55This is such a wonderful Sniffspot. It is Teddy's favorite Spot. He runs and runs, sniffs to his heart's content, and he loves the creek! Teddy wades in for a drink and walks around with water up to his stomach to cool off. If you haven't visited yet, I highly recommend it. Grace, the host, couldn't be any nicer and is always quick to respond when I have questions or comments. Thank you, Grace. Jacki D.

55This was our first adventure with Sniffspot and it was awesome! Grace welcomed us with simple directions, our sweet pup Maggie wandered, sniffed, and dogged for a solid hour and is now sacked out on the couch, happily filled up from her new favorite treat: Sniffspot!Amber N.

55Scarlette had a great time, the fencing around the perimeter is great 👍. Lots of area to cover, many seating areas, benches through out the property. Will definitely come back and recommend to others. The river and streams are really nice and have some deep areas for short swimming.Emily R.

55I really love how Grace came out to introduce herself for the first time and didn't require a meet with my reactive boy who is in force free training. This is the perfect place to explore especially for dogs who struggle in busy areas. The first half hour was all about exploring and the second half, a bit of fun off leash training session. My boy came back a happy, tired boy. Leanna F.

55My dogs and I loved this SniffSpot!! What a gorgeous property. It really did feel like a mini forest hike. Everything was clean and as described.
Just note that if you have small dogs, they may be able to go underneath the gate and into a different fully-fenced area that is not part of the SniffSpot and where the goats are. I'm glad my dogs didn't run out and bother the goats.
The host wrote our names on the sign and left little biscuits for us, which was a thoughtful and personal touch. Thank you!!Autumn P.

55This is a wonderful place for the dogs to run. The hills make it extra fun. My two had a blast. And Grace is a very thoughtful host. There are a couple places where I feel like the fence dips to below 4ft, but this comment is coming from a Rhodesian Ridgeback owner who has to pay extra close attention! For normal dogs, the fence is great - hahaNatalie J.

55Wow! What a great place! It was everything we were hoping for and so much more! The property is absolutely beautiful and so well maintained. Our two pups had such a great time running through the trails and exploring all of the things to sniff. We highly recommend this Sniffspot and we will definitely return again soon. It was a lovely experience from beginning to end. The owner went above and beyond and we appreciate it. :) Valeri M.

55We loved this Sniffspot, there was great signage, and our pup loved exploring the mini forest. He especially loved romping in the stream. The dog bone and chocolate at the end was a sweet ending to this special place!Alison D.

55As always this place is awesome, plenty of area to hike/walk and a few hills for the dogs to tire themselves out. Trees cover most of the area so your not in the hot sun. Edgar A.

55Super Sniffspot! Teddy loves this place the most. He romps & runs, then makes a bee-line to the creek to wade, drink & cool off. The woods are so tranquil & refreshing. Thank you for sharing this property! Jacki D.

55This Sniff spot was amazing. The host was great and welcomed me to the front. She even left a goody bag on my truck for when we came back. There is plenty of space for the dogs to run around and I even got a little workout walking up "the hill." I will definitely come back, and I know for a fact my dogs also want to. Anthony P.

55What an absolutely wonderful SniffSpot! Grace met us at our car, chatted sweetly with us, and showed us where to go. The property has well mainted and picturesque trails that meander through the mini forest. There is even a stream for the dogs. We were there in the afternoon on an 89° day. There was an abundance of shade and cooler temperatures. Our dogs loved it. The only thing that I would change for next time is to book it for 2 hours. We didn't want to leave and neither did our dogs.Joyce G.

55Wow! Such an amazing place. Cannot wait to visit again and again. Host is absolutely lovely. The Mini Forest is peaceful with charming cabins. The spot is clean, serene, and absolutely spectacular. My reactive boy had a wonderful time wading in the creek, running up and down hills, and taking in all the smells. He didn’t want to leave! We will definitely be back. May book extra time to have a picnic! Sadaf H.

55What a wonderful day! This was our second time here and our dogs just love it. They have the freedom to explore and run and we feel secure in knowing that the property is fully fenced and that our dogs won’t ever be too far away. We will definitely be back!Kira R.

55We loved this spot!! Lots of room to run and sniff, beautiful woods for everyone to enjoy, and it was so fun saying hello to the friendly goats! We brought toys (and were appreciative of the ones the host provided) but didn’t end up needing them because it was so fun to just explore for a while. We appreciated the welcoming touches like the personalized sign and treats! We got good and muddy and loved letting our city pup let loose for a while. Thank you, we’d love to come back soon!Alissa S.

FAQ about our Mission 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?
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.
