What people say about dog hiking trails around Chaska, Minnesota

Holly S.

April 2024

Such a great place to sniff and explore—especially for reactive dogs that don’t do great in busy environments/shared fence lines. We’ll definitely be back to walk the trails again 🐶

Maureen A.

April 2024

Our 2nd visit and with spring a little more upon us, it was even better! The trails were dry and easy to navigate, and the woods and privacy make it a little nature get-away only 30 minutes from home!

Travis H.

April 2024

Great spot if your dog likes to run trails and play in creeks. We brought home one very happy tired dog.

Amanda O.

April 2024

It was really nice, it had hills/low areas so was nice not totally flat. Trails were clear and open. Even had a little garage can for your poo bags. That was nice!! Would go again!!

Kayla & Marlin S.

May 2024

Wow!! This spot is amazing. My pup absolutely loved running and jumping through the different terrain, especially the stream and ravine areas! We will absolutely be coming back. Some of the trees are blossoming around the trails too and it’s so beautiful. I’ve never had a happier Hazy!

Nicole O.

May 2024

Great location! Lots of land, lots to sniff and see! There is a creek that our dogs loved walking in as well as lots of woods for them to run through.

Erin N.

Nice big space to wander around and with the hills a bit of a workout for the humans. The trails are dirt so I would suggest rubber boots and a towel if it’s been rainy.

Melissa M.

Katie's spot has a whole new look with the arrival of Spring! So much green--it's stunning. Most of the trails, especially in the woods, are dry enough to walk after all the rain. I'd still wear shoes with a good tread, but hiking boots aren't a must. Gabby stayed pretty clean, too; she's short-haired, medium weight, dainty paws. We absolutely love coming here, and with enough widely varied terrain, you can visit again & again and never be bored!

It’s a lovely property and as advertised. It reminded me of Battle Creek dog park. The trail is a loop that takes a half hour to walk. Partially dirt path, partially mowed grass path - some of the paths are tricky to see/follow, but we figured it out quickly after a moment of confusion. It’s pretty hilly - a workout for both 4-legged and 2-legged. Mostly wooded, but there’s some clearings and water features. It’s more a place for exploring nature than flat out running. I saw one wild turkey nearby in the woods. Lots of bugs. The owner was a friendly, happy fellow.

Melanie Y.

May 2024

We had a blast, as always!! We are so glad this space is shared for other pups to use - fun trails, the creek running through, all the things!

Janet R.

May 2024

One of my dogs is nervous around other dogs so this has been a great place for him. He’s able to be off leash without any fear of running into other dogs. The space is great with trails to walk and some open areas to play. I really appreciate that they’ve opened up their property to others. We will continue to come visit!

This place is a gem! I come once a week so Enzo can run and explore. It's one of his favorite places. It is tick season and the gnats are out, so come prepared!

Alex M.

1st time using Sniffspot with our blue heeler and had the greatest experience! This property is absolutely perfect and we had an amazing time. The trails are maintained so well and we will definitely be returning!

Lauren K.

May 2024

We went on a rainy day and there were a lot of bugs out so I would recommend bug spray! But it was a perfect place to let Luke off leash and have fun. Will definitely be going back!

Seong K.

May 2024

Great place for dogs but we couldn't stay for the whole duration due to mosquitoes. I've never encountered so many mosquitoes in my life.

Sarah S.

June 2024

Such a gorgeous, quiet property! My dog had the best time running around on the trails and in the grass! The trails are fantastic, well maintained, and there are tables tucked away in the trees that would make perfect picnic spots. Like others have noted, it is bug season and they were definitely out since it had just rained so be prepared. We’ll definitely be back once the weather cools off and there are fewer bugs. Highly recommend!

John B.

Great spot with lots of open spaces! Our dogs love a swim so the creek and pond were well used. Definitely a spot we plan on returning to!

Hannah S.

June 2024

We visit Poppy's prairie 1-2x every week. It is such a gem near the cities and I feel so lucky to visit as often as I do. The mosquitoes are voracious in the spring. They get less bothersome later in the season as the small creek dries up. Make sure your dogs are on flea/tick prevention. The host generously provides bug spray. I supplement bug spray with permethrin treated clothes, a headnet if I'll be walking along the creek, and a pyrethrin or cedar oil spray for the dogs. The bugs can be overcome and it is well worth it!

Nicole P.

June 2024

Super fun time exploring the trails! It was useful to bring water and a bowl, and next time I will definitely be bring bug spray and shoes for the mud.

Toon G.

June 2024

Our 2 babies had a blast! We enjoyed all the trails. Thank you for providing bug spray for humans and doggies.

FAQ about our Chaska 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.
