55Such a lovely spot! My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. This would be a great photography spot for your dog. It is not fully fenced so keep this in mind. Lots of sniffs and beautiful trees. There’s a bit of a trail through the forest. It was so fun to enjoy a Christmas tree farm off leash :) Mary H.

55The host was very helpful. It was great to wander around the fields, walk the path through the trees and rest by the barn for a water break. My dogs loved sniffing around and got some great exercise. We will be back. natalie r.

55This is a wonderful property with clearly laid out trails. We had an amazing time, but more importantly our dogs were able to explore and play and enjoy themselves thoroughly. Emily M.

55This spot is fantastic!!! Beautiful place, extremely well maintained, signs everywhere indicating where to park and the main trails. Martin truly went above and beyond by providing a paper map too which was amazing. A garbage can at the entrance/exit which is the first time I’ve seen that at a Sniffspot.
This might just be my favorite spot so far!Georgia W.

55Great trail network, came on a rainy winter day so I can imagine how beautiful it is in the summer. Martin was super welcoming and provided a helpful map illustrating the property. It took 1 hour to cover the outer perimeter, and it would probably take over 2 hours to cover the entire network but we didn’t get that far, next time though! The trails are well maintained for sure, and my dog loved swimming and zooming through the forest and brush. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends :)Amanda W.

55Great first visit at this fantastic spot. The trails are clearly marked and very well maintained with lots of options for different routes for you and your pup. Martin was a great host, he provided us with a map of the trails on arrival and let us know which areas to avoid with all the rain lately. Even with the wet weather our dog had an awesome time!

FAQ about our Guelph 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.
