogs had the best time sprinting on the trails. Can’t recommend this spot more. The many water bowls with containers of water next to it was such a nice touch. Will be coming back for sure. Brittany G.

55Such a great, quiet spot. Lots of trails to get lost on. Nice open area in the middle to play frisbee. My dog was all tuckered out after his visit. Jenn J.

55This park is so beautiful and I love watching the plants change with the seasons. Dog goes squirrel crazy it’s a great opportunity for premack training. I’m always very grateful the people who own this land are willing to share!Jo B.

55This is a fantastic place to take your doggies! It was secluded enough to give a sense of really being "out in the woods." The trails are well maintained, with several "secret" picnic tables and we saw 2 fire pits with logs next to them. Not sure if those are for guests that visit, but it definitely has a great campground feel to it. The maps at the entrance were very helpful. We only did half the trails today. I highly recommend wearing good walking shoes. Some trails are very narrow and hilly. Others are wide and flat. I found a stick I used as a walking stick and left it at the green chairs. There are watering stations and poop bags throughout the trails with several garbage cans, along with various seating options if you need to take a rest. It is a very clean and well maintained property and the trail names are hilarious. This was the first time we went and our dogs LOVED being off leash and running around. Thank you so much for having this available. We will be visiting again soon.Kathy R.

55Greatest place on earth ! Well maintained paradise for us and our four legged family. When I put on their bug repellent and orange scarves with the bells they know where they are going. I booked my birthday and our anniversary (yep got hitched on my birthday) to include a visit to this wonderful place. The visit I’m reviewing is mother’s day- can’t think of a better place to be with my fur kids! (My mom passed away) I also booked two visits when my dog loving friend visits from California in June - thank you for sharing your paradise Paul. I’m nurturing lots of little trees I hope to someday contribute to Paul’s paradise (with his permission of course) 🌲 🐶 Susan C.

55Just a fantastic place to spend some time with your family and dog. It was full of water stations and balls for our dog to play with, super private, and a nice big space to run around in. We had a wonderful time.Jenny M.

55We had a lovely time at this spot! It was our first visit, and we made a rookie mistake by following the curvature of the road to a different, locked gate instead of staying straight on 86th. Fortunately for us, the host kindly responded ASAP to help us find the actual entrance. The setup is great, with a clearing with chairs and water to serve as a base from which to explore the various trails. The trail with the bridge was closed for repairs (can’t fault a host for maintaining their spot!), so we have something to look forward to next visit. After an initial circuit to familiarize ourselves, we ended up keeping our pup on a long lead. He is sometimes a “choose your own adventure” type and there were definitely places here and there where he might have decided to follow his curiosity out of bounds. It didn’t matter—we had fun!Kristin O.

55Beautiful woodland trails with easy access and lots to explore. We loved exploring this spot with lots of trails to loop around and enjoy. Plenty of shady spots on hot days just bring extra water. Thanks to Ben for the amazing work he’s put into the trails and maintenance. It’s a little hidden piece of heaven on earth for pups and people. Evangelynn H.

55This sniff spot is EXCELLENT! So many great amenities like trash cans, poop bags, picnic tables, water jugs, and hand sanitizer. The pups had a blast and the trails were peaceful and beautiful. Paul is an excellent host and even helped us when we lost a pair of nice sunglasses. This will become a regular spot for us!Kristen K.

55This was our first time trying out Sniffspot and we enjoyed Paul’s spot! Our GSD had fun romping around the trails and exploring all the smells. We appreciated the fresh (and cool, despite how hot it was outside!!) water for our pup. We did not see areas where our dog could have successfully exited the sniffspot, in case anyone is worried about that. Do plan for this to be more of a spot to roam the trails than to throw a ball. As you would expect for the area, the growth alongside the trails includes blackberry bushes (read: thorns), so beware your pup’s paws if they veer off course. And if you go in the evening, bring some bug spray! ;)Victoria B.

55This spot is great! It was easy to find with the hosts directions, very clean, private, and fences were exactly where you would want them to be. It was a warm day, so the water and chairs were appreciated. We also found a ball that added to all the fun! It’s still there for the next sniffer to find! Can’t wait to come back! Rebekah B.

Filter by fencing, size, distractions, and amenities to match your needs.
When can I book dog hiking trails in Cowichan Valley D?
Cowichan Valley D dog hiking trails are available based on host scheduling—many operate dawn to dusk or even 24/7. Unlike public dog parks with rigid hours, you choose the exact time that works for you. Check individual Cowichan Valley D listings for specific availability.

What's the most popular dog hiking trail in Cowichan Valley D?
Peaceful mini-retreat with field & woods is highly rated among Cowichan Valley D dog hiking trails, known for excellent amenities and positive reviews. However, the "best" spot depends on your dog's needs—reactive dogs might prioritize privacy and quiet, puppies might need secure fencing, seniors might want flat terrain, while active dogs might want maximum running space. Browse Cowichan Valley D listings to find your ideal match.
Can I use Cowichan Valley D dog hiking trails for training sessions?
Yes! Cowichan Valley D dog hiking trails are perfect for training because they're private and distraction-free. Work on recall, practice trail recall in natural environments, leash manners on varied terrain, or hiking endurance building, help reactive dogs build confidence, socialize puppies, or work on obedience—all without public dog park unpredictability. Many Cowichan Valley D professional trainers use these spaces for client sessions with all types of dogs.
Do Cowichan Valley D dog hiking trails accommodate multiple dogs?
Most Cowichan Valley D dog hiking trails welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings for specifics). If you have several dogs—especially if some are reactive toward strange dogs or if you have mixed ages (puppies and seniors)—private dog hiking trails let them play together safely without outside interference or triggers.
