55A lovely, well-maintained trail through the woods with two splash ponds to cool off on a hot day. Totally private and fully fenced. So great to have the freedom for our boy to run off-leash without running into other people and dogs. Highly recommend it!Diane M.

55Our visit was perfect! My dog is a senior and we managed to do the hike in 45 min with a short stop in the ponds. The trails were clean and well marked. Cathy greeted us and explained the entry process - it was very easy! We won’t hesitate to visit this beautiful property again!Rebecca P.

55A lovely, safe trail for my dog to have a good run and enjoy lots of sniffing. It was a hot, humid day so my dog appreciated the two watering holes to cool herself off. Sally C.

55My only regret is that we didn't visit sooner. So safe, great fence and gate system. Wide and very well maintained path. This was our little ones first time off leash hiking. She had the best time. Great idea and incredibly appreciated. Staff was courteous and respectful. There's a hose for washing them off after all the pond splashing. This will be a regular spot for us nowKatherine A.

55This was our first visit. Cathy was very pleasant and greeted us when we arrived. My 20 month Australian Labradoodle had an amazing time doing what she loves most...running free! Im not big on dog parks so this was a perfect choice. The trail is clearly marked, takes approx 45 mins to walk it, a couple of splash ponds and tons of space for her to run! I would definitely take her back. Your dog will thank you. On another note, bring bug spray for sure and maybe a friend/partner to walk with if you are a bit skittish like me when you hear a noise lol. It's definitely a safe environment, I just have a wild imagination haha

55We have room to roam at home but we were looking for something with trails and water and this looked like it would fit the bill for our olden golden and our scared-of-everything young and new-to-us dog.
This would location was absolutely perfect for our needs. The trail is well maintained. The ponds were small and lived by our dogs and the trail markings were helpful.
We will be back, for sure. Melissa C.

55I really enjoyed my run with Luke and Clara. The best set up to train your dogs off leash. It is just over an hour’s drive from Barrie, but so great to have a fun outing for a few hours, and afterwards go to Tim Hortons, for a tea and maple dip donut. Carolyn M.

FAQ about our Midland 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.
