55I almost don’t want to write a review because I don’t want it to get booked up all the time.. it was perfect! Pups had an amazing time exploring, the care put into the land, trails, and experience was evident and top notch. We will definitely be back! Erin S.

55What a dream to be able to go on a hike in the woods with my 2 reactive pups knowing we won't run into another person and have a freak out! Trails are labeled with maps throughout the woods. Multiple places for the pups to take a dip and cool off. Trail was muddy in spots despite no rain for a few days. So thankful this spot is available to use! Kylie S.

55Wonderful experience. Trails are very clearly marked and no issue finding the access point. We did an hour which was ~2 miles for us and there was still more to explore. Lily M.

55This was hands-down the best Sniffspot I have ever visited. The trails were very well kept and clearly marked. The land is absolutely gorgeous, with wildflowers blooming in spring. They had wonderful little touches, like a mailbox filled with snacks for guests. Corinna was very communicative and our dog had the time of his life at Plentiful Farm. Oneil A.

55This was our first sniffspot visit. Once I arrived, I reviewed the parking instructions and easily found where the trails started. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a cute table and chairs with information about the land, tips, maps, and extra supplies. My dog, Cora, immediately jumped into the creek and was SO excited. We followed Carter's trail to Jason's switchbacks, then to Baldy Trail and back to Carter's trail. I was worried we were cutting it close on timing, so we high-tailed it back to the entrance, but made it back in time for Cora to take another dip. She REALLY appreciated that after I pushed us to move so quickly! Looking forward to visiting again and checking out some of the other trails!!Lauren K.

55We had the best time at Plentiful Hill! It's obvious that Corinna and her family put a lot of thought and care into making their guests' visits enjoyable. The trails are well-marked and tended to. The property is beautiful with mixed terrain. It was the perfect spot to take our newly adopted dog for her first hike, and we very much look forward to future visits :) Bethany B.

55Increíble experience! A gorgeous property with tons of space to splash, run and hike around. There were maps and guides provided and it was an epic adventure for my pup (and myself haha).
The host was very kind, when we got turned around she answered immediately so we were not lost for long.
Can’t wait to go back. Courtenay J.

55This place was incredible! 10/10 experience. I have tried a lot of different sniff spots and this one by far was the most well thought out and intentional. The trails were clear and maintained. Shaded enough to be able to be out on a 90° day. No fence wasn’t a problem, but my dog does a decent job staying in trail. We didn’t encounter and other people or animals, other then a very cool owl I spotted on one of the trails! The hammock and snacked throughout the property were really thoughtful touches. I will definitely be back! Erin S.

5510/10!!! Next time I’ll bring a taller friend with me to walk the trails first though cause of spider webs 😂 I learned after the first couple webs straight to the face to start waving ahead of me along the trails. The open areas were very nice and well maintained. Perfect spot for reactive dogs looking to explore off leash without worrying about other dogs or people on the trails. Took my two dogs and they had a blast. It was our first SniffSpot experience and the property was absolutely beautiful! Two very happy and worn out pups ♥️ we’ll be booking again for sure!!Stephanie W.

55This spot is basically like renting your own state park. Super cool! I was impressed by the variety of the trails and how much there was to explore. I also really appreciated the clear signage and all the maps. One of the trails does run quite close to the road, but there are signs labeling that part, so I was able to leash my dogs there to be extra safe. And there are plenty of other trails farther away from the road, too, if you'd rather avoid that area. Brianna A.

FAQ about our Chapel Hill 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.
