55This was a great spot for our dog! It was a nice place to walk around the pond. Our dog loved swimming in the pond. There were shady places on this hot day. There were a couple people around so if your dog has people issues, choose a different spot. It's a really big area so it was easy for us to find out own space to hang out. Pretty area with ducks!Melissa D.

55This place has a nice pond with lots of ducks. My dog went nuts and had so much fun swimming around, trying to chase the ducks. We saw 2 people while we were there but for the most part we had a lot of privacy. Cam H.

55Itβs a really great spot! They mentioned there may be Airbnb guests in the back so I stayed away from there but a woman came out of the front house so I did end up leashing my dog. Overall a great property though! Kristen S.

55we have had several great visits here.
For those who are concerned about the friendly, very senior dog on site, if your dog is very reactive I'm sure you could confirm with the hosts that she will be led out of the pond area for your visit. She hasn't approached us & my dog has never found her.
There is a fence at the back of the property, beyond which is public property & people occasionally walk by with their dogs. Again, if you don't want your dog to see any other dogs then maybe stay away from the rear of the pond.
This is a natural setting; if your dog is having any fun, s/he will get dirty. Michele S.

55This place was great! They had towels out near the hose off station and a bucket of toys which was super thoughtful. Next time Iβd bring biodegradable dog shampoo for a quick wash before leaving. We had a great time and I definitely recommend this location. Kallen S.

55Such a great spot! Our dogs love it here. The pond has ducks that our younger dog swims and chases. There is a fence at the end of the property with people and dogs walking, so just keep that in mind if you have reactive dogs. There were also some people that arrived towards the end of our time that seemed to be going fishing in the pond. Cris & Eik M.

Frequently asked questions about Jamul dog hiking trails
Why are private dog hiking trails better than public dog parks in Jamul?

Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.
How safe are Jamul dog hiking trails compared to public dog parks?
