55This is a terrific spot. A really nice hike, very accessible, with good access to water. The dogs had a blast. We were warned to dress appropriately for ticks, and that was a good thing, because there were quite a few of them.Julie S.

55Sophie, the Sniffspot home owners dog, was able to join our pup for a play date! Our shelter pup was able to run and play with sweet Sophie for over an hour. They ran, jumped, chased each other, rolled around in the grass, and just had an absolute blast! It was such a wonderful experience and Sophie’s a sweet girl! Nice manners, well behaved…Our Apollo was tuckered out for the rest of the day! We can’t wait to come back for another playdate!Sara S.

55Absolutely amazing spot! My dogs loved it. So quiet, and my reactive dog was able to explore and run to his hearts content. So much to sniff and so many places to run! Can’t recommend enough.Clara C.

55I took my dog here to celebrate her 8th birthday and she had a blast running the trails and wading in the creek! The trails were clear and well marked. We didn’t see any other people or animals and it was great to have a slice of nature to ourselves!Kara W.

55Beautiful shaded trail and sunny open meadow for my dogs to run around. Really appreciate the Sniffspot signs helping me know it’s the right driveway and labeling parking, the trail (at multiple points, including the end of the trail) and open area. Will definitely be returning!!Jamie W.

55This is such a unique property. My dogs really enjoyed it. The ability to hike around with them was perfect. Could hear / see some neighbors at some points but other points you felt totally alone in the woods. Catie G.

55My favorite spot! The trails are so well marked, foliage is thick now, quiet, peaceful, and the creek! Suggest bug spray and a thorough tick check at the end of your visit. Cindy R.

55This Sniffspot is the best - tons of area to roam and a creek to cool down. My dogs go nuts when we make the turn from the nearest stoplight - they love it here. Ticks are extra bad this season all over NOVA so recommend using preventative.merrill s.

55I wish I could give this Sniffspot 6 stars! We had a blast and my only regret is that I am just now discovering this place. The paths are well-marked and shaded and my dogs loved playing in the woods and stream. Just be sure to pack a towel to wipe and dry off muddy paws. We will be back! Amelia H.
