55Annie and Mike have a lovely spot! Annie was very prompt with my messages leading up to our visit. She is super organized and met me with a map and very detailed overview of the trails before we set out for our walk. Couldn’t say enough great things about this spot!Stavrula L.

55This is such a beautiful place. The love and care for the land by Mike and Annie is so evident. Beautiful plant life. I can't wait to come again. My dog loved every second there! Also a massive thank you for having a toilet available. I drove from Scarborough so by the time I got there I had to pee real bad. Jillian C.

55Great spot! Annie was very friendly and informative when I arrived. Bug spray is a MUST... left a little early because of them, but bugs are to be expected when you're in the woods. The dog loved every second! Vania R.

55This sniffspot was perfect for our husky! We booked it for 90 minutes which was the perfect length for us to enjoy the trail and pond. Would definitely go back again! If you’re going at this time of year, just remember to bring bug spray.Bridget G.

55Excellent place to explore, the dogs loved it! Trails are well marked and lots of little different routes to keep things interesting. You can tell a lot of care has gone into keeping things safe for everyone. The host came out and gave us a greeting and provided us with a map, contact info and friendly reminder to wear bug spray, which is a must for any wooded activity at dusk. We will definitely be back :) Stephanie F.

55Great trails. Pup loved it. We will definitely return. I wasn’t well prepared for the mosquitoes so next time I will bring bug netting and head to toe coverage with bug spray as it’s deep forest and lots of mosquitoes, as expected. Thank you for the lovely walk!Michelle B.

55This was a wonderful experience for our pups and we loved the privacy and exploring potential. We also appreciated the places to sit, as one member of our group has difficulty walking long distances. As mentioned in other reviews, do remember your bug spray - mosquitoes really were a nightmare!Emma G.

55My dog and I had a great time here! Trails were easily labeled, well groomed, and clean! Didn’t hear another sound the entire time! Beautiful place to go for a walk! We will definitely be back! My dog particularly liked the puddles but he was easy to wipe with a towel and there is also an extra available for a “doggy hose off” to hose off your pup before getting in the car which I loved as it let me relax more and let him play in the water all he wanted :) can’t wait to go back! Will be amazing colours in the fall! Karyssa C.

55Great little loop and walking venue in the forest and near a pond. Oreo absolutely loved his sniffari. The owners were so kind and I did forget one of the rules and I did sincerely apologise after as Annie did come to gently and kindly check on us. And I ask other visitors to be respectful of this rule and not forget it as I did. It is that when returning to vehicle, do not hang around at the vehicle and socialize. No lingering please. They have a reactive dog that sees us through the house’s window and hears us on his property and is apparently tearing the window frame apart. So, my apologies again to Annie that we decided to drink our tea and rusks at the vehicle before setting off. We will take our tea on the trail for sure next time. Do bring mozzie spray and do embalm yourselves in it because the moment we stopped, we were swarmed. A great big thank you to the owners for allowing us to use the land for off-leash dog walks. Very grateful. 🐾🐾 Maria D.

55This is our second time visiting and I know we will be regulars going forward. I did find it abit confusing following the map at first but quickly realized if you just look for the blue stripes on the trees it’s very clear where to go. If you don’t see any blue stripes, you probably got off course and you just have to look around to find it and you’ll be ok. I love it here because Archie doesn’t stay on the path but loves to go through the bushes and jump through the forest. A few other sniff spot places he’s come across a lot of burrs as a result which makes clean up after so time consuming. Bu here it’s very minimal maybe a little one here and there and easy to remove so it works well for us. We could easily stay more than an hour, for sure in the future. We took note of the comments from others about mosquitos so we came prepared from that perspective although the second time there was very little. Would 100% recommend. Thank you Mike and Annie for sharing your property!Christine C.

FAQ about our Acton 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 Acton?
There are 23 dog hiking trails in the Acton area. The most popular dog hiking trail is A Pup's Life on 137 Acres. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.
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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Acton area range from $5.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is 7 Acres With Pond In Erin. The most expensive dog hiking trail is The Ranch, In New Tecumseth. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
