55Such a beautiful spot! Nice big open fields. Although not full fenced in its large enough to not really notice. Although I wouldn't quickly recommend it for dogs that are "runners" if you have good recall it shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait to see this spot through the different seasons. I'd recommend somewhere to leave poop bags though! We'll be back! Hayley B.

55Great spot! Huge open spaces for my pup to run and play. We stuck to the edges of the various fields and forged our own path at times. Loved it. We will definitely be back. Stephanie J.

55Great spot! So much space! The lack of fencing should not be an issue for most dogs. Perfect spot if your dog loves to chase a ball. Will be back!Katie A.

55We had an awesome visit at this park ! It is very big and we got to have lots of off leash time. If your dog is not reliable, a long leash will be awesome as this spot provides lots of space and smells. This spot is full of burrs, I am unsure about visits during summer and fall as they are pretty intense in some areas.Maëva L.

55At first I was not sure about the spot being there is no secure fencing, however for me there were enough natural barriers and older fencing to feel comfortable. This spot is full of natural enrichment for dogs- no frills but my dog loved running through the fields and puddles. There is a little flattened pathway al the way to the hydro lines. I didn’t go beyond that because I couldnt see a trail through the bush. Parking is easy to find and everything is as is described. Thanks for hosting! Mary H.

FAQ about our Ottawa dog hiking trails

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.
