55Absolutely beautiful spot! Our very curious 60 lb pup kept squeezing under the gate by the bridge so she could check out the goats. Still a fenced area, just keep that in mind if you visit! It's easy to avoid if you explore the space farther away from the entrance.Mercedes D.

55Betty had a wonderful time. Plenty of open space to run around and explore. This sniff spot was clean and quiet (no road noise). We will definitely come back!Faith M.

55We love this spot! It’s so fun to explore the forest and the trails. The pups always have a great time. My pups are escape artists, so I keep them on long lines and we haven’t had a problem with them running off here. It’s very private and beautiful! Just be aware that sometimes you can hear dogs, chickens, or kids from the neighboring property. Love this spot and we will be back lots! Jess C.

55Such a wonderful location! We loved getting to relax and play with our puppy. She loved getting to run around and play in the creek.
The host was very kind and considerate. It was great to be shown everything before we went in.Isabella T.

55This is such a wonderful Sniffspot with a truly special host, Grace. The woods & creek are Teddy's favorite, and Grace provides everything you might need, plus some extra kindness. She makes us feel special when we visit. Her personalized welcome sign & little treats at the end always adds more happiness to our visit. Thank you, Grace. We need more people like you in this world.Jacki D.

55This is a wonderful place for the dogs to run. The hills make it extra fun. My two had a blast. And Grace is a very thoughtful host. There are a couple places where I feel like the fence dips to below 4ft, but this comment is coming from a Rhodesian Ridgeback owner who has to pay extra close attention! For normal dogs, the fence is great - hahaNatalie J.

55Grace, the host, was so friendly welcoming. She gave me a brief intro to their place and then sent us on our way to the sniffspot portion of the property.
The personalized touch of having our names on the little chalkboard by the gate, assured us that we were the only ones there, as my dog is shy and reactive.
As you walk towards the off leash area, cute curious goats peek at you on the way.
Cross the bridge and immediately to the left is a creek for your dogs to splash and run in. My Frida LOVES the water so we spent a good portion of our time there.
Walk up the big hill into the woods and you can see the cute cabins that they rent, as you walk the trails.
Overall, this is one of the best Sniffspots we've visited so far because:
1) Private (didn't see any other people or dogs on adjacent property)
2) Heavily wooded, (lots of shade on hot days)
3) Fresh running stream for my dog to play in!
4) Personalized touches
When we got back to our car there were little treats, one for Frida, and one for me! Lisa M.

55Grace is an amazing host! She’s very welcoming and we enjoyed the personalized details and thoughtful gestures. Our 2 labs had a blast running around. I love all the trails, areas of water for them to cool off in and the fact it’s fully fenced. We will def be back 😀Kayla T.

55The mini forest is an absolute dream! So relaxing to be able to let my dog off leash with confidence. My dog is anxious and dog/stranger reactive and was so at ease during our visit. Lots to sniff, beautiful trees and creek. Can’t wait to return!Jennifer J.

55Beautiful setting. Easy to find location. Kind, wonderful host! The personalized welcome sign & tasty exit treats are the cherry on top. My 12 year old lab/shep had a WONDERFUL time exploring, especially watching the water flow in the streams. We both loved it here!Melissa R.

55I had wanted to visit this spot since it popped up and it didn't disappoint! Grace messaged me shortly before the visit to let me know there were workers at the house which thankfully would not have been a problem for my dog but it could have been for others so I appreciated the heads up. When we arrived she happily greeted us and let me know how to access the off leash area of the property. It was like our own private hiking area, complete with enough hills to give me and my pup a workout. There are benches spaced around the area to relax a bit too.
I highly recommend booking for more than an hour to take advantage of the whole space. Things to note: solid footwear is recommended. Unless you stick to the front of the area, you're in the woods. It's not overgrown or anything, but you'll want to cover your feet. Also, you're in the country. While we were there we heard what were either gun shots or fireworks. I prepare for this by making sure I have plenty of treats and something to play fetch with to distract my dog. None of this is to suggest you shouldn't go, I would definitely make the hour drive to visit again. Thanks for sharing your land, Grace! Amy P.

FAQ about our Mission 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.
