55Utopia! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The property is gorgeous and very well maintained. We walked the trails and watched Pippin go in the pond. If you're a trail runner and you've always wanted to run with your dog off lead, this is the spot for you. The terrain is hilly and has many twists and turns. There are numerous benches so you can take a break and just watch your dog. We brought our own water and bags but the hosts had both available. Highly recommend this incredible spot!Kellee P.

55The hosts are always lovely, my dog always has a great time. She got a little stressed about the gunshots today, but as you can see that didn't stop her from having fun :) Truly a gem of a place!Lauren B.

55What a gem! It is exactly as I’d hoped: a nice, safe place to learn how well my dogs will listen in a large wooded space (hardly at all btw). I had been considering taking them to some partially fenced spots but now know that won’t work until we do some (a lot) more training. I also learned my newest rescue likes to swim! Didn’t think so because she’s never been thrilled with the big lake but she LOVED the pond. Everything is very clean and nice. I was a little worried about the fence as the new rescue has been known to hop fences (we’ve been working on it) but she showed zero inclination. If your dogs are less likely to run off than mine, it is a lovely spot to take a nice walk/hike together. Otherwise, it’s still a lovely spot and not so big your dog won’t come back to you eventually. Britt S.

55We had the best time!! Rolling the tennis balls down the hill path was a huge hit. They swam, dug in sand, played hide and seek, chased sticks, and ran and ran and ran. If you're debating visiting this spot (it is a bit of a hike): DO IT! Your puppies will thank you! Great well maintained path, benches and sculptures scattered along path. We were here for 2 hours and there was plenty to keep our energetic dogs busy. Thanks, Brent and family for providing such a fun activity for our fur babies.Rachel H.

55We love Happy Trails N Tails! We have a Golden Retriever who spends the entire time in the water, but we also have a blind fur baby and we can bring her here to play in the pond and trails with her brother and sister off leash without having to worry about her getting lost or hurt.Wendy S.

55We are so glad we finally made it out to this spot! Our boys loved running along this very well kept trail. Chrissy was so welcoming and even gave us a bag for our dogs! Fresh water was available as well as bug spray which we had forgotten for ourselves! The dogs were SO happy to visit and we look forward to coming again :)Alyssa S.

55This place is amazing! The hosts are so nice, the area and trails are so clean. This was the first time I have been able to take both dogs out because I have one who is very anxious. She had the best time. Definitely will be a regular here!Andrea N.

55Lenny had such a good time! The pond was so nice for her. She also has been known to be a bit of an escape artist and I was not worried there at all. Liv G.

55We brought my dog Milo here for his 5th birthday and he had a blast! It was so much fun seeing him run the trails and get to enjoy the outdoors. The area was clean, fully gated and had all the amenities. This will definitely be a core memory for both Milo and us!Naomi E.

FAQ about our Twin Lake 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.

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.
