55The property is so lovely and my Auri had a wonderful time. The hosts seem to really care about dogs and want to do whatever they can for them.
It was a blast to be the first person (and dog) to visit the property. Lots of sniffs to sniff and my girl got so much running done. We both didn't want to leave.Courtney K.

55This is an amazing spot to bring your pup! It feels like endless space - and yet it's all fenced in. The woods are beautiful and the hosts are very kind and took great care of us and our dog. I would definitely come back againCaleb & Kelsey K.

55An amazing sniff spot! The trail is well kept, tons of sniffs and the fencing was strong.
I’m not sure who will enjoy the walk more, you or your dog! The host was so welcoming.
One heads up, GPS thinks it’s further down then it is, it’s directly after the stone wall!Sarah M.

55Our dogs had the time of their lives here! They enjoyed sniffing and running around as well as cooling off in the little pond. The hosts were very accommodating - there was fresh water out for the dogs as well as a little dog water fountain. We hope to return again!Anna L.

55I cannot rave enough!! The hosts were so welcoming and helpful, had everything my pup might need available. They even took the time to hide a surprise that Barrett was so excited to find. We will be back! Beautiful fenced in woods and a fun pond with a dock for swimming, basically doggy heaven!! ☺️🐶 Sierra K.

55Exactly what we needed! Our dogs can be a little sketchy when it comes to other dogs so we needed an area where we didn’t have to worry about anything and we found it! Lots of Trails and woods to explore. Host was amazing and has water ready and even hid a little surprise in the woods for my pups. Definitely will be back. Kaela R.

55My dogs loves the trails and the little pond on the property. They aren’t big water dogs and large lakes scare them so it was so much fun to see them having fun in the pond. One dog was tired and ready to get back in the car and the other dog I had to chase back down the driveway because she didn’t want to leave. 🤣 We will definitely be back. Becky B.

55My friend, her baby and our two rotties had the best time! They are wild and loved to run free through the woods! My girl loves the water so the pond was definitely a highlight too! The hosts were very accommodating! Kira did escape once where the fence was bent slightly as she hopped right over! So that is the only thing that could be improved upon :) thank you! Jessica S.

55We had an AMAZING time at Happy Trails ‘n’ Tails! The dogs loved running up and down the rolling, nicely groomed trail, sniffing off-trail through the woods, and playing in the pond. There was just so much space and interest for them—they came home and slept harder than they have in years! :-) Brent was so welcoming and accommodating, and had plenty of drinking water and an easy spot to drop trash. Basically, could not have been nicer!! We are so happy to have found this spot!! Lisa D.

55first off, this space, our host, & sniffspot is a true BLESSING for my dog-reactive dog. she was attacked 3 years ago, & after tons of training walks are no longer stressful, but she cannot be offleash at parks or lakes or campgrounds, & dog parks would be out of the question even if she WASN'T reactive.
this property is WONDERFUL. it's easy to find, super clean, there's LOTS to explore & see & do, but not so much that you're going to get lost or lose track of time. as an example, we made 2 full loops of the property, played a couple rounds of distance fetch (chuck-it!) in the large, open space next to the driveway, had 2 water breaks, & i generally let mina sniff & explore a spot for at least a minute or 2, rather than constantly prodding her forward... & by the time an hour was up, she was EXHAUSTED... & clearly needed a pupcup.
this is the perfect property to practice your dogs recall: new sights, smells, interesting wood piles or benches to sniff at, & if you walk in the right area, you'll hear some genuine hounds beyond another fenceline. it was so great to be able to practice recall skills while also having fun & just letting her be a dog without worry.
we will DEFINITELY be booking future romp-n-sniffs at this location. a HUGE thanks to the hosts for offering up such an awesome location, so that dogs like mine can experience some freedom!Heather G.

FAQ about our Byron Center 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 Byron Center area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Best Small Yard in Seattle!. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Best Small Yard in Seattle!. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
