55Stellar spot as always! We actually booked it today as neutral ground to introduce my fear reactive dog to some friends dogs who came to town. It was a great spot to do neutral walks and help them build confidence around each other. Even though it was a warm day there was sufficient shade and the pond was a fun splash zone for our dogs.

55This was a lovely short, shaded trail (it does get a bit steep, but not for long) to a nice grassy area with a view of the horses in pasture. There were chuck it balls and water bowl available which was wonderful because I forgot Hadlee’s frisbee in the car. She had a wonderful time. The hosts maintain a beautiful property and have good signage visible throughout.Amber K.

55We had an amazing experience! Everything was very well marked and easy to follow. The trail was well maintained and our dogs loved the grassy area to run and play in. So much so that one of them came back with green on their head from rolling around so much! Can’t wait to come back. Bre W.

55It was our first time, place was easy to find, well marked, easy parking area. We also had our 2 year old so we (slowly) wandered the main trail and a bit of the equestrian trail. My dogs had a great time, swam in the pond near the field and explored. It was nice most of the place is shaded on a hot day!
Quite a few mosquitoes because of the water, but the host graciously placed bug spray around the property! Also a nice touch to have towels for those who may have forgotten their own.
We will be back for sure!Ashley S.

55There is a lovely trail up to the Zoomie area. I took my dogs on the Forbidden Trail which is public land. It’s also a lovely trail but not private! I got confused about the boundary but Tim responded quickly and set me straight!!🤩 Emily H.

55Great space thoughtfully designed for all types of dog needs. One of our dogs is anxious/fearful of other dogs and strangers, having postings where the public land started and that we may see other people was super helpful Kristine M.

55Another fabulous visit to Black Pond, as always! Our retriever, Juno, loves doing water retrieves in the pond. I made her pause her swimming long enough to take a photo in front of the bright red rhodie bush near the pond. We would visit more often if it was just a bit closer to our home. Margaret T.

FAQ about our Rathdrum 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.
