Pack a lunch to enjoy on one of our picnic tables along the way or simply take in the peacefulness of the forest and wildlife.

Wildlife that are commonly seen on visits include deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, chipmunks, a beautiful array of wild birds, and much more. *Our terrain is uneven as it goes through woods. If you have trouble with balance or walking, please reconsider your visit to our property for your safety. Trails are kept clear, but raspberry and blackberry bushes present thorns, please use caution with these prickers. ** Our spot is fully fenced, however if your dog is not command trained we do not recommend letting them off leash.

Entry in any of the barns/buildings is prohibited. Please remain in the back of our property. We do live on the property and appreciate our privacy. FYI, this is a working farm.

This place was awesome! The creek was perfect and our dogs loved going in and out. Walking around was pleasant and the dogs got to sniff around and explore. Being able to hose them down and dry them off was great.

Lili V.

October 2022

Absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. Spacious and welcoming l! My pups had an amazing time running around and jumping in the creek. Thanks for the great set up!

What a beautiful spot, the creek was an excellent feature in a warm day. Lots of places to explore, my pups loved it.

Jennifer G.

January 2023

What a pretty space! Blue and I really enjoyed walking the perimeter of the farm. The towels and hose are a great touch! I’m jealous of your wide open space!🙂

Lyn F.

February 2023

Easy to find, host provided details and welcome via text. We walked the perimeter, explored near the creek, great exercise spot during our road trip. Towels for wiping paws and a garbage pail were provided, along with chairs. Outstanding experience.

Lovely, communicative host and a great location. My dog had a blast sniffing around the water and running through the empty field.

Holly J.

April 2023

Great hosts with excellent communication! The dogs are muddy, happy and tired. A few animal carcasses hidden in the woods made the trip even more exciting for them. Will definitely be back!

Jenine E.

We have visited this place a few times and love it. It is always clean and we always have a great time.

This was such an awesome sniffspot! My GSD had a blast running around the property off leash, diving into the creek, and playing with the hose. Hosts were fantastic and even provided towels to dry your doggy off after playing in all the water. Would definitely go back!

55Great time with lots of areas to explore: flat grass area with shade & Adirondack chairs, fields, woods, tall grass areas, and, of course, creek! There are 3 stone steps off the flat, grassy area to get safely into the creek. It has been dry so the creek was probably a little lower than normal but was fine for us & our 150lb Mastiff to get in and wade around in. If you had a small dog, the creek may be a little deep for them but ok right at the base of the steps. Some of the trails may be a little difficult to circumnavigate if you or your dog has difficulty ambulating/unsteady. They cut wide paths to take different trails throughout the property, but some areas would still be a bit high for really small dogs. This is out in fields/wooded areas, so the ground can also be uneven. But small dogs would have no problem in the large, grassy area right at the entrance. We went on a Thursday late morning and didn’t see anyone/any animals which was perfect for our reactive pup. He was a little unsure of the creek at first. Then he gained some confidence & started to splash around & get zoomies IN the creek just to jump out of it and then do zoomies in the large grassy area. The hose and bucket were greatly appreciated to be able to rinse off a bit (us and him) as well. Thank you for providing this unique Sniffspot! monica h.

Great pitstop on a roadtrip to the Midwest. Plenty of space to run and explore. My girl loved walking around the fields and hopping into the creek. Owners offered a wash off station to clean up after!

Karley K.

August 2023

Dogs had a great time! The creek has a deep enough spot where dogs actually had to swim so it was wonderful since I did not know if my dog who loves water was an actual swimmer. Deer trails were nice : )

Chrystel L.

What a great time! Beca was the sweetest at giving directions!. Her place is ideal and our boys had a blast! We loved the trails, the peacefulness and the boys enjoyed getting cooled off with the water hose at the end! Thank you again, we will be back for sure!

It was a beautiful place to visit ! It is very clean and enough to space for my dog sniff around. Trail was maintained most of part. We booked for 2 hours but we mostly spent for walk around. And we also very enjoyed. If you have very active dog love to sniff and walk around. This is perfect for you ! Also, this farm has apple tree and huge corn field. We also enjoyed to see those plant and flower. Very very recommended 🙂

FAQ About Caledonia 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 Caledonia?

There are 17 dog hiking trails in the Caledonia area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Boone Farm. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.

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.

How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?

Dog hiking trails in the Caledonia area range from $10.0 and $. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Boone Farm. The most expensive dog hiking trail is BCCD dog park. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
