55Great place! Loved IDing the native plants and birds while the pup got to run and swim. There are old dirt/gravel roads to walk, but the vegetation alongside is grown up..as it should be! I haven't met the host in person, but she's lovely and communicates well.Tiffany P.

55Great location and great view, my dogs loved it. A bit overgrown in some areas but you're in nature it's to be expected but i definitely recommend jeans and sneakers! We drive a smaller car so the gravel road was a little worrisome but my car toughed it out and led us as far as we felt comfortable and we parked and walked to the lake which wasnt much further than where we parked. It might seem like you made a wrong turn but just keep going (if you can) and you can park right by the lake. Bring towels, my lab couldn't resist getting chest deep in mud and lake water. I wish I could upload videos, my boy ran as fast and as far as he could and obviously had so much fun being free (with great recall). We didn't get a chance to meet the host but she promptly replied to any questions and once it cools off we will be coming back.Sonia K.

55This is our pup's most favorite sniffspot ever! The host is super nice. If you want to hike with your dog off-leash without worrying about other off-leash dogs, or other people who don't like off-leash dogs, this sniffspot is the answer. Worth the drive from Atlanta.G. K.

55Wow. I think I’d book this spot without a dog. Beautiful property with tons of room to sniff. Wiggles the foster dog immediately began herding deer which was a skill I didn’t know he had. We loved it and can’t wait to come back!John F.

55This is such an awesome spot! It was well worth the drive up from Atlanta. There's tons of room to explore and lots of open fields, so my dogs wore themselves out racing around. Kim also gave very detailed instructions and met us at the gate, which I appreciate! We will be back again for sure. Brianna A.

55Definitely worth the drive from Atlanta and would make for the perfect pit stop if roadtripping on 75. Luna had the best time swimming, walking the trail and playing fetch in the open fields. Such a peaceful location! We’ll definitely be back to explore! Michelle M.

55We had a blast with our two babies. The land is very spacious. We have a shepherd who is reactive to other dogs (and sometimes people) so we were looking for somewhere secluded. We didn’t get the note from the owner in time to know that some guests have seen trespassers, but we scouted the area before getting out of the car and ended up having the perfect morning. The dogs enjoyed swimming, watching geese, and space to chase each other while we walked and got our exercise in too! Helped to have an suv for us to ensure we were far in enough to have privacy.

55The BEST sniff spot I’ve ever been to! The host is wonderful. The land is so peaceful and beautiful. My dog had the best time exploring the property. If your dog is good off leash but isn’t a big fan of dog parks, this is definitely the place for you. We will definitely be back!!Ashley L.

55This is a reactive dog’s dream! It is such a great property. It was very easy to find and an easy drive from Atlanta! We were there for two hours and I don’t think we ever hit the edge of the property. 10/10 recommend! The lake was great! My dogs did try to make friends with the geese 😂. For geese, they were very nice about it and flew to the other side of the lake.
Side note for reactive dog owners: there was a few trespassers at the lake but they left as soon as I got there. I would recommend keeping your dog on a leash until you get to the lake, which is just down the hill from parking. jenna w.

55This spot is absolutely fabulous!! My dog isn’t even interested in swimming, and we easily filled 2 hours with hiking around and exploring. The spot is set well back from the road, which gave me an extra level of comfort with my dog being off leash. We will certainly be back, and I’ll probably book 3 or even 4 hours next time and bring a picnic lunch. Such a fun day out with my pup!Natalie B.

FAQ about our Calhoun 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.
