55Such a great hike! We did about 2 miles in an hour and 20min. Gus had so much fun and especially loved cooling off in the stream on the way up and back. The trail was well marked, wide and not terribly muddy. Will definitely come back and 10/10 recommend! Emily R.

55We had an excellent time on this trail! Very quiet and beautiful space with a steep incline which was an awesome workout for both people and dogs. There’s a stream directly beside the trail we chose to walk so the dogs could dip in and cool off continuously. We will be back!!Maggie C.

55We always have a great time! Our dog loves splashing in the brook along the trail. It was also nice and private so he could explore safely. The trail is well marked and separated from the dog park spot by hedges. Meghan L.

55Great hiking trail for my dog and I. Quiet enough he could go off leash for a while. My first Sniffspot adventure but I am sure not my last. The address was not easy to find as there was no road sign and parking was a little confusing when we did arrive. But all in all a good hike. Joanne M.

55PERFECT trail for exercising my dogs (and myself) both mentally and physically. My pups LOVED all the smells of the woods, the brook to cool off in, and just being able to run. I'm so grateful people are willing to share their properties with us. This property, in particular, was gorgeous. Cristy M.

55This was a great hike for me and my dog! Obi has reactivity towards dogs and people, so we loved being able to explore this hike together stress free and off leash. He had so much fun and there were many streams to cool off in!Georgia Y.

55Great workout up the trail! Our dogs loved it, had a great time sniffing all the smells and exploring. We brought our 4 month old pup too. 🐶 Make sure to have bug spray - it's surely buggy when the sun is about to set ~ Dawn T.

55A beautiful and long trail for hiking with your pooch—very steep, though! You will get a work out and need to watch out for slippery wet leaves on the descent at this time of year. Instructions for parking, etc all straight forward. We will return!Anne C.

55Dog Narnia. Pooches in Wonderland. I grew up just down the road and have spent so much time hiking around these mountains (with and without dogs) but Brook Run has something really special. I swear the dogs were smiling the whole time! I will definitely be back to enjoy the magic of this spot.Liz R.

55Incredible spot! We were traveling through the area on our way to celebrate Christmas with family in NY when we stopped here to get some fresh air and exercise. The spot was absolutely beautiful and the steep climb was the perfect workout for my high energy dog who gets cooped up in the car. Super convenient, right off the main road, and the trail was easy to fine. It was a beautiful little Christmas Eve morning hike. I can’t wait to come back with more time. Thank you! Rachel S.

55I always love our visits here! This was my first winter visit and it was actually preferable over when it’s muddy, but no shade to the trail it was just easier on my legs to walk on snow than mud! My dog LOVES it either way 😂Rebecca M.

55We LOVE this trail! This is our 3rd time visiting-- I have a well trained but very sensitive and reactive dog who does not handle off leash dogs charging him well. This is the perfect place for us to genuinely enjoy unmuzzled off leash freedom, safely practice recall, and just be out and about without needing to be hyper-vigilant about our surroundings.
The trail was easy to get to, and the decently steep terrain is a good workout for both of us! Loved having the brook for a water source for the pup (and a cool off in the summer). We can't wait to come back again soon :)

55My dog had an absolute blast! We spent about 1.5 hrs on the trail and felt like we didn’t even get close to completing it. Gorgeous landscape and overall a great time. If you’re going in winter like we did, I’d recommend some snowshoes or something with good grip. Paula S.

FAQ about our Waterbury Village Historic District dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Waterbury Village Historic District?
There are 15 dog fields in the Waterbury Village Historic District area. The most popular dog field is Brook Run Dog Trail. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Waterbury Village Historic District area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is Brook Run Dog Trail. The most expensive dog field is Brook Run Dog Trail. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
