Our 100 acre farm has been in the family for over 30 years. We have put a lot of time and effort into the property. And we would love to share it with you and your fur family to. The trails are all very well maintained. You will likely see birds, deer and plenty of wildlife throughout the trials. We hope to see you out and about enjoying it just as much as we do with all of our animals. ****Notes WE ARE CLOSED…. Until the First of December🌲 due to Hunting Season it’s open firearm. We are not hunting but we aren’t sure if our neighbors are and we want to be safe. Sorry for the inconvenience. We look forward to seeing everyone again soon 🐶🌲😊 Happy FALL🍁🍂Please keep the weather in mind. All of our trails are in the woods. We HIGHLY recommend if the wind is above 15 mph to reschedule. (You can cancel and get your money back-we understand) We just don’t want you or your pet getting hurt if anything were to happen in the winter woods. One other thing. Don’t forget bring those Boots. All of our trails are usually dry. But if you do come after it rains it could be a little muddy. Last but not least the Porter John is gone for the Fall/Winter🥶 Thank you for checking out our spot!! We look forward to meeting you and your furfriends. 🐕☺️ Maple Ridge Farms ❤️

December 2022

Reva 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 :)

Rachael P.

January 2023

Our dog’s favorite place in the entire world. You should see them go crazy when we tell them we are going to “Reva’s house”

Emily F.

January 2023

Absolutely 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!!

Jordan B.

March 2023

We 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!

Laura S.

April 2023

We 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!

Kalyn C.

May 2023

Our 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.

Always a blast here and this is the best Sniffspot I’ve found!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality!!!

June 2023

It 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.

July 2023

This 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!

Jennifer R.

August 2023

One of the best sniff spots! So much acreage for your dog to run around and explore without worrying about other dogs! We had so much fun exploring the trails and we will definitely be back!

Sierra K.

SO MUCH FUN! The pups had a BLAST. The trails were very well marked, and the hosts were so amazing. We will be back!

We had a great time - the property is beautiful and the trail system is awesome. The hosts were both very friendly and kind. Now I’ve got an exhausted, happy pup - can’t wait to be back!

Lindsay H.

September 2023

This was SUCH a fun experience for me and my pup! We drove up from Indiana to check it out since there aren’t a ton of options close to us and we weren’t disappointed. The trails were well marked, and super fun, and the host provided a map to ensure safety. We saw deer, rabbits, and chipmunks, just so people are aware. We booked it for about 3 hours, and walked a total of 5 miles. The host was incredibly kind and helpful! We cannot wait to go back!

Laura S.

September 2023

We loved all of the new trails and the addition of great signage. The picnic area is adorable. Our 1.5 year old Lab loved sprinting through the woods and up and down hills. She even had to lay down to get a break about 30 minutes in mid trail (which never happens). Definitely recommend. The water buckets are clutch and every dog loves a good treat. Keep your eyes peeled for deer.

Jasmine C.

October 2023

The host greeted us at the beginning of our visit with a very well thought out and detailed map and a welcoming attitude. There is an area at the entrance with water, but spray, dog waste bags, dog treats, hand sanitizer and a bench. Several more areas throughout. Many beautiful surprise spaces with fire pits. The trails were clearly marked. The paths are well maintained. The property itself is amazing. I recommend booking at least 1 1/2 hours and even then you will want to come back again and again. What an amazing property! You have got to come check this place out.

Brandon N.

October 2023

Fantastic spot! My pup enjoyed running around the forest off leash with no fear of other dogs or humans. The host went above and beyond with dog treats, water, and even a portapotty. The trail was very well marked. We would love to return!

Iris L.

October 2023

Wonderful spot! My dog loved being able to run around off leash in such a big area, and I appreciated that there were dog treats and poop bags available as well. Reva also kindly gave us a beautiful bouquet of flowers when we left!

This spot was perfect and is a beautiful piece of land. Thank you so much for sharing it and for all the extra things you do to make it enjoyable!

October 2023

This was hands down the best SniffSpot we’ve ever visited. It was so well thought out, the trails were very well marked, the treats and orange vests were so considerate. Oh, and it’s GORGEOUS! If I could bring my dogs every day I would. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Kendra D.

October 2023

This place is beautiful! And they were really accommodating, showed us where to go and how it is there. They gave us orange vests to wear so we were all safe in the woods too. My dog loved all the smells and ran around the woods like crazy!

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 can I find dog hiking trails in Otsego?

There are 12 dog hiking trails in the Otsego area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Maple Ridge Farms-100 Acre Woods. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.

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.

How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?

Dog hiking trails in the Otsego area range from $5.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Ken and Beth's awesome Dog Park In Augusta.
