55This placed transformed my dog, he swam for the first time after he slipped in to the water, funny expression. His swim instinct kicked in, fun to watch. He got out and rolled in the dirt then ran around with a big dog smile. If your dog discovers water, for the first time, stay calm they will figure it out. I would recommend slip on shoes and shorts in case you need to go in to help your pet…. Remember, stay calm.
He, and his pal Copper, sniffed out ever inch of 5 acres. We stayed for an hour and they were wore out. The host is awesome, towels and hose are provided to clean up before heading home.

55Nice large area for the pup to run around and play in the water! There were a few people as the host mentioned but they were respectful of our space. The hose provided was super helpful. Great experience overall!Lauren T.

55My wife and I enjoy this so much we go at least once and at times twice a week with our labradors Gus and Gwen. I think it's their favorite place to be. Miles away they know where we are going and can barley contain the barking and excitement. It is very safe and is fenced. Mark L.

55What a hidden gem! My dog wasn’t sure about the pond at first but once she got in she had the time of her life! So many zoomies!! We will definitely be back. Taylor M.

55This sniffspot is great - it has a pond that the dogs can get into and the trail around the pond is a great walk with the dogs. It's clean and quiet and fully fenced. We'll definitely go back. Sara G.

55Beautiful and serene pond! We loved walking around with our pup and he even took a little swim! Very clean. You can hear roosters and dogs but I actually liked that because it was a great learning opportunity for him. Perfect place for training.Sabrina R.

55My girl had so much fun. We saw a couple of people on the property but they kept to themselves. If your pup is overly friendly and goes up to people just be aware some people might fish off the dock! We did a few laps around the pond since shes not too sure about going into the water yet but we will definately be back! Such a beautiful property.Alexis L.

55My first Sniffspot and the loveliest place I’ve been in a long time! Super Serene. Fully fenced, big lake on 5 private acres. My two cattle dogs had a BLAST running and swimming in the lake. Plenty of shade, no other dogs. One million out of ten reccomend and will definitely be back soon! Kayla W.

55We loved this spot and had so much fun! There were other people and bikers there while we were there, so we couldn’t fully let our dog free with no worries. But overall it was a good time :) Caroline R.

55I’ve never seen our dogs so upset to leave a sniffspot! They absolutely loved swimming in the pond and walking around with all the different smells. The sniffspot was easy to find and the host was very attentive and helpful. The fence is automatic so it will close on its own, no need to push it closed. I recommend bringing towels because the pups are definitely going to want to swim!Monica F.

55Our 3 dogs loved all the places to explore around the pond and had a great time. We have one dog who is really nosy about everything and found a garage/workspace on the property where there was a few things I was worried about her getting into but it turned out ok. Just make sure you’re with your pup, if they’re fast they can get to the other side of the pond pretty quick. John S.

55The dogs had SO much fun!! David, the host, was super accommodating and responded to my questions quickly before we arrived. The property was great, lots of space to run and explore, plus interesting sheds, garages, and corners that one of my dogs absolutely loved rummaging around in (sorry about that). The fence is truly secure and I was able to relax and let the dummies run around like maniacs, something I rarely feel comfortable doing.
There were other dogs on the property when we visited, contained inside a fenced boarding kennel. There’s also some visibility between the kennel and the sniffspot area, so my dogs and the boarded dogs could see each other. For whatever reason, my selectively reactive dogs didn’t seem too bothered by the boarded dogs, but I could see this being an issue for others.
All in all, a great time. We will absolutely be back!Angelica G.

555 Star from our 3 dogs. They had a great time. We appreciate the hose to spray them off before we left. I had texted Dave when I booked the spot and kindly ask that he keep his dog inside while we were there. I also checked to make sure there were no visiting dogs in the AirBnB. We'll be back.Madeleine L.

55This place is the bomb. My dog had such a fun time and we will definitely be back. I was worried at first she would be bored because we don’t have another dog but the owner was so kind and let two of his dogs out to play with mine. The dogs were so nice and kept mine entertained for 2 hours. Beautiful yard with a lake and tons of hammocks to lounge around inCarmen W.

FAQ about our Bonita 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.

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.
