55Although it was raining, the pups and adults had a great time at Deedra’s spot! There was lots of sniffing along the trail, a visit to the chickens, and of course fun times spent frolicking in the creek! Deedra was very accommodating when the weather didn’t cooperate! I only wish I lived around here so we could come back! Karen P.

55What an awesome spot with trails and a creek! I appreciated the clear instructions from the host on how to access the Sniffspot. The trails way back in the woods aren’t as clearly marked so I did some guessing but it wasn’t too hard to figure out. My dog absolutely loved the creek and I got some nice photo opps! I will definitely be back!Kristen K.

55The spot was great! When we first go there the neighbors dogs barked, but they stopped pretty quickly. The trail was fun, and my pup had a great time. Amanda G.

55Parking was easy and I was lucky enough to not see the neighbor’s dog like some other reviews have mentioned. We accidently stumbled upon the chicken coop, and it is a beautiful one (I didn’t get close because dogs haha). Once I was comfortable with our surroundings, I was able to let one of my dogs off leash and kept the other on a long lead. They had a great time taking in all the sniffs and loved the creek. It was a great place to solidify my hearing dog’s recall, because I didn’t have to worry about being rude or other people/ dogs being around.Shelby H.

55The boys had the best time. There was so much space to run and so much to sniff. They also enjoyed wading in the creek. The trail was a little tricky to follow during all the rain but we had no problem getting back to our car. We are on a long roadtrip and this was a great spot to get some Aussie energy out. Deedra’s instructions were clear and she was also very responsive. We were traveling through from Nashville and with the heavy rains and traveling with a small human were running behind, fortunately we were still able to change our reservation. If we are ever passing through the area again we would definitely do this spot again.Karla M.

55It was a really refreshing stop on our long drive west! There are a few short paths to walk on and a little creek with really clear fresh water. We went during the hot streak of early summer so some of the paths were a little overgrown but we stepped through anyway. It was perfect. Thank you! Jacqulyn G.

55Beautiful, peaceful spot with everything my pups could want- trails, a creek, and grass to explore! Plenty of place to sit and lounge if you want, and a nice short trail to explore. Kayla A.

55My boy loved it! The woods were definitely a little overgrown and I wouldn’t recommend anyone passing through if you’re icked out by spiders as we encountered a lot of webs, but the CREEK was perfect and my pup had the time of his life in it. We didn’t hear any of the dogs some of the reviews have mentioned, we did find the chickens though! They were safely away in their coop and we walked around their enclosure to not disturb them. Such a lovely little spot. Kacy C.

55Pups absolutely loved it. Lots of running, sniffing and swimming.
We are in the area for 10 days visiting and plan to visit a few more times. I would recommend downloading the directions as on the way back I had cell issues in the area while trying to map my return trip. Melanie M.

FAQ about our Knoxville 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.
