55We’ve been here a few times and it’s always great! I love having private hiking trails for our Maxie to explore and practice recall. This time we met a few cute goats behind the fence!Riley P.

55This was the first sniff spot I’ve visited, and I’ll definitely be back! The trails were well-marked and had cute benches/forts to enjoy along the way. My dogs loved it too!Leah M.

55My dog had such a great time here. We loved the little trails and she was having the time of her life running up and down them. The hosts also have a water station set up for the dogs, which is so nice of them! We will absolutely be coming back 🙂 Medina I.

55Wonderful spot! Will definitely be back. Walking around the whole area takes about 40 minutes. The creek was dry but the dogs still loved it. Great shade and a nice little workout! Annie F.

55A wonderful spot for dog & human! Lots to sniff and see. The view on the view trail is spectacular. Be prudent and wear appropriate shoes as the property and the trails are not level.Aileen C.

55I loved the quiet, private access, the fresh cool water stand for the pups, the varying paths and the freedom for them to be off leash. So long as your dogs eventually come back during their trail sprints, it's a truly fantastic space. I appreciate the hills burning extra energy for all of us.Leslie M.

55Always a pleasure here! This is my third time booking and my pup always leaves tired and happy! There were some goats behind the fence on the property this time around (I’ve never seen them before) but it was super easy to leash up my dog while we walked passed them and unleash after! They were a cute surprise :) Lili H.

55The parking instructions in the description were helpful, and the parking spaces themselves were really obvious! The trails were well-maintained and clearly marked. Our pup had a blast running around through the forest. We didn't use it, but there was a little water station, which was a lovely touch. We also loved the map outlining the trails! By the parking spots, there is a little basket for poop bags, which was amazing. I'm so glad I didn't have to pack ours out!Abby I.

55Wow! What the property offers is exactly what we were looking for and exceeded my hopes/wants. I had been on the lookout for an alternative to hiking/outdoor exploration, where my pup and I could have more of a calmer, off leash, enjoyable experience without being on extra high alert for other dogs around the corner — and we found it! Looking forward to our next visit. This Sniffspot is dog (& owner) paradise and offers variety of options to suite any need: hike/explore (3 different paths including creekside), play in the meadow, sniff, hang out and chill, etc. The grounds are well kept. Water station available for pup. Normally I shy away from communal water however, water was fresh and bowls were clean. The owner clearly cares and their effort into maintaining the spot did not go unnoticed. Stellar communication as well - Instructions were very clear. This being my first time, I made a note when booking and while I didn’t expect a response, the owner reached out. Overall, incredibly impressed with this Sniffspot. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

FAQ about our Amity 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 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 Amity area range from $9.0 and $9.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Big Ole Yard. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Big Ole Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
