Lovely place for a couple of city dogs to get their fix of country living :) plenty of room for them to stretch their legs & roam to their hearts’ content. Host was kind & easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend & will return!

My dogs and I really enjoyed it! Stephanie was very kind and helpful. We plan on going back for another visit soon!

April 2023

Great place to let the pups explore! It is in close proximity to a main road so just be mindful of that if your dog’s recall is not 100%. My dogs were able to be run around there no problem, just keep that in mind! We saw no other people or animals while there so that was awesome, and I even had questions as we arrived and they were answered almost immediately so that we could get the most out of our visit!

Fun as always! Recent bush hog made the trail enjoyable. The creek had cold water from the recent rains, the dogs appreciated the drink. Look forward till next time.

November 2023

We did our first sniffspot today. It was great and the dogs loved it. 33 acres of possibilities with a pond they got to swim in, woods to trudge through, and grassy paths to run. Reserved the spot for two hours and for the entire time they were living their best life exploring. We will definitely be going back to explore more as we touched like 2% of it after going through for 2 hours.

The main opening is easy with the sniff spot logo - dogs must obey as property is close to highway

I loved how the host had the signs out by the road so I knew exactly where to turn. Stephanie was an excellent and a very responsive host. My dogs and I really enjoyed visiting the property!

Excellent spot! Nice walking trails and good open areas for my lab that loves to chase a tennis ball. I went not long after some rain and was glad I had a 4x4 vehicle and some duck boots, as there were a few muddy spots in the parking area.

Really enjoyed this spot. The host is friendly and gives clear instructions, the trails are great. Had lots of fun on a dreary day (path wasn’t muddy but there were puddles to sip from) and left right before it really came down. Chased a few deer!

FAQ about our Columbia 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 Columbia?

There are 13 dog hiking trails in the Columbia area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Kaleidoscope Farm. 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.

How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?

Dog hiking trails in the Columbia area range from $5.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is BARNES 17 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Pelion. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Meghan's 9 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Elgin. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
