55Got to meet the lovely owner (by accident) on the property and just knew this place came with the best charm! Will note that the “road” past the gate is a little rough and had some tall weeds sticking from the ground that can cause some loud noises and scratches, we didn’t mind it though! My dog absolutely looooved the space and THE ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of this property. The more I explored and walked around, the more I was amused by these picture perfect sceneries. Even though this was a bit of a distance from home, I will definitely consider coming back.Han L.

55We had such an amazing time with our German Shepherd. Once we drove in we went to the pond/lake area and if you hike past that there’s a trail through the trees. It’s gorgeous! Our girl was so happy she got zoomies. Prabhjot V.

55Monica’s spot was awesome! My dog absolutely loved it and we even extended our stay a bit. There’s so much for a dog to explore from fields to woods to the pond. It was also awesome not having to worry about people or other dogs as this is a very secluded location. We’ll definitely be back!Catie B.

55We loved our visit! My dogs had a great time running around and exploring. The host, Monica, left great instructions on how to get there. There was plenty of space, the fences were enough to keep my dogs contained. It was quiet and secluded, which provided my reactive dog with an environment he felt safe in. We will definitely be back for a good reset.Sonsaray H.

55This place ROCKS! My dogs didn’t stop for a minute. The sights and little walking trail on the other side of the pond were awesome. It was nicely fenced to contain my dogs. Would recommend a towel even if your dogs aren’t water dogs to help clean mud off. My dogs are dirty, happy and tired, as they should be! We WILL be returning.Brianna M.

55We had an awesome time here! My dog got to explore on the woodsy side and got to run/play fetch on the grassy side. We stayed for 2 hrs 30 mins and my border collie mix was actually tired which never happens. Especially great for reactive dogs because this spot is secluded. Would highly recommend. Juliet G.

55Nice outdoor experience. Took 4 dogs. They played in the pond, chased a lizard around a big rock, and ran the trail. Lots of sniffing. The yelloe sign at entrance is small. Follow the written instructions on how to find the place after booking is complete.Christina B.

FAQ about our Smithville 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.
