55Loved it! My pups had so much fun and met a cow! Played in the water too! Our host was amazing and showed us around while still being safe with social distancing and wearing a mask. Would highly recommend even with it being a bit of a drive. Definitely worth it! Cassandra B.

55When we first arrived John came Outside and gave us a full tour of the property to ensure we didn’t get lost. My dogs absolutely love this area, they can swim and run until they drop and they even got to say hi to some goats. Not only do my dogs love this area, but I do as well. Absolutely beautiful and you get the hiking experience without a bunch of other people around. Kelli P.

55Such an amazing experience for my pup and for us! So much land for them to roam freely, jumping around the creeks and pretty waterfalls and running everywhere!! My puppy got to meet the goats and the cows they had there. They even helped spray off my dogs legs & dried him off before we let him back in the car. Definitely recommend this place and will be back! Amanda B.

55This was our first SniffSpot experience and it was truly 5 star!
We were greeted warmly by the hosts and their goats! John led us through a gated pasture with goats, hens, bunnies, and 2 highland cattle which was a great experience for our dog (on leash) and us! Once in Spring Acres, it’s off leash and we had so much fun exploring! The trail system was very well maintained with clever trail signs made of wood. There is a very cute cabin under construction at the center of all the trails and John said we were welcome to sit on the deck and hang out. I wish I would have packed a lunch for us since I booked two hours. A few of the trails were muddy due to the recent rain, but the nearby streams were a great place for Bentley to wade in and wash off. My husband, daughter and I enjoyed hiking and exploring the trails as much as Bentley did! Great day! Jayne M.

55Spectacular! It can definitely get muddy here during the raining season but it's fairly easy to avoid and the dogs can also wash off in the creek. :-) A really nice park-like setting and we always feel very safe & welcome here. One of our favorite spots!Susan D.

55Spectacular! Really pretty spot with lots to do. The very top is unfenced but super easy to avoid once you get down the hill. Everywhere else is enclosed by fencing or very thick tall brush so we always feel completely safe and secure here. There are trails and a creek and some large open areas. We come here regularly and Cooper always has a blast!Susan D.

55Love this place! Woodsy and peaceful. We feel very at home here and completely safe. A mixture of groomed and primitive terrain with trails and a creek. Definitely wear boots in the winter, some spots can get muddy in the winter but if you stick to the main areas, it's easy to avoid. Always an awesome adventure!Susan D.

55Lovely place to spend a few hours that has it all - privacy, trails as well as a nice flat area to play ball and a small cabin with a porch on which you can have your lunch will listening to the stream and quiet of nature. Most of the trails are marked with signs and lined with logs to make them easier to follow. Would not recommend the trails for someone with bad knees. They aren't flat. And some areas are pretty muddy at this point. Our dog loves it though and it is a joy to see him be so happy and to be able to run off leash and explore like a dog should. He also loves the creek which is not very deep and has a little bit of a current. We all enjoyed the goats, chickens and cows! Beautiful property, very tranquil. I agree with everyone else - John and Stephanie are very welcoming. Anisa H.

55This was a fun spot! Lots to explore. On the way in, we did have to walk through the area that the goats, cows, and chickens are. The dogs didn't seem to mind the first time, but on our way back through they were definitely a bit more fixated. Some of the trails ended with no warning and others looped around. It was quiet and peaceful and one dog enjoyed his dip in the river.Jenna H.

55We just visited beautiful Spring Acres with our two older dogs and our new 13 week old puppy. This was my second visit after being introduced to the place by a friend recently. I was determined to return soon with our canine gang! The owner met us upon arrival and kindly oriented us to the area; we then headed off on our own excited to explore! The weather was sunny but cool with scattered snow still on the ground; the creek was running fairly high. Given the delightful layout of the natural wooded property with its trails and little bridges that traverse the hillside, our doggies were able to clamber and explore happily until they were good and tired (and a bit muddy!) The magical trails open up to various level meadows where the dogs could romp and chase each other freely (the snow patches provided a new experience for our pup!). Our hour flew past! We headed home with three tired happy dogs after a delightful time in nature! Thank you!Barbara T.

55Our favorite Sniffspot. It has nearly everything our dogs love- water, woods, open areas. And wonderful hosts and farm animals. The stream and sandy banks are great for swimming and play, the woods trails are lovingly cared for, and you can get some good exercise walking up the hill.Kate S.

55We come here a lot and always have such an amazing time. John & Stephanie are the absolute best hosts imaginable and the Sniffspot is a dog's dream. We are always discovering something new here. I find 2 hours gives us just enough time to explore all the trails, splash in the creek and play. My boy leaves very happy after every visit and is completely content the rest of the day. Really excellent spot! Susan D.

There was ample room to explore the wooded areas and creeks on their property. It was a great experience all across the board for my pup and family! We would love to return to Spring Acres.

55Amazing Sniffspot! At the very top there is no enclosure, otherwise the area is secured by either fencing or very thick tall brush. We feel completely safe here. A really nice variety of terrain and nature...wonderful trails, a creek and grassy areas. You can tell this farm is loved. Thanks John & Stephanie!! ♥Susan D.

FAQ about our Fircrest 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 Fircrest?
There are 13 dog hiking trails in the Fircrest area. The most popular dog hiking trail is The Woods of Spadoni Hill. 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.
