55I'll start with the land because it's absolutely gorgeous. The trails are super nice and well laid out and I was never afraid of getting lost.
The owner was lovely and brought out a map and pointed out any spots that might have problems (they have honey bees that didn't mind us at all).
The high-vis vests provided were very helpful, especially with hunting season going and ours was left at home by mistake. They also had mosquito spray available and some balls as well as buckets of water closer to where the trail starts. It was also nice to have a trash can available for her waste so I wouldn't have to drive home with it.
I highly recommend this Sniff Spot!
If your dog is a fan of wildlife, i also recommend bells to help scare them off and/or a long line because it is absolutely rural and there's lots of fuzzballs scurrying about including deer bouncing around.Courtney K.

55Incredible property that’s clean and very well cared for. Nicely marked and map made it messily to navigate.
Such a great find to explore and play in their beautiful woods! Susan W.

55This place is a dogs paradise. 100 acres to run around where dogs can be dogs. Make sure your dog has a decent recall or bring a long line. The vests provided for us and the dogs were an awesome touch. Not only did it help keep them safe but it also helped us see them. We went from 6-7 which was perfect timing because we got to see the sunset. Reva is such a kind person who truly loves animals. She has so many personal touches including a map, vests for dogs and humans, bug spray, treats, and water buckets through out. I would recommend this place to anyone. Especially right now, the fall colors were insane. We will be back without a doubt Rachael P.

55AMAZING!!! Such an amazing well kept property! Reva was so nice and it was a great experience! If your dogs do not have amazing recall I would be careful, there is tons of wildlife that if my boys didn’t have it they would have been gone! 😂 but amazing spot 10/10 Soraya H.

55Reva is the greatest host! She gave me a map when I got there and had treats at the start of the trail! Excellent signage throughout the woods and well-marked trails. The property is gorgeous and huge! My Aussie loved running off leash! Highly recommend making the trip here if you have a dog that loves to RUN :)Mallory R.

55Absolutely loved this SniffSpot. Reva was so kind and welcoming. There were water pails along the trail so your puppy had plenty of access to water after running around. And Reva even gave us a map in case we got lost. Trails were very well maintained and well marked. There was a lot of wildlife on the trail (saw deer more than once), I would be careful if your dog likes to chase wildlife. But other than that, this place was amazing. Will definitely be coming again!!Emily F.

55We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!!! It’s a BEAUTIFUL spot for off leash romping. Neat and clearly marked trials, buckets of water, and anything you’d need available - including a physical map! Reva is considerate and hospitable and we can’t wait to come back more often! Jordan B.

55We had a wonderful time! Our dog loved the pond, water buckets, tall trees, and insisted on one of the provided treats once back at the trailhead. We loved all of the trail options making it easy to spend as much time as you wanted exploring, the bug spray (luckily we didn't need any on a warm April day- but I imagine it would save the day if you forgot some and needed it), and trail markings.
We did have a surprise encounter with some deer which is expected in such a peaceful patch of woods.
We will be back!Laura S.

55Our time at Maple Ridge Farms was nothing short of incredible. The trails were a delight to explore with our pup who rarely has an opportunity to enjoy herself outdoors. We were very impressed by the amenities offered, and Reva was so kind and welcoming on our first visit. It means the world to us to have a place where our dog can explore safely, and we are so grateful for our time at Maple Ridge.Kalyn C.

55It was such an enjoyable time. The property/paths are awesome and easy to follow. My dog loved all of the wildlife and how much room he had to roam! It was perfect for working on recall. We can’t wait to come back and let our friends know! Thanks again for hosting your wonderful space. Kayleigh V.

55This was our first time using this app and we absolutely picked the perfect place! Haha. Reva was very welcoming and gave us all the info we needed for our time there. The map was great and having water buckets at the entrance and halfway point was great! My dog was in heaven the entire time. I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis to this gorgeous property!Chelsea H.

FAQ about our Otsego 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.
