55Our dog Lucca had a ton of fun zooming around in Spring Acres! We’ve never seen her this happy 😂 John is a superb host - he kindly greeted us at the front gate, gave us a quick introduction about the farm and showed us where we can go explore. We also got a copy of the hand drawn map of Spirng Acres which helped us a lot navigating the trails. Would highly recommend this place to any pup who loves hiking and playing in water.Chuan-Ti C.

55Our boys had such a great time exploring the trails and playing in the creek! John was a great host- gave us a fabulous little map and mini tour of the property to navigate around during our time. I think we effectively wore out the pups, and will definitely be back. 🐾🥰 Thanks so much, John and Stephanie!!Bren S.

55 This place was awesome! It was my first Sniffspot and Otto loved it! The trails on the property were really cool and so many details along the way with benches and signage. There was a lot of room for my pup to explore. The owner was really nice and showed me around. He had cool animals on his property too. I definitely recommend this place.Erica S.

55This is a beautiful spot. The friendly host met us and gave us a helpful map for the area. It really is like a hike rather than just someone’s yard which is what I was searching for. You and your dog will pass close and personal to some cute farm animals when arriving . Lots of ducks, turkeys, rabbits, goats and a cow or two. You will keep the leash on till you get through the pasture. My dog was so excited by all the smells she ignored even the bunnies and walked easily through them. Wear sturdy hiking type shoes. Lots of cute bridges to go over and some are slick with all the rain. There is a creek and I can imagine a lot of splashing fun when it’s not middle of winter. I will stress it’s the woods. My dogs recall is pretty good but I’d say if you are nervous about losing sight just bring a long line. My dog alerted on a squirrel when almost done and didn’t take off but just know it’s a possibility. My last dog would head to another state if unleashed 😅. We can’t wait to go back!Elaine L.

55This place is a gem. John was so kind and inviting. He made all the little bridges, the cabin, the trails. It was like a little getaway in an enchanted forest. Our dogs had a blast. My son did too. His goat was also very friendly and not scared of my dog. Haha. It was a beautiful property and landscape. I would highly recommend it!D R.

55This place is a gem! Beautiful location with nice trails, creeks, and some open space for your pups to run. I bet it is even more beautiful in the Spring/Summer! The host was great to us. Very responsive, met us out there, and walked us out for our first time with very nice hand drawn maps. He gave us info about the property and eas very pleasant. He was very kind and patient as I do have two young anxious pups, Shepherd and Husky/Shep mix. As stated in their description, there are farm animals around, and you do go through a pasture first with chickens, turkeys, and cows nearby. I appreciated his patience with us getting past that with my two pups. Something we continue to work on in our training since GSD is very prey driven. Otherwise, mine have great recall and absolutely loved the trails to run on! It was a great way to spend the day and would love to come back!Casey P.

55It's obvious the hosts put a lot of care and consideration into their Sniffspot! John met me upon arrival, helped me through his pasture and showed me around the Sniffspot property.
My dogs had an absolutely WONDERFUL time running the trails, playing in the streams and eating grass. It was pretty muddy, but that was anticipated after all the snow and rain we've had. It certainly didn't affect their fun!Monica L.

55We always love our time at Spring Acres! I bring my senior dog and a few of her young friends that keep her feeling youthful! Today we brought three friends who had never been to this spot before, and I think they had the time of their lives! So much space to romp, creeks to splosh, and new smells to enjoy. The human in our pack (me!) also appreciated some of the updates in the last year: bridges that had been replaced/repaired and stepping stones added to some of the muddier trails and one of the creeks... It made it easier for me to navigate and keep up with the pack! Thank you, John and Stephanie for a fabulous time!Aubbie B.

FAQ about our Algona 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.
