55This was our first sniff spot and it was so incredibly nice! The creek was a refreshing dip for the girls and there is ample room for zoomies. Joseph was also super nice and answers quickly if you have any questions! Directions are to the point. The woods are really cozy this time of year. 🤗 Happy sniffing!Brittany D.

55We had a great time! We went a few days after some rain so there was still some mud and flooding that kept us from exploring some areas but all in all it was lovely and my girls had fun. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area again!Christine M.

55A great piece of groomed land with fallen trees, puddles and space to run and leap over things . The current was a little fast for the dogs today but look
forward to revisiting in dryer weather so the dogs and get a good swim. Even had a campfire set up for our use . Thank you! Linda L.

55Lovely, quiet spot. Our timing was a bit off and Joseph was very understanding, which we appreciated. The access details were helpful and it was helpful to see signs pointing the way to the creek.
My retriever had a blast ‘rescuing’ sticks from the water and pretending he had any chance of catching a wild rabbit on the trail. We didn’t explore the property much beyond the creek or the parking area, but not because of the mud - it was perfectly walkable. Loved the spot and hope to return soon! Thanks Joseph!Dasha K.

55My old girl is slowing down and was diagnosed with cancer. My family wanted to take her out to a safe area where she could swim and walk. That’s exactly what she did. After the day was over, she couldn’t contain her happiness. Salma V.

55We brought our two dogs here, and we all had a blast!! The stream is so clean (be careful it's slippery) and our dog was running around like a mad man having the best day ever!!!! Pricing was amazing as well. Got to run around a bit with our non water dog which was amazing. Fun for everyone!! Elizabeth M.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was a great one! The host was super communicative and the spot was excellent. Exactly as described and pictured. As other reviews have said, it is muddy so make sure you plan for that, but it’s so much fun. Our dog had a BLAST! We’ll definitely be back. Lauren R.

55We had a great time. The dogs loved the stream and there was plenty of room to run and explore. It rained a bit, but under the cover of the trees we hardly felt it. The stream is just a short from the parking area, so we plan to bring chairs and refreshments for the hoomans next time. It does get muddy if it had rained and of course by the stream, but nothing wearing an older pair of shoes can't take care of. Heather P.

55This was an excellent spot for our two large pitty pups. Easy to find right off the exit from 75. Clear instructions. Large water feature that wore the dogs out. Water clear & running so no concerns about stagnant water or unseen items. Although you can’t see where properly ends or fence - no concerns for our dogs who tend to stay within sight. Def will be back & highly recommend. August S.

55A little hard to find, I went past it at first because it looks like a right of way. The rope across the driveway had an orange triangle. My pups had a fantastic time and slept the whole way home! Lots of sniffs and plenty of space for zoomies! Make sure you bring a towel in your car and wear shoes you can get dirty. Megan N.

55Beautiful spot, super clear directions to the site and to the creek, which was clear and clean and lovely. One caveat: this is maybe not the spot if your dog doesn't have good recall. I had to slide down the muddy steep bank to retrieve my dog, who was having the time of his life and had sudden-onset deafness. And maybe bring doggie life preservers to be super safe: some spots are deep. Sherri C.

FAQ about our Stockbridge 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. 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.
