What a great walk on the trails today. Nice wide trails to go at your own pace. Our Gus loves sniffing and exploring. Martin is a gracious host. Has lots of the trails marked and were presented with a map to help us along the way way. We got to see the beehives (keep our distance of course). Will are all tired out and can’t wait to come back.

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.
