55This property was a DREAM for a reactive dog like our girl. Josie is a 5 year old super excitable collie/pit mix who sometimes has a hard time making friends at a typical dog park, so that’s when we started looking for an alternative for her to explore and found this gem of a spot. Josie was not only able to be off leash, but we were also able to relax and let her explore without a worry! The owners were super responsive and gave us very detailed instructions on how to navigate the trails without a problem! After 2 hours exploring the stream hike, Josie was exhausted and ready to head home! We had the best time & will definitely be back 🥰

55We had a great day! It was our reactive pupper’s birthday and we wanted to let him explore and play somewhere we didnt have to worry about people making him anxious and it was perfect! He loved getting free reign of the trails and the stream was the highlight of his life!! Chasing lizards and frogs and splashing around for hours! The humans had a lovely day too! The creek is a perfect, cool, little spot to relax and enjoy being outside. Thank you for letting us enjoy your little oasis for a day.Amy K.

55We had some difficulty finding the place, but Alma was very kind and helpful in guiding us there. The trail down to the creek was challenging due to some steep, slippery and rough slopes, but there was lots of shade from the avocado trees lining the hillsides that helped keep us cool. There were also some forks in the trail as it is a working ranch, but they had some helpful signs along the way that helped direct us on the right path. Down by the creek, they have several seating options for you to lounge while your dogs play, and there was even a picknick table. This was well worth the trip, and the privacy was outstanding!Kyle J.

55This is a wonderful property and David & Alma couldn't have been any nicer. My land navigation skills aren't the best so I gave myself a little extra time to find it but the maps and directions Alma sent me were so helpful. I had the pleasure of meeting David when I arrived and he pointed me in the direction for the stream hike.
My boxer used to hike off-leash in Hawaii but we haven't found many hikes in CA (until now) where he could be off-leash, so he was one happy boy! I kept my other dog on a longline since she doesn't have a good recall. We spent the whole time at the little beach next to the stream because they were enjoying the water so much. It was a great spot to sit in the chairs and eat lunch while I tossed a ball to my dogs.
The hike back to the car was a steep one and I'm not sure who was more tired at the end of it all, me or my dogs. They say a tired dog is a happy dog. Tired or not, we all enjoyed our day very much! Thank you to David & Alma for making their ranch available to us through Sniffspot and for being such gracious hosts! Becky S.

55David and Alma gave really clear directions so getting there was a breeze. The trails were clean and the views were gorgeous. Our pups enjoyed the creek, picked up sticks and ran around freely. I think the different trails can use a little more signage, but it wasn’t anything that took away from the experience (Alma also provided a very clear play by play of how to get to the creek). Overall 10/10! Karina B.

55First time using Sniffspot and this was the best place to visit. Instructions for arrival and the hike were clear. This property has access to the creek which was awesome. Hiking down to the creek was easy, but for folks that may have some mobility issues keep in mind that the walk back to your car is steep and uphill. With the recent rain the creek is FLOWING, which might not be ideal for little dogs or older dog. They did offer to reschedule our visit since it was raining which was really nice but it was bath day for our pup so we didn’t mind. All in all we will be back, but most likely when the creek is not as full so that our pup can get wet without being swept away by the current. Kudos to the hosts for sharing such an awesome spot!

FAQ about our Fallbrook 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 can I find dog hiking trails in Fallbrook?
There are 9 dog hiking trails in the Fallbrook area. The most popular dog hiking trail is CHOICE AVOCADOS - DOGGY DAY ADVENTURES. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.
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.
