55My dog loved this spot!! It was our first Sniffspot experience, and it was definitely a great one!! So many spots to sniff and explore. I loved the full and partial fence options so I could let my dog run completely free and on his long line (as we are still working on recall)! The bugs weren’t too bad, but it’s beautiful land, not much you can do when you’re out in nature. Wonderful host, wonderful spot! Thanks so much!Taylor G.

55Wonderful location with very gracious hosts. They have a great setup to make it an easy worry free play session. Their dogs were in the house and barked but were not obnoxious or a distraction.Eric W.

55Amazing Sniff Spot! Backs up to a beautiful natural area, and my dog who’s an avid squirrel and bird lover is endlessly entertained. Plenty of space for his zoomies! He’s an escape artist, but any areas in the fence with holes have materials to cover them up so I have had no issues with him here. Hard to believe this spots in town- it’s a hidden gem. Keara L.

FAQ about our Gainesville 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.
