55Lovely green space for fetch. Not fenced in but plenty far away from the road/other properties that it wasn’t an issue for us. The dogs enjoyed a romp around the creek and looking at chickens. Loved that there was water for the dogs and a hose to spray them off before we left. We’d love to visit again!Megan P.

55What a great location to escape coronavirus restrictions in the city! It’s a beautiful mixture of woods, lawn, and pond. Our dog loved running without a leash on vast open fields. Our family enjoyed having space to spread out without worry of virus. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. An added bonus is that it’s a gorgeous drive from Columbus. It was a delightful respite after weeks sheltering in place!Millie A.

55We had a blast at this gorgeous property! We had a lovely morning hiking through the woods, wading in the pond, and playing fetch in the huge yard. It truly felt like a little getaway. There were a few ducks at the pond that appeared to be domestic. Not an issue for our dog but may be good for others to know. Ellen H.

There were quite a few thorn bushes to watch out for and some mud, but it is the woods! We had a great time :)Ashton H.

FAQ about our Johnstown 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 Johnstown?
There are 4 dog hiking trails in the Johnstown area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Peerless Paws. 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.
