55This was our first sniffspot and was an excellent spot for both my 5 month old puppy and my older dog, they were both able to explore and climb at levels they were comfortable with while also having a few more challenging spots. I also loved the very clear signage at the beginning of the trails and the little farm stand!Annalisa M.

55Very beautiful and easy to find. Nice accommodations. The trails are short and can be steep so expect to retrace your steps and get a little workout. Our dogs really enjoyed their time there exploring.Dani S.

55Everytime I visit a Sniffspot I daydream about what my future backyard may be like and today did not disappoint. Beautiful trails, in your backyard?!?! What?! Oh it was so stunning, private, quiet. Definitely a workout. An hour is a perfect time to do all the trails and take mini breaks. I’m forever grateful for this app and the opportunities I get to have with my babies. Thank you for sharing your beautiful backyard!!!Ivy H.

55We had a great rainy walk on the trails at Sapphire Point this afternoon. It was our first time there. We appreciated how easy it was to find and that the trails are well marked.
The trails provided a lot of sniffing opportunities for Ollie and a nice hill workout for me! We'll definitely come back for another visit.Ina D.

55Beautiful spot with plenty of room for dogs who love to sniff and run. Well maintained trails worked well for throwing their balls and they enjoyed running down the dry creek bed and jumping over logs and rocks! felt very remote in a good way. A hidden gem. Sarah M.

55Like your own private slice of forest park! I’ve been to a few sniff spots so far and they’ve all been wonderful but this one is so incredible! Me and my dog bruno loved exploring the 3 trails and being in the forest. While we love forest park, it’s so nice not to have to worry about any dogs that might be rounding the next corner as bruno can sometimes be reactive. It was a warm afternoon but perfect in the shaded areas of the trails. We will definitely be back! Nicole S.

If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
