55Second visit, another great time! Lots of sniff spots for our dog and wide, open trails to run and really pick up speed. It feels safe, too. The woods aren't dense so I don't lose sight of her.Lorna C.

55It was a great visit! It's nice to have a spot to go for off leash training, and just a beautiful trail in general. The trail was groomed. The host came outside to meet me and inform me of the trail map.
I would recommend!Dana W.

55My two doggos and I had a wonderful time at Cathy's property. We were greeted when we arrived with a map of the area. We walked for about 50 minutes around the various trails, taking in the beauty. I would highly recommend this space for a nice meander with your furry friends! Skylar W.

55A very different (and still great) experience from our winter visits! Our dog enjoyed the trails, the various critter dens in old tree trunks, and all the springtime smells. The Orchard Trail is a bit rougher without the snow (lots of natural vegetation and tree roots) but the wider, straight trails on the north end are still great for running.Lorna C.

55This was my first visit to Sugar Bush Acres with my 3 dogs and we loved it! Absolutely gorgeous property with nice trails and lots of safe areas for off-leash play. My dogs all had a blast and are completely tuckered out! We will be back the next time we are in the area! Amy Jo W.

FAQ about our Greater Sudbury 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 Greater Sudbury?
There are 4 dog hiking trails in the Greater Sudbury area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Infinity acres Dog Park In Greater Sudbury. 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.
