55Increíble experience! A gorgeous property with tons of space to splash, run and hike around. There were maps and guides provided and it was an epic adventure for my pup (and myself haha).
The host was very kind, when we got turned around she answered immediately so we were not lost for long.
Can’t wait to go back. Courtenay J.

55This place was incredible! 10/10 experience. I have tried a lot of different sniff spots and this one by far was the most well thought out and intentional. The trails were clear and maintained. Shaded enough to be able to be out on a 90° day. No fence wasn’t a problem, but my dog does a decent job staying in trail. We didn’t encounter and other people or animals, other then a very cool owl I spotted on one of the trails! The hammock and snacked throughout the property were really thoughtful touches. I will definitely be back! Erin S.

5510/10!!! Next time I’ll bring a taller friend with me to walk the trails first though cause of spider webs 😂 I learned after the first couple webs straight to the face to start waving ahead of me along the trails. The open areas were very nice and well maintained. Perfect spot for reactive dogs looking to explore off leash without worrying about other dogs or people on the trails. Took my two dogs and they had a blast. It was our first SniffSpot experience and the property was absolutely beautiful! Two very happy and worn out pups ♥️ we’ll be booking again for sure!!Stephanie W.

55This spot is basically like renting your own state park. Super cool! I was impressed by the variety of the trails and how much there was to explore. I also really appreciated the clear signage and all the maps. One of the trails does run quite close to the road, but there are signs labeling that part, so I was able to leash my dogs there to be extra safe. And there are plenty of other trails farther away from the road, too, if you'd rather avoid that area. Brianna A.

55We had an absolutely wonderful visit. Darcy was so happy to be able to explore the woods and have space to be a dog without being tethered to us. She is great about staying close but you could tell how happy she was to have the freedom to go where she wanted. I loved having the maps throughout the trails, it really made it easy it navigate everything. We can't wait to come back! Savannah T.

55Hey all! This is an incredible property that is perfect for dogs that need freedon to run. There were many delightful surprises throughout the trails and really enjoyed my time here. The only thing I would suggest to anyone coming is to Bring Water! The creeks were dry when I went. It is advertised as having creeks so I decided not to carry water.(Thankful the dollar general was only 10min away) My mistake... maybe im not from around here but I thought there would be running creeks as described. Im sure there is after a good rain and its also been a dry summer so it makes sense... other than that.. cant wait to come back!Joshua M.

55We had an absolute BLAST at Plentiful Hill! With gorgeous, picture perfect scenery, accessible paths and acres and acres for the doggos to romp, we will absolutely be back! We rented the spot for 2 hours but I think we will do 3 or 4 next time! The Mossy Trail was our favorite of the ones we explored. You can tell the owners love to share their beautiful property - there’s an outhouse and multiple boxes with little snacks for people to enjoy. We have nothing but praise for this spot! Delaney W.

FAQ about our Chapel Hill 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Chapel Hill area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Bitter Lake. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Bitter Lake. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
