55We did not know what to expect coming here because there were lots of pictures of happy pups but not many of structure of the space/how much time you need here-so hoping this review is helpful for those like me trying to get extra details. Once you drive into the space and park by a tree (you have to get out the car to open the gate) and get to park by shade, you do a small hike to the Grove hike. You would need half an hour to do the hike back and forth but there is also a smaller looping trail to the right and dead ends. We reserved an hour and a half just in case. We explored the trail to the right but at one point went higher and I guess went out the loop (host mentioned a loop) so suggesting an extra sign to not go too high up…!Overall, the grove trail was cute- had enough shade on this hot day and we say an hour is enough- but if you would like extra time to let the pups/your pet rest more is fine too. Would recommend! Sandra V.

55We were visiting from Tucson, AZ! This place is AMAZING! We had 20 acres to ourselves! My furbaby had a blast! So much to sniff! We found a relaxing spot to rest and the breeze was perfect! We can't thank Alma and David enough! Directions are super easy to follow! We will definitely be coming for another visit! Thank you for making this trip memorable for our Brunno! Elena G.

55The private stream add-on is back! The new trail has some parts that are very steep and slippery, wear good shoes and take it slow. It can take a good 20-30 min each way depending on your pace to reach the stream so book your visit with that in mind. There is very little to no cell reception but Alma is very easy to communicate with and has very detailed instructions. Fernando R.

55This was our first SniffSpot booking and couldn't be happier. David and Alma's land was amazing. Our little Piper was just in heaven. There were clear directions on how to find everything, Alma was very responsive and very detailed in all her directions. We booked two hours and just had the best time playing in the little river that flows through their land and then took a leisurely walk back to our car through the avocado groves. It was so perfect. There were swings and benches and it was just wonderfully clean. We were sad we didn't pack a picnic or bring some books. It was a great place to relax. Piper was filthy from rolling around in all the dirt, but we loved it for her (she never gets to run around free)! We will absolutely book again!
Note: to get to the little river is very steep, we loved it, because we like to hike and love a workout for the pup, but others may want to ensure you and your pups are able. Rebecca M.

55Choice Avocados was an amazing afternoon for my pup! We took a 25 minute or so walk to the creek, hung out by the creek for a bit then walked back. David and Alma's instructions were clear and thorough. I had missed a message on Sniffspot prior to the booking (my user error), so I was a bit late once it was all sorted, but Alma was wonderfully kind and flexible with my timing. The property was just beautiful and worth the long drive for us to get there. We can't wait to go back! Rebecca M.

55Beautiful property! Alma was kind enough to allow me to bring on a photographer to get holiday pictures. We stayed for an hour and half (booked for two but it was a warmer day) and we had plenty of time to still go down to the creek after snagging a few pictures. The dogs absolutely loved it and are definitely tired. Was reasonably easy to find! We will be back! Kayla M.

55Our family had a great time exploring the beautiful property which was mostly shaded thanks to the avocado groves. The creek was our favorite part. The dogs loved soaking their paws in the cold stream. Beware the paths are quite steep at times which made me thankful the dogs were able to be off leash or I would have for sure eaten dirt! Our 6 year old walked to the creek and back without a single complaint despite all the incline which is saying something. You won’t be disappointed in this dog heaven!Katie L.

55The best Sniffspot we‘ve been to yet! This was the first time our pups were able to roam around off leash with this much space. So grateful to the hosts for renting out their space for the dogs!
The trail got quite steep and Sandy at some points and we weren‘t wearing the proper shoewear but we still had an amazing time! The hosts were also very helpful in providing maps and checking up on us to make sure we got to our car safely! This place was an hour drive from us but we can’t wait to come back Jenna P.

55Lovey place to take your pets! Very private, and they have a beautiful stream with a picnic table and swing nearby to relax. It was great to have my puppy off the leash and be able to sniff everywhere she wanted. She loved it, and slept great on the way back home. Highly recommend!! Also, there are a few steep hills here with loose dirt and gravel, so wear hiking boots or some sneakers with good grip. Jenae D.

FAQ about our Fallbrook 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.

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.
