55What a great location to escape coronavirus restrictions in the city! It’s a beautiful mixture of woods, lawn, and pond. Our dog loved running without a leash on vast open fields. Our family enjoyed having space to spread out without worry of virus. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. An added bonus is that it’s a gorgeous drive from Columbus. It was a delightful respite after weeks sheltering in place!Millie A.

55We had a blast at this gorgeous property! We had a lovely morning hiking through the woods, wading in the pond, and playing fetch in the huge yard. It truly felt like a little getaway. There were a few ducks at the pond that appeared to be domestic. Not an issue for our dog but may be good for others to know. Ellen H.

There were quite a few thorn bushes to watch out for and some mud, but it is the woods! We had a great time :)Ashton H.

FAQ about our Johnstown 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.

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.
