55Nice walking paths! A few spots my puppy tried to run out but there weren’t many distractions so it was a good chance to practice his recall and he did fine!Hanna T.

55We had such a great time! The fenced in area was great for our pup to run around and the trail was fabulous. We did hear dogs barking for the first bit of out time slot, which wasn’t issue for our dog who doesn’t hear so well, but worth noting. It was nice that there was a garbage can to throw away our poop bags in as well! We will most definitely be back!Bridget K.

55This is a nice and peaceful Sniffspot with fields, rolling hills, and small trees. There is a smaller fenced-in area for training where there was also a handy water dish. It would be an excellent place to view the sunset, but I was a bit early! Next time.Roxy A.

55Continues to be our favorite place to run without worrying about other dogs. The owners dogs are in kennels and do bark quite a bit, but my dogs have learned to ignore them or he gives us a heads up and we don’t walk where they are located. Chris O.

55Great place, we always love going. The fenced area is a great addition. Sounds like there might be some Sandhill cranes nesting in one of the fields, too? Couldn’t see them but heard them today! Samantha K.

55What a wonderful spot! The fenced in area was plenty big enough to throw some balls for our boy. The trail was well maintained. The driveway was blocked due to it being muddy, but it was a short, easy walk to the main areas! We will absolutely be back!Bobby M.

55Such a great spot with wide open trails and views of the whole property from many of the slow sloping hills. Easy to find and park. The little fenced space is a great spot for dogs to begin to explore while you get everything ready for your walk. Thank you for providing this space for our community! Heather M.

55After tragedy at an EC public dog park in April, I am so grateful for this private space for my dogs. Safe, mostly secure, and just 15 acres of space. Hopefully it dries out soon so the trails can be mowed (lots of tall weeds this time), but overall my dogs LOVE it! Chris O.

55We come here fairly often and the pups always have a nice time. Recently we added two more dogs to our pack. This place is just the right size to get them all the exercise they could ever need but big enough for the bigger dogs to be thoroughly worn out after an hour.
It’s easy to find and always clean. I really appreciate the cooler of water and smaller fenced in space for a break too.Karen M.

55The fenced in area was plenty of room for my bulldog to run around in to let off some steam before taking a winding stroll. Trails are well kept.Alicia L.

FAQ about our Eau Claire 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 Eau Claire?
There are 6 dog hiking trails in the Eau Claire area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Wheaton Wild. 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.
