55A perfect place to take our dog and person reactive pup for a walk. We rarely get to see her be so relaxed and enjoying herself. The trails are well cared for and the owner provided a map that was super helpful. Thank you George for opening up your beautiful property to us!Hayley F.

55As everyone else has mentioned, George is kind, provides a map and gives the lay of the land. My dog, who is reactive toward other dogs, has a high prey drive and poor recall when squirrels and such are nearby, had the best time running in the mud and following all the trails. We booked two hours as others suggested and found it to be plenty of time to wander around, get lost and find our way back. Sharise H.

55This spot is our favourite! George met us and shared a map of the trails. The trails were flat so easy to walk and there’s a few landmarks to orient yourself while you wander. Lovely forested area with a great river/creek running through it - pretty fast moving in spots. Perfect spot for our dog and us! Sherry H.

55The best spot! George is very friendly and welcoming, as he meets you to give you a map and explain the trails on the property. The trails are amazing! Our dog absolutely loved the trails. We spent 2.5 hours here after looking at the reviews and it was a great amount of time to see it all and take your time. My dog was off leash and didn’t have an issue, but she has good recall. There are some fast areas of the creek I’d watch extra careful maybe leash curious dogs. Kaysha M.

55What a wonderful experience. Our first time we were greeted at the entrance and immediately felt welcome. The map was super helpful and we could have gone for hours. Booked an hour, will probably do 1.5 or 2 next time to really stretch our legs.Michael B.

55This was my first time at George’s park and not my last. I was a beautiful forest and so relaxing to know that there were no dogs coming around the corner. George is a great host, He provides a map and even a container to drop off your poo bagsSherri W.

55George was waiting for me at the entrance to the property to show me where to park, and provided me with a map of his property. He is very nice! He did tell me that there is a neighbour who often walks the trails, so I kept my human reactive boy on leash. We ran into her about 20 mins in and she is also lovely and understanding of being barked at. If you have a human reactive dog I would keep this in mind!
The trails throughout the property were easy to follow and my dogs liked the stream to play in. We will definitely be back! Micheala O.

55This was our second weekend in a row to George’s place and it is just amazing. We explored lots of new smaller trails this time- along the creek was the favourite. Our 6 year old loved it just as much as our dog so it’s an awesome place to get the whole family out for a walk without worrying about our reactive dog. We will be back!Kirsten M.

55George’s nature park is a wonderful place to take our dogs on long lines and safely practice recall. George was so kind to come and meet us and give us a map and a lay of the land since it was our first visit. There were extensive trails to walk and a beautiful creek for the dogs to splash and drink. It was stress free knowing we wouldn’t run into any other dogs, as ours can be reactive. We are so fortunate to have George’s nearby and are already planning our next visit. George, thanks for all the work you’ d put in to make this beautiful private nature park and for sharing it with the larger community!Maria M.

55This place was perfect!! It was such nice peace of mind to let my dog run and have the best time, without my head having to be on a swivel looking out for other dogs. George gave us humans a friendly greeting then gave space to my dog so she could go do her thing (which is lose her marbles and let loose in the woods). We will definitely be back.Larissa J.

55Amazing property! George is a wonderful host, who very kindly talked to us about his property. The map provided was excellent and a great help, along the various signs around the property marking the landmarks. My pup loved it and so did I. Gorgeous!
We stopped here to break the drive from up to down Island. Booked 2h and got to see most of it but you could easily spend more time exploring all the smaller trails. Can't wait to come back!Raphaelle M.

This flexibility is perfect for shift workers or dogs with special needs.
Do Westholme dog hiking trails allow multiple dogs?
Yes! Most Westholme dog hiking trails welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings), but generally you can bring your whole pack.

Check individual Westholme dog hiking trail listings for event policies.
How do Westholme dog hiking trails accommodate dogs with special needs?
Westholme dog hiking trails are excellent for special needs dogs because you can filter for specific requirements: flat terrain for mobility issues, secure fencing for blind/deaf dogs, quiet locations for anxious dogs, small spaces for seniors, or maximum privacy for reactive dogs.
