55Gorgeous spot, and fully ready for your pup to play with toys, balls and lots of space. If your dog likes to swim, the pond is there, and the hosts kindly supply doggy life jackets and towels. A very relaxing place to visit for me, and lots of room for my guy to sniff and play. Highly recommend!Kelly T.

55Beautiful spot. They've taken good care with toys, seating, water, etc. There is a pond. They have even left towels for dogs who like to swim. Anne M.

55First time off leash and my dogs were perfect. This spot gave me a chance to trust them, and they met my expectations. I'm not sure how far the property extends, but we didn't come close to covering 15 acres. My older Rottweiler is just not interested in walking far. My Doberman turned into a water dog, taking me by surprise. We need baths that I didn't expect, but that's okay 😄 He was able to chase down many long throws and then plunge in for quick dips. We really enjoyed this space. I appreciate the guest setup with water, toys, towels, garbage. We will be back. Shannon R.

55So much room to run. Dogs loved the water and the big areas to run and chase each other. Logs to climb on, big open spaces to run, water to swim and walk around in. Appreciate the water toys and the balls. Plenty of dog waste areas. This is a great space! Kitten G.

55This is an amazing place! It is perfectly set up, secluded and has everything for pups including a pond, creek, little trails, beautiful trees, large fields, water stations, toys, places to throw away poop, shade and many areas to sit and relax. We had the absolute best time and can not wait to go back. We are so grateful to the kind owners of this fantastic property to share it.Mindy C.

55This is my new favorite SniffSpot (and we go to a lot!) The first perk is that you can pull up and just let your dogs out to play- no need to leash. The pond was so fun with dragonflies for my dog to chase after, she was in hot pursuit and totally fascinated. Plus even though it’s unfenced, it’s down in a valley so it’s a long way to the road and feels private. So many personal touches like toys, water stations, poo receptacles and scoopers, a hammock for the humans, dog life jackets, benches and clear signage. My dogs had a blast and are so tired after the swimming. Highly recommend! Meredith N.

55Such a beautiful oasis! Excellent signage, toys and seating options, and even a hammock! I also agree with other reviewers—this spot is far enough from the house and road to feel completely safe unfenced. The pond is also such a great spot to relax by! My dogs had a blast and we will definitely be back. Lea H.

55Great location! Close proximity to Oregon City. Very well marked with clear signage. Well stocked with dog toys, scoopers and bags, even doggie life vests and towels for the pond. Water stations are also available. Beautiful area that we enjoyed wondering. We came home with a very tired puppy! Will definitely be back!Kara J.

55Drove 45 minutes in my gas guzzling 4runner with 3 large screaming dogs to spend an hour in the rain here. I absolutely will be doing it again. The property was well managed, the water was lovely, toys, towels, and multiple "poop depots" with poop bags were available. There was seating in various areas to relax while the dogs had a blast. Easily my favorite sniff spot currently, I can't wait to come on a nice day and take a dip with the dogs.Christian D.

55Wonderful spot! I have a pod of 3 but 2 have to rotated due to big feelings, you park right near the pond which is perfect for easy rotation of dogs. Very secluded, tried to see if the pups wanted to explore but they were not interested in leaving the pond! Lots of toys, well kept and easy to find. Bellah B.

55This place was such a fun spot for my dog. Although it is unfenced, it was far enough away from the house and any road that I felt comfortable having him off leash. Really thoughtful property, having lifejackets, toys, water stations etc. My dog loved it! I will say there is a gravel road, that is a bit steep when driving back up and I kept skidding out driving up it without having 4 wheel drive and almost didnt make it up the hill. Just a word of caution for future people.Valoree S.

FAQ about our Aurora 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 Aurora?
There are 16 dog hiking trails in the Aurora area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Tail Waggers. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.
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.
