We also got some treats (liver - a favorite of Hugo) and a bone 😋 Maëva L.

55What a wonderful place to go and just let your dogs be dogs. Well off the road to be off leash. Plenty of signage to mark parking and trails. Will definitely go again. HEATHER S.

55Absolutely beautiful property! This location is quite remote but they have done an amazing job with the signage! No worries about missing your turn on the road or wondering where to park. Even the trails are labeled incredibly well. I felt super safe and my dogs had an absolute blast. There's a wonderful mix of open field and dense forest to explore. I will absolutely be back!

55My dogs loved the open fields and the trails were so pretty with all the fallen leaves. There was a pond and thankfully I went prepared with a towel, and oh boy did I need it! My dogs had a blast, I got some lovely photos of the sunset with my dogs and everyone left a little more tired and happy. Sarah K.

55Great spot to hike your dog. Well groomed trails and clear signage. My dog can be reactive at times and this spot allowed for a calm, stress free walk with no unexpected guests. Well, the wild turkeys did say hi, but they were well behaved! Great communication with the owner. Thanks for having us! Sophia B.

55We had so much fun at LK Farms! Such a great place for dogs to run around and explore. Pond water is low and stinky, but my dog couldn't have cared less LOL. Nicely cleared trails through the fields and wooded area. Picked up some beef lung treats and a beef bone for the pup, which were huge hits. Also got a dozen farm fresh eggs for the humans. Delicious! Stephanie J.

55This is a great spot! It’s so quiet and private and so many areas for the little dog nose to be kept entertained. Trails through the forest are well cared for and super calming for the humans to enjoy too. Kara P.

FAQ about our Ottawa 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 Ottawa?
There are 8 dog hiking trails in the Ottawa area. The most popular dog hiking trail is LK Farm private dog park in Metcalfe. 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.
