55Such a great spot! There are walking paths, open fields and a creek for wading. Love that it offers a space to train, work on distractions in nature but also let her run/explore - will continue to be in our regular rotation! Holly C.

55My pups loved running around the fields, woods and creek. Looks like after all the rain there was some recent flooding by the creek, so pretty muddy today. But all the more fun for the dogs!Jill R.

55We had a wonderful time on Sandra's property. Tons of room to run and play and the river was a big hit. Because it's been so warm, there were still ticks as of Oct. 25th. Make sure you prepare and check your dogs after.Rhonda C.

FAQ about our Ghent 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?

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.
