55This spot has everything! It is such a cool, hidden gem. There are all sorts of little trails, a creek for the dogs to play in (or drink from) and overall tons of space to sniff and play. Also a very well kept bathroom if needed, which we really appreciated since we drove 1+ hour to get to this spot. Very excited to come back in warmer weather with many pups!Liz H.

55A great Sniffspot with fabulous hosts and a beautiful piece of property! We always enjoy, and get a great workout, on the wooded trails which are quite hilly. Be sure to wear boots this time of year as some areas are muddy. There is also a tree down from the last wind storm and it blocks one of the steepest trails - not a problem though as there are plenty of other trails and it gave me an excuse not to hike the hardest one! My reactive dog absolutely loves this Sniffspot and I feel comfortable knowing we won’t run into others. Thanks John and Stephanie for providing such a wonderful experience. Bonnie B.

55The property is beautiful and my dogs got to encounter chickens goats and cows for the first time. There are a lot of beautiful little bridges over streams and property is well maintained. Already booked our next visit!Crystal D.

55Another great experience at Spring Acres! My dog loves this place and we come often. Stephanie and John are always making improvements too. For example, they’ve recently patched some muddy spots with gravel, put in a new parking spot on the back entrance, and have added another waste receptacle. Highly recommended!!Bonnie B.

55We just visited beautiful Spring Acres with our two older dogs and our new 13 week old puppy. This was my second visit after being introduced to the place by a friend recently. I was determined to return soon with our canine gang! The owner met us upon arrival and kindly oriented us to the area; we then headed off on our own excited to explore! The weather was sunny but cool with scattered snow still on the ground; the creek was running fairly high. Given the delightful layout of the natural wooded property with its trails and little bridges that traverse the hillside, our doggies were able to clamber and explore happily until they were good and tired (and a bit muddy!) The magical trails open up to various level meadows where the dogs could romp and chase each other freely (the snow patches provided a new experience for our pup!). Our hour flew past! We headed home with three tired happy dogs after a delightful time in nature! Thank you!Barbara T.

55Our favorite Sniffspot. It has nearly everything our dogs love- water, woods, open areas. And wonderful hosts and farm animals. The stream and sandy banks are great for swimming and play, the woods trails are lovingly cared for, and you can get some good exercise walking up the hill.Kate S.

55We come here a lot and always have such an amazing time. John & Stephanie are the absolute best hosts imaginable and the Sniffspot is a dog's dream. We are always discovering something new here. I find 2 hours gives us just enough time to explore all the trails, splash in the creek and play. My boy leaves very happy after every visit and is completely content the rest of the day. Really excellent spot! Susan D.

55This was an absolutely AMAZING SniffSpot experience. The hosts were extremely kind during our visit and their property was absolutely stunning. We loved the farm animals! There was ample room to explore the wooded areas and creeks on their property. It was a great experience all across the board for my pup and family! We would love to return to Spring Acres.

55Amazing Sniffspot! At the very top there is no enclosure, otherwise the area is secured by either fencing or very thick tall brush. We feel completely safe here. A really nice variety of terrain and nature...wonderful trails, a creek and grassy areas. You can tell this farm is loved. Thanks John & Stephanie!! ♥Susan D.

FAQ about our Fircrest 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 can I find dog hiking trails in Fircrest?

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.
