55Our 3 dogs loved all the places to explore around the pond and had a great time. We have one dog who is really nosy about everything and found a garage/workspace on the property where there was a few things I was worried about her getting into but it turned out ok. Just make sure you’re with your pup, if they’re fast they can get to the other side of the pond pretty quick. John S.

55The dogs had SO much fun!! David, the host, was super accommodating and responded to my questions quickly before we arrived. The property was great, lots of space to run and explore, plus interesting sheds, garages, and corners that one of my dogs absolutely loved rummaging around in (sorry about that). The fence is truly secure and I was able to relax and let the dummies run around like maniacs, something I rarely feel comfortable doing.
There were other dogs on the property when we visited, contained inside a fenced boarding kennel. There’s also some visibility between the kennel and the sniffspot area, so my dogs and the boarded dogs could see each other. For whatever reason, my selectively reactive dogs didn’t seem too bothered by the boarded dogs, but I could see this being an issue for others.
All in all, a great time. We will absolutely be back!Angelica G.

555 Star from our 3 dogs. They had a great time. We appreciate the hose to spray them off before we left. I had texted Dave when I booked the spot and kindly ask that he keep his dog inside while we were there. I also checked to make sure there were no visiting dogs in the AirBnB. We'll be back.Madeleine L.

55This place is the bomb. My dog had such a fun time and we will definitely be back. I was worried at first she would be bored because we don’t have another dog but the owner was so kind and let two of his dogs out to play with mine. The dogs were so nice and kept mine entertained for 2 hours. Beautiful yard with a lake and tons of hammocks to lounge around inCarmen W.

55I thought we were lost but we just had to keep going down a single lane road. Signage was good. Dogs and kid had a great time. We walked around the pond a few times. I forgot a towel and we did end up with 1 wet dog! Humans may want some bug spray, definitely a few mosquitoes around the pond. Great time had by all!!Kimberly F.

55I’ve always wanted to try this spot out and glad I did. It was super fun and spacious for a recall class I hosted. Parking was available as well as towels for any dogs that went into the pond. I’d say be aware that while dogs were out of sight you could here them and people were present as they also rent out camping spots in the space. Still a great spot. Stephanie S.

55We liked it! There’s a lot to see and do here, although the 5 acres is a lot of space! Doggy in the water was new for us, and lots of cool balls and toys around to play with if you forgot your own. Easily accessed in Poway! Li T.

FAQ about our Alpine 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 Alpine?

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?

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.
