55Luna LOVED this Sniffspot. We decided to not bring Duque as he is small and senior, but if you have a German Shepherd or any working breed, this is the spot! We will be back!!!Maziel H.

55It was gorgeous! Bring some bug spray and be prepared to have a smelly ride home if your pup goes in the lake, but lovely and so worth it. We did get a bit turned around trying to get to the end of the orange trail, but found it in time to get nice a muddy. Brittany M.

55This is a great spot and both my dogs loved it. Once they got a sniff of the water, they were off like a rocket. The trails were marked with orange flags so easy to find. I just need to pay more attention to where I came from as I got a bit mixed up. I did see a cat but was able to get my dogs in the car before they realized it was close by. The owner was available and answered all my questions. Sandy M.

55Beautiful spot! We took the orange trail, and then walked the path along the lake. Really appreciated how well marked the trails are. Got a bit stuck in the mud attempting to access the lake, but I think we must have picked the wrong spot for that. Will be back for sure! Brettany J.

55Beautiful place to go with my reactive German Shepherd dog. Plenty of room to run. We couldn't go to the lake because it was super muddy and we couldn't walk because we sank. Thank you for sharing your place ☺️Noelia S.

55Great location and beautifully groomed trails. Good directions both to the property and with respect to accessing the trails and the lake. Sorry to see the "for sale" sign on the property, but if anyone is looking for a beautiful spot close to the city...Robbi B.

55Such a beautiful place to explore. Sad that there’s only a couple weeks left to enjoy it! Dan is very responsive and helpful via messages. I recommend wearing long pants, long sleeves, and a hat as it is tick season, and I saw one crawling on my dog by the lake and brushed it off. They can be super tiny and not always visible to the human eye, so have a read up on tick prevention & do checks on yourself & dog for a few days afterwards. We saw a deer the first time out! The lake is full of goose poop, so plan to give your dog a bath afterwards! Such a beautiful property, however. I don’t know that my reactive dog would ever have had an opportunity to go to the beach like that without the hosts sharing their property. A big thank you to them!Joss M.

FAQ about our Sherwood Park 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 Sherwood Park?
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?
