55We always have such a blast at Spring Acres! So much room for the pups to run, places for them to sniff and explore, opportunities to splash and swim, and beauty everywhere you turn. The dogs leave exhausted, and I leave feeling blessed to have visited this serene and magical place.Aubbie B.

55We had a lovely time today. This spot is magical with its stream, trails, bridges, and hand-painted signs. Cinnamon loved exploring, swimming in the river, and visiting with the farm animals at the fence. The hosts have done an amazing job making this a peaceful, interesting, and delightful spot for dogs and their people. Always a great visit. Ann J.

55This sniffspot is truly a magical place! Our pup had so much fun exploring the many trails and playing in the creek. The owners were both very friendly and gave us a little tour and a map before we explored their beautiful property. We will surely be back to explore even more. So thankful to find this spot!

55Incredible. The property designated for the sniffspot is gorgeous. Lots of trails which are very well marked (not to mention John provided a very detailed map when we got there), a bubbling creek and a beautiful little cabin too. The animals were so friendly, they came up to the fence and Zi was able to meet her first goat and turkey! So much fun, will definitely come back. Thank you so much for sharing!!Erin P.

55Our favorite sniffspot of all time!! John is extremely kind and so very helpful. Has met us every time and made sure we were all set. The first time he walked up with us and made sure we had a lay of the land. Although it says it’s not completely fenced, I feel extremely comfortable bringing both my dogs as there is a gate separating the farm animals and house from the actual sniffspot. There are tons of bridges and trails with signage. My dogs enjoyed the creeks. There are bunnies and goats but as long as the dogs stay leashed until the sniffspot gate everything will be fine. We will definitely be back! Mandie J.

55This was my first SniffSpot adventure and it was amazing. Enough trails and areas for my dog to freely explore. Secluded for privacy. Well maintained. John was a gracious host, even offering a towel for my wet dog. So sorry I neglected to take one. I look forward to more visits there. Carla S.

FAQ about our Algona 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.

Dog hiking trails in the Algona area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Best Small Yard in Seattle!. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Best Small Yard in Seattle!.
