55We had a great time. Wish it was closer so we could go more often. In regards to a recent review, the location was very clean, no other dog droppings. Obviously there were some other animal droppings as it’s on 28 acres… Host was very responsive. Thank you again!Maury X.

55My dogs had lots of fun sniffing and running around! I didn’t even take pictures because we were just so busy running around and exploring. We are looking forward to going back. Host even offered to have us drop our poop bag in her garage so that we didn’t have to drive with it.Sarah T.

55Lovely property, plenty of space and gorgeous views. Owner is upfront about the fact that deer roam and leave droppings here and there, but this is open fields, not a lawn, so no issue there. It's not so bad that it's a problem, just bring moist towelettes to wipe your dog's paws should he step on something. We had a lot of fun playing and watching the horses. Owner is lovely and very welcoming. Definitely recommend.Manuela K.

55We had such a great time! I’m working on teaching my pup that water isn’t as scary as she thinks it is, so the creek was great for that. Awesome host and spot. Allison D.

55What a wonderful time for my 11 year old pit bull. Slow and steady smelling the smells down to the creek and back. He was loving being off leash and getting to stroll in the sun. We will be back 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰Nicole L.

55A nice, open space where my Dane was comfortable exploring and galloping. He especially enjoyed the hilly terrain, the creek, and a chance to see some horses up close.J. Peter R.

55Lenoure’s instructions were perfectly clear and spot on! We had a fantastic time running around and in the creek with our dog. Lenoure was so communicative and we’ll definitely take advantage of the extras next time.
While the following didn’t bother us, it may bother others: there were gunshots audible from the creek. Dogs with noise phobias may be affected. There was also some barbed wire to the far right when you come down the hill towards the creek. Again, this didn’t give us any issue, but if your dog is off leash just keep an eye out! Overall, this place was a gorgeous respite from busy northern Virginia and my husband, dog and I will definitely be back!!Nina R.

55My dog had a blast during our visit! It’s a quiet and peaceful spot with open space and a beautiful creek. My dog is reactive, so I’m very picky about Sniffspots. We were excited to find a place without triggers, where he can just be a carefree dog. The host is very kind and helpful, too. We’ll definitely be going back!Jessica H.

55Our pups loved this wonderfully scenic and scent filled area. The highlight had to be chasing sticks in the creek. We will definitely return again and again. Kara G.

55My husband and I have been bringing our dog to the spot for about two months now, and have had an excellent experience every time! There is a lot to explore in the field and the woods and the stream, so we like to book a full three hours and then our dog is exhausted for three days afterwards 🤣 a beautiful experience for him and us. One unexpected benefit is some of the adjacent properties have cows (safely behind a fence and across the stream) so our dog is getting used to seeing and hearing them! In the city he is reactive to new things, but I think because this is a peaceful environment, it has been easy for him to stay relaxed :) Orli M.

55This is an absolutely beautiful property with a wonderful creek our dog had a blast swimming in. It was so nice to get out of town and spend some time on this beautiful land. Lenoure was super helpful in making sure we knew what to expect, where to go, etc. Highly recommend! Blair C.

55This is a GREAT experience for dogs! Especially if your dogs are good off leash. Bring bug spray and clothes to navigate paths with overgrowth. (And carry flip flops or anything you might want for the creek.). I really appreciated the entrance behind the house, no worries of running into other people or dogs. Christine S.

55Great spot for well behaved off leash dogs. The creek was perfect for the dogs to run through and swim in. Definitely recommend wearing pants and hiking shoes/boots as the walk to the creek is woody and a bit overgrown. Dogs loved it, will be back! Stephanie J.

FAQ about our Lovettsville 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?

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.
