55We absolutely loved our time at this spot! Host was wonderful and answered all our questions! We drove 2 hours (love giving our boy a good adventure!) and it was 100% worth it! We did need to cross a bit of a stream to get to the trails and it was muddy (we were warned about the mud). Our dog LOVES mud, so he was in heaven and we had good boots! The trails were well taken care of and there was a picnic table in a clearing that we had lunch at! One of the trails does border a horse pasture, so be aware if you have a reactive pup! Ours did great with them and was so intrigued! Overall an awesome time!! Will definitely be back for another adventure!Rebecca G.

55Jeanette provided easy to follow instructions for getting to the site and for finding the map. This sniffspot was great! I would suggest an hour to an hour and a half at this site. Trails were easy to follow and there is very little chance you will get lost or wander onto the neighboring property. Mako enjoyed his time here, and I got a workout in as well. I would suggest bringing some rain boots or muck boots for crossing the little creek at the entrance. I would book this site again!Ashley C.

55Our dogs had the best time! We will definitely be returning. We went in a week that had a lot of rain & there was a fair amount of mud, but that’s to be expectedLaurie M.

55This was our first Sniff spot and we loved it! It was a great place for Yrsa to burn some energy and practice her off leash trail manners. In addition to the trails, there is a great clearing to play fetch and run around. It was a bit muddy, but we were warned and this was expected (next time I would wear my hiking boots instead though).Sarah K.

55Goose is a 1.5 year old GSP who does great on trails! We unfortunately weren’t thinking how the snow would “hide” the trail, so she had a great time just running around everywhere. She had a blast no doubt but it was more stressful for us lol. Not the properties fault, just us not thinking about the snow!! Overall, it was so much land and the trails looping together were awesome. The snow made it tricky sometimes to figure out where we were but it was an adventure for sure!!! We will definitely be back in the spring!!Jackie L.

55We came the day after some rain and boy was it muddy! To be fair, the host had warned of the mud and I had my water proof boots on, but I was sliding around quite a bit and even fell once! Because of this we cut our visit short by 30 mins. Otherwise the dogs had a blast and the trails were well defined. The creek was our favorite part and the dogs enjoyed wading around. We’ll be back when the ground is less saturated for sure! Dominique D.

55This Sniffspot is THE best. I have a reactive pup and he spent the whole time just being a happy dog. It was so nice to not have to stress. It is quite muddy though so muck boots or hiking boots are definitely necessary :)Amanda C.

55Beautiful spot! Secluded, quiet, well marked trails. It DEFINITELY gets super muddy after rain. We were filthy lol but it was fun and my dog had a blast. Luna is reactive and can't be around dogs at all so this was the first time we ever let her off leash in the woods in the 2 Yeats we've had her since we knew it was safe to do so. Love sniffspot! Will definitely return to this location. Ashley H.

55Great spot!! Tons of space for my young maniac to explore and some good shady spots for my old man to relax after some action.
Still muddy in spots, but I was well aware before going and wore my hiking boots. Diana O.

55My dog just had the best morning of his life here today! He got to run up and down the trails and jump in and out of the brush. He had so much fun and it made me so happy to watch him. This is our new favorite Sniffspot.Tara C.

55We recently moved to the area and there aren't any safe parks near our house to bring my dog. She's a border Collie mix, and a rescue, so she needs a lot of exercise. I decided to turn to sniffspot to find a place where we could be safe, and have a secluded space for my girl to roam around; this Sniffspot did not disappoint! There was PLENTY of space to roam and explore, and the trails were pretty well marked. Only thing to note is wear waterproof boots/shoes as the grounds have some muddy spots! Gabby O.

55such a great spot!! we rented it for two hours and had plenty of space to roam even when we tried to avoid the outer trails. the instructions upon booking made it super clear that we were in the right place and how to get to the trails. there’s a little stream that we crossed on foot that my dog loved romping in. it feels like your own private hike and we had a great time, would absolutely book again!
one thing to note: no fault of the property owners at all, but neighboring properties are clearly visible from perimeter trails. the houses are a ways back but we heard and saw neighbors including children playing and people working in their backyards. the (in use) horse pasture fence is only about ~15 feet off the trail. again, not an issue - just a warning to those with reactive dogs who might want to avoid triggers.

FAQ about our Pottstown 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.
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.
