55Beautiful little hike in the woods! Great signage made for a relaxing, stress free hike with my pup. The stream running along the entire hike was an added bonus. Nothing better than watching her run free in the woods without a care :)Celia L.

55My dog and I really enjoyed this Sniffspot! To access the parking area you drive down their driveway past their home and barn, cross a small creek, and it is your first right. Drive down a few yards and there is signage on the left that says “trail head parking”. To start the hike is down a long grassed pathway, and once you get into the woods the hike is steep up a mountain. This was a great workout for myself, and my 5 month old German Shepard lab. The trail is well marked with blue paint, and there is a small creek that follows parallels the trail. After about 20 minutes of climbing we were greeted by the sound of running water, and to the right you will find a small waterfall! We traced up and River was more than excited to cool off. It was wonderful! The trail ends once the elevation flattens, and then you walk down. I was able to meet Lynn and her husband and they are very nice people. Lynn teaches dog classes right at her establishment and cares much about canine behavior. I highly recommend this hike!
Lynn also has a separate sniff spot (at the same location just on her home property) that is a big fenced in area with a pool and agility course for pups which River and I are going to next!Nicole G.

55Wonderful!! Two hours was just long enough for us to mosey to the end of the trail and back. We could have spent another hour exploring along the brook. Everything from parking on is very private and visually obscured from the rest of the property. The trail is maintained and a fairly strenuous workout for pups and humans alike. This is a must for all dogs in the area!Jill H.

55Beautiful spot for a hike with the pup! It’s a well marked trail that meanders up with lots of trees and a beautiful stream running by the trail!! Nice and private and a perfect place to let the dog run free and explore! Lynn is very responsive to any questions and was very welcoming! We will definitely be back!Aimee M.

55My dog enjoyed the hike through the woods tremendously! He was delighted with the chipmunks and other smells he got to track all while being free to adventure off leash. The trail was steep but well marked and so lovely with the fall colorsDawn S.

55Excellent hiking trails and it was the perfect spot for my reactive dogs who don’t normally get to enjoy public hiking trails where there are other dogs and people. It was so peaceful having the entire spot to ourselves! It was a strenuous hike for me and we didn’t make it all the way to the top, but enjoyed spending time by the brook. Lynn was super responsive to my questions too. We are looking forward to visiting again and also utilizing the private dog park and agility course next time! Thank you so much! Carmen G.

55This was a great out and back trail we will definitely come again! The hike is pretty much all uphill so be prepared to climb. When you first get to the trailhead it looks like their are multiple trials but you want to stick right along the water where the reflective red marker is and the blue path will become clear. 10/10 we had a GREAT time!

55We had the absolute BEST afternoon frolicking about care free with our little fur babe! The trail is clearly marked, and even in mud season we could make it up without a problem. The stream was a lovely resource to keep her cool as we went along. Can not thank you enough for offering such an fun spot for us to hike with our little girl!Sage R.

FAQ about our Waterbury Village Historic District 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.

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.
