55My three dogs had a great time! Property is next to a quiet road but it’s difficult to see from a dog’s perspective from the trails itself. There are so many good sniffs here, from farm animals (don’t worry, they’re fenced away!) to all sorts of greenery. There were many large, banked turns that my coonhound puppy took advantage of to the fullest. There were chairs for dog parents and a full water bucket for the dogs (much appreciated!) I think the only thing that might have made it better would be a tiny trash can for poo bags, but this definitely won’t be a deterrent! We will be patronizing again, thanks!Emily B.

55Our dogs had a blast running through the trails and we loved exploring the beautiful landscape. Tons of space to run and throw and ball. Sheri was a kind and friendly host. We all had a great time and plan to be back soon! Nicole R.

55Beautiful property, secure enough not to worry about your pup who is recall trained. Trails, open spaces, and an abundance of sniff spots for your pal!Mario A.

55A wonderful spot. Host was very kind and explained the property lines. Site has a large spacious area behind the house, and a glorious woodsy area with some wetlands at the bottom of a hill. For accessibility, the area above has gentle small hills. To get to the woody area, there is a 45 degree decline on a moderate sized hill. Site does have an unfenced area that opens to a quiet road. My pup could be distracted to avoid reacting towards any people or pooches walking by. And the space is large enough to avoid that side, altogether. Nice paths are in place in the woods. Spot is quiet and tranquil. Host has placed toys, chairs and water is accessible. Site is clean. We look forward to visiting again. Sadaf H.

55A very well laid out sniffspot! It's essentially a large loop with a portion that borders the road. I leashed up whenever we walked by for safety but spent most of the time by the swamp. My lab loved it obviously :) Jessi C.

55My dog LOVED this spot. A terrier’s paradise for sure. Lots of places to jump and climb and sniff and burrow. She did come home with quite a few scratches and thorns, (lots of brambles and branches on the ground) but I think she hardly noticed because she was having such a good time. But definitely something to make note of if your dog is more sensitive to things like that. Michelle N.

55This place is a nice secluded play area with plenty of trails through the woods. My dog loved exploring and running around in the back! The hosts are very friendly, and there is water and a chuck-it available for use. Shannon D.

55Very nice Sniffspot - pretty with plenty of trees and underbrush to explore, with very walkable trails. As the listing describes, there is a side of the property that borders a road. It’s a quiet country road and I didn’t see much traffic. Nevertheless I did keep my doggo on a long lead most of the time, except when we were on the other (fenced) side of the property. Shari is a very communicative and hospitable host too. Bonnie B.

55My pup had such a great time here! The host is very kind and met with me beforehand to give me a layout of the property. There is a hill to go down to get to the woodsy area/trail. There were 2 separate ponds on the left side that my pup enjoyed. There was a deer when we first got there. Very quiet area. The right side of the property isn’t fenced and is a road. During our time there only one family and their dog that walked by. I kept my pup on a leash just in case whenever we passed this area. We will definitely be back!Mandie J.

55We had a really good time!!! Lots of space to sniff and run. The property is large and it appears mostly unfenced. Virgil sticks close so we didn’t have to worry when we were by the road (very low traffic on a Saturday, just Amazon and a neighbor or two driving by) or when a neighbor walked by. The hosts are really nice, too! Athena J.

55Great Spot! My dogs had a fun time chasing their balls and sniffing throughout the wooded area.
The whole left side is fenced but the whole right side is not and there is a private road that parallels the area. When we started to walk from the left, and really swampy side, to the right side of the woods, people were walking down the road and a car did also so good to keep this in mind. I can see there might be a potential for fearful or reactive dogs to go after someone walking down the road or go after a car so dogs with good recall will not have an issue. Nicole L.

FAQ about our Auburn 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.
