55Me and my active and curious German Shorthaired Pointer enjoyed this space very much. Tried out both fenced-in fields. My dog found a way out, so please do take note of the “standard horse fencing”, as it may allow a dog that pushes the limits to find an escape route. Horses (beautiful!) are present. Will come back again and explore more, since we had lots of fun. We were there in the morning, and both fenced-in areas were full-sunny. Christine K.

55My dog was a little confused about what she was supposed to do at first and only wanted to walk along the drive. She started to catch on then and it was great to be able to give her some off lead time! Martina K.

55Lots of wide open spaces for pups to run and play. I would recommend wearing long pants--it is a farm and the grass gets long in some areas. Juni loved being able to roam off leash, except when we were near the "big dogs" (horses). She was a little too crazy and I had to leash her. Vonnie C.

55A special place for sure. A farm! We walked along the edge of the woods on a loop along a mown path of a field/meadow. Think my dog found the pig just off the path and was glad to have his lead on. And he was happy to roll in dead snake too! Yay! A successful trip. There seems to be many options to roam and explore. Great communication from the kind host.Kim J.

55Beautiful and so much fun. Our dog loved all the different areas to explore, and we enjoyed walking around the lovely scenery with her. She really enjoyed sniffing around the pond before letting loose for some long distance fetch in the large field. Such a great place!Joe P.

55This is such a beautiful Sniffspot with a great mix of areas to explore. The property is huge and set back from the road/neighbors so it was the perfect place to give my reactive dog freedom without both of us having to be on guard. We could have spent all afternoon wandering around here. The hosts are also very communicative.Becca M.

55Will definitely be back to explore more, a hour almost isn’t enough time! Property is a good mix of open field and woods. There are horses, chickens and a pig (I believe). There is a pond that my dog jumped into and the host was kind enough to let me ride her off. Great property, great host, great experience!Suzanne C.

55Our dogs absolutely loved the freedom they got running through the hay field and through the woods. They were super interested in the chicken and duck coop but thankfully the birds were secured. Our dogs had also not been so close to horses and it was a great new experience for them. So much to see we wished we booked more than an hour!Marjorie R.

55What a great place! Very peaceful and relaxing and lots of space for my pup to run. He was so excited to be running in the great outdoors. He definitely had a blast and has been sleeping ever since we got back home. The property was very clean and well cared for. I truly appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the space with my dog. Thank you for the great experience!Gilbert P.

55The field behind the big barn was wide open and very clean. The trail that led through the woods was also very wide and my dog had a great time. I look forward to returning. Meredith K.

55Huge field space for pups to run and play fetch plus side trails for hikes. The woods are not marked but it’s fairly clear the trails - do wear good shoes and pants as there’s plenty of thorny plants. My dog got all his zoomies out and snoozed soundly afterward! Jessica L.

55Tons of space for dogs to roam and play - and different kinds of spaces for variety for each visit. Our dog loved going through the wooded area and meeting a horse (from a distance :) )Ariel K.

55Beautiful quiet property! Loved the open fields, the woods, and the pond. We visited on a warm, very sunny weekend in Feb so almost no mud in the woods. The grassy fields were completely dry. My dogs loved it - running the entire time. Property was clean & appreciated that the open fields were not tall grass. We did see a group of 4 deer about 60 yards away, they ran when they heard us coming so my dogs didn’t notice. The driveway was as described. I’d definitely go back with my 2 dogs! Jennifer G.

55Loved this spot! Definitely will be back! Would love even a rough hand drawing of the lay of the land but as long as Michelle doesn’t have too strong of feelings about people wandering aimlessly, then that’s all fine by me! Kelly N.

FAQ about our Friendship 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 Friendship?
There are 6 dog hiking trails in the Friendship area. The most popular dog hiking trail is The 80 acre wood. 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.
