Ancaster Trails
Off-leash trails. All to yourself.
More than 3 km of hand-cut trails through forest, open meadow, and transition land — reserved exclusively for your visit, every time. No other dogs. No strangers. Just your pack and the trail.
Features
Hand-Cut Trails - These trails were originally cut by the owner for cross-country skiing, so they wind naturally through the landscape rather than following a grid. Every turn is intentional. Every section has character.
Varied Terrain - Move through open meadows where dogs can sprint at full speed, into mature forest for shade and scent, and through transition habitat where the landscape shifts unexpectedly. No two visits feel exactly alike.
Rich Wildlife Corridor - The property sits on a recognized bird migration path, making it a hotspot for migrating species throughout the year. Expect deer, songbirds, waterfowl, and more as your dog explores.
Complete Privacy, Guaranteed - Each session is booked exclusively. A full 30-minute gap separates every booking, so you will never arrive to find another group on the trail. Not in theory — every single time.
Flexible Durations - Choose 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5 hours. Pricing is transparent and calculated instantly at checkout — no surprises, no minimum spend, and a multi-dog rate built right in.
Open All Year - Winter visits are among the most popular. The same trails that were built for skiing become a snowy adventure for off-leash dogs. Book any season; the property is actively maintained year-round.
Guaranteed Privacy!
When you book, the trails are yours. Period.
No shared access. No surprise encounters with reactive dogs or unfamiliar people. Every session is a private reservation, enforced by a 30-minute buffer between bookings.
Whether your dog is a social butterfly or needs space to roam, this environment is built around their comfort.
How to book your little adventure
Two ways to reserve, one great experience
