Hi!! Come bring your pets to play in our private yard! We have our own pets as well, four German Shepherds. They can either be out and about with your dogs (up to you) or they can be put away. Our property is 40 acres. About half of it is wetlands and you will most likely not be able to walk it, though you’re more than welcomed to try! We have a portion of our yard fenced in specifically for the dogs, the rest is not fenced. If you’d like to walk in the woods you may do so, but if your dog is not well trained I would keep him/her on a leash during that period just as a precaution since you don’t know the area. We have two fire pits, one near the house and one in the clearing in the woods. You may use either one if you’d like. There is a hammock set up in the clearing as well, and seating (nothing fancy though) Next to the house, we have a bench swing, a table and chairs, a tree swing, and a yoga hammock on the tree. You may use any of these while your dog runs around :) We have a hose in the fenced in area and this can be used at any time for your dog for drinking water. During the summer, it will be attached to a sprinkler as well. We also have a kiddie pool for our pups during the summer. The grass in the yard used to be luxurious, however it has become muddy as one of my dogs is a digger. So PLEASE be aware of this if it is raining ! I know it drives me crazy and I don’t want you to be upset ! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns :-)

Denise's 5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Elma

Unfenced

Come, take a walk through my yard, into the woods and down a slope to get to Cazenovia Creek. While down by the creek, you will most likely not encounter another human being. The piece of creek is bordered by Northrup, Transit and the bridge on Southwestern Boulevard. Feel free to explore through the woods in solitude, it is a 10 minute walk down to the creek. I have an unfenced yard, so please have your furry friend on a leash if they are not leash trained. Once you get into the woods, you are more than welcome to go off leash. This is definitely a walk for boots or hikers. If it has been raining, the trail down will be muddy. The walk to the slope is wooded with many obstacles but definitely walkable ducking here and there under a branch.

This is a wonderful property with clearly laid out trails. We had an amazing time, but more importantly our dogs were able to explore and play and enjoy themselves thoroughly.

Absolutely amazing area! Martin was kind informative and overall great person. Brutus loved the trails and can't want to be back. 10 out of 10

Justine A.

December 2023

This place is amazing! The trails are beautiful and well-maintained. They’re also nice and wide. My dog loved running through the brush and particularly loved the water!

Georgia W.

December 2023

This spot is fantastic!!! Beautiful place, extremely well maintained, signs everywhere indicating where to park and the main trails. Martin truly went above and beyond by providing a paper map too which was amazing. A garbage can at the entrance/exit which is the first time I’ve seen that at a Sniffspot. This might just be my favorite spot so far!

Megan D.

December 2023

What an amazing spot to hike with your pups! All 3 of us left muddy and tired which equals a good day in our books 😊 Lots of pathways and areas to explore, we will be coming back for sure!

Barbara M.

December 2023

Fantastic. Martin , the host, is welcoming and helpful . The site is fantastic . My dog was so happy here!

Amanda W.

December 2023

Great trail network, came on a rainy winter day so I can imagine how beautiful it is in the summer. Martin was super welcoming and provided a helpful map illustrating the property. It took 1 hour to cover the outer perimeter, and it would probably take over 2 hours to cover the entire network but we didn’t get that far, next time though! The trails are well maintained for sure, and my dog loved swimming and zooming through the forest and brush. Would definitely come again and recommend to friends :)

Emma R.

December 2023

Great first visit at this fantastic spot. The trails are clearly marked and very well maintained with lots of options for different routes for you and your pup. Martin was a great host, he provided us with a map of the trails on arrival and let us know which areas to avoid with all the rain lately. Even with the wet weather our dog had an awesome time!

Christine C.

December 2023

Archie had a fantastic time running around the trails, jumping into the marshy areas and generally targeting anything that was muddy and wet (of course). He also loved off-roading into the bushes as evidenced by the little burrs that he collected along the way in the photo (but i knew it would happen and Martin indicated in the description as well which was also super helpful). The trail is nicely marked and I like that it has a variety of paths. Martin provided a map to also help us navigate our time. The hour went by so quickly and we would definitely come again!

Katherine M.

December 2023

Really well maintained trails with some forested parts, some more meadowed areas and even a small creek that my dog loves going for a small swim in! Some of the trails are closer to the road, but it isn't loud or busy and my dog didn't notice at all! She was able to be fully off leash the entire time without any issues. The entire area would be great in any season, just be sure to wear the right shoes because it can be a bit on the wetter side We'll be back for sure - she had a great time!

Victoria F.

December 2023

I am so happy to have this huge new spot in the area. There is so much to explore, and my dog was tracking tons of scents. He also really enjoyed the water features. Lots of nicely groomed trails with pretty apple trees. Thanks for hosting us! We would love to visit again soon!

Angela F.

December 2023

What a great walk on the trails today. Nice wide trails to go at your own pace. Our Gus loves sniffing and exploring. Martin is a gracious host. Has lots of the trails marked and were presented with a map to help us along the way way. We got to see the beehives (keep our distance of course). Will are all tired out and can’t wait to come back.

Eugene S.

December 2023

Wow, what an amazing place! It’s like having a piece of a conservation area all for private use for me and my dog. The trails were well labelled and the owner even provided a map! 10/10!

FAQ about our Welland 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 Welland?

There are 12 dog hiking trails in the Welland area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Barbara's 25 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Niagara Falls. 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 Welland area range from $5.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Denise's 5 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Elma. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Winter Haven GSP Farm in Orchard Park, NY. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
