I love this property, the creek is a must see, my dog only wants to stay there all the time. Directions are clear and easy to follow. If it was closer to me I will go every day.Eliana L.

55This was such a fun experience and I cannot wait to do it again. The property is gorgeous. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to the creek but I am so glad I did. My dog had the absolute time of her life and so did I. The owner was so nice and helpful too. She directed us and let me know she would be available if I got lost or needed help which I really appreciated. This was definitely worth the ride from OC. ☺️Celeste G.

55This spot was amazing! We brought our 3 dogs ( a 1 y/o Great Dane, 13 y/o chihuahua, and 9 y/o pit mastiff) each of them absolutely loved it! We upgraded to the stream hike (100% recommend). The trail was clean, the creek had lots of areas to sit, a swing, a hammock, and also a picnic table. We also brought our 1 year old, who also had so much fun playing in the water and swinging on the hammock! The hike has a couple of steep spots but really nothing that’s TOO challenging. 10/10 recommend visiting here! Valerie W.

55It was so great! I wasn’t great with the directions and couldn’t find it at first but they were super understanding a let me stay a little extra. There’s a really fun hiking trail with partial shade. My dog was having so much fun he didn’t want to leave. I wasn’t wearing the right shoes it was a little slippery going downhill so I will wear my hiking boots next time. We will be booking again for sure. Audrey R.

55This place is great!! We did the grove walk only and it was perfect for our needs. We really wanted to try a true off leash walk with our dog in a safe space. This was great. Once you drive through the gate you can close it behind you. Once that’s done, the entire space is fenced. We spent about an hour walking all over the hills through the trees. The trees kept it cool and nice.
We came from Fallbrook and the sign is hard to see from that direction. If you’ve hit w sandia creek terrace (and you’re coming from Fallbrook), you’ve gone too far.
We will definitely be coming back. This is a great spot!Michele S.

55We had a blast celebrating my dog's 3rd birthday at this Sniffspot! This time we invited some friends, another couple and their dog.
The dogs had so much fun playing in and around the stream. My dog hates water, but this is the first time I ever saw her voluntarily getting wet! She was walking through the stream from bank to bank, retrieving sticks, and just having the best time!
We had a much better experience this time. Alma answered the phone when we arrived, and helped us out when we got turned around trying to find the gate. She also told us we can put our used poop bags at the entrance when we leave so we didn't have to take them with us this time! Connie S.

55We got a little lost while driving there because even though it's relatively simple, I doubted myself 😂 but so nice helping us with directions and thorough with making sure we got there, that we were comfortable and safe. The trails are clean and nice. Easy to navigate with some hills to tire out our doggies. They were so excited and had insane zoomies because they were soooo happy. My dog never gets to be off leash because he's dog reactive so it was so healing to see him so free and happy. Will definitely be coming again! Sabrina S.

55Drop everything and go NOW! From start to finish, our experience at David and Alma’s beautiful farm was top notch. They are wonderful folks who communicate and help every step of the way. The hike and water (get the river walk!) was gorgeous and so fun. I recently adopted a shelter dog who is generally nervous about the busy environment and often worried about new dogs. I wanted him to experience the joy of running, leaping, and simply being a dog in nature. I asked if we might have a ranch hand dog join us and I’m so glad I did. Sancho came along with us and immediately befriended my Midas. They ran and leapt and wrestled in the water together like only best friends can do. Thank you David and Alma and Sancho for giving Midas what I am certain was the best day of his life. We will be back very soon!Lou H.

55My dog had a blast! She’s a little older so the hike kicked her butt (and mine). She had so much fun wading through the creek and sniffing through the bushes and I was relaxed knowing there weren’t other people/dogs around. 10/10 would highly recommend taking your dog(s)! Andrea Q.

55We had a blast today! So nice letting our big boys run around without worrying about anything. Our car broke down before we got there and they were extremely communicative and helpful in making sure we still had a great trip. Highly recommend the stream hike, but it is a little steep and took my parents (in their 60s) about 25 min to get there and another 25 back. It’s such a beautiful oasis. Thank you guys!Shannon G.

55We loved watching our pup have the best day of his life! He loved splashing along the stream and sniffing every inch of the trails; The stream walk is a MUST. There is a swing, hammock, and chairs so you can relax and enjoy nature. The host is communicative, very kind, and even provided clear instructions to the stream so you aren’t lost and can just enjoy your time. We drove 1 hour from Downtown San Diego so our pup can experience the beautiful nature and practice being off-leash, we can’t wait to go back. Thank you! Chalina H.

55Drove an hour from San Diego to bring our dog-reactive dog here to get some fun, off-leash time. She absolutely loved it and had a blast playing in the water. Highly suggest adding the stream hike onto your time here! Definitely take caution going up & down the hills, it can be a lot if you’re not used to it (especially in the heat). All in all it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!Emma L.

FAQ about our Lake Elsinore 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 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.

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.
