55This place is the real deal! The trails really do feel like real woodland hiking, and they have the best/most clear signage of any Sniffspot I’ve been to. Plus the DNR land in the back adds that much more acreage. There’s multiple ponds and it’s fun to hike from one to another to the clearing, etc. Amiya M.

55We had a wonderful time checking out the new trails that have been made. This is such an incredible spot to explore. There’s so much to see between the private land and the accessible DNR trails. Nicole R.

55What a great spot! Like heaven for dogs. I loved all the cute brick/stone structures, paths, ponds, etc. And so cool that you can build a fire and hang out in a couple different places. We’ll have to go back another time when it’s not almost dark 🙂Anne E.

55We visited an amazing forest today, and it was perfect! The space was clean, spacious, and fully fenced, allowing our pup to explore and play safely. The host clearly put a lot of care into the setup. Walter had the best time running around and sniffing. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, dog-friendly adventure!

55It's a beautiful and very maintained sniffspot. We enjoyed it a lot. As the information says, the place is not fully fenced but there are clear signs where we can or not enter. If dogs are not good for recall, they can easily run outside of the designated area.Yuki K.

55Great spot! We did see a few dogs in a fenced-in area connected to the house adjacent to the parking for the Sniffspot, but as recommended by the spot owner, we kept our dog on a leash until out of sight of the parking area. After that the woodland trails were very clearly marked, quiet and peaceful. There is a nice open area for fetch and a huge pond for swimming (though it was too cold for ours to swim today). Didn’t see any livestock. Our pup had an amazing time and we will be back! Sophia S.

55What a lovely property this is! We visited on a cloudy day that turned drizzly, but no matter. We walked all of the forest trails to check them out, and dog loved having a new place to practice his zoomies, chase and destroy some sticks, and look for critters. You should go!Barbara L.

FAQ about our Manson 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 Manson?
There are 3 dog hiking trails in the Manson area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Tara's Private Dog Hike In Manson. 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.
