55This place is one of a kind ! We spent 2 hours exploring this special spot . Our 8 month old puppy told us this was the best day ever. He chased butterflies and ran until we made him leave . Our only regret was not bringing a picnic. Grace is a kind and considerate host who clearly wants to provide a unique sniffspot experience for all dogs and their owners ! ann w.

55Absolutely beautiful and fully-fenced spot. Was a joy to kill a couple of hours tromping around with a very happy dog. Plenty of incline to play uphill fetch and there's even a small creek if your pup is inclined to take a dip. Some goats visible right when you first enter which was a non-issue for us and you can hear the occasional barn fowl. No people other than our very friendly and accommodating host. Would heartily recommend and encourage you to pack some bug spray on overcast days 💛Meghan B.

55We loved this Sniffspot! Grace was such a gracious host and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The property was huge and had tons of space for my dog and I to roam around for 2 solid hours. It was also the perfect place for us to practice our trail manners in a safe environment. Per the listing’s description we did hear gunshots from the neighboring properties (hunting! Don’t worry!) and it was an amazing training opportunity for us. We will definitely be back!Najla H.

55This was our second time at this spot and our dog absolutely loved it. He ran around like crazy and even jumped in the water today - he is not a water dog. Tired himself out in about 45 minutes and let us know he was ready to go. we love it here so much that we booked our next visit while still there. Thank you Grace for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!! Lisa R.

55Grace is an incredibly sweet and considerate host! She had a welcome sign, greeted us, navigated us through the property and even gave us treats for the ride home! She is truly the best! The space is amazing, so many trails to follow. My dogs had such a blast!Chloe B.

55Super easy to find, clearly marked parking spot and entry into area. Grace is delightful and spoils her guests with balls to throw for the doggies and access to her cute goats for a visit. No need to bring water for doggies, there is a beautiful stream running thru. The gorgeous woodland is an amusement park for dogs and very special spot for nature lovers. It is nicely secluded and private with many different areas to explore, an absolute treasure! We’ll be back with a picnic and more time to spend VERY soon!Kristin s.

55We had a great time on our first visit today -- all four dogs had a blast! They raced around, sniffed all the smells from previously occupants and splashed in the creek. The description was right on the money and the host Grace was lovely to us. It was well worth the drive from Seattle. Victoria M.

55Grace’s place is paradise for our pups — they start wiggling their tails off as soon as we pull into her driveway! So much variety for romping and sniffing—they explored every single acre of terrain today and then were too tired to jump back into the car at the end :) Grace as always is such a wonderful, thoughtful host — we cant wait to come back.

55Amazing. We were first greeted and given directions to the back by Grace. Grace is such a lovely person, her care and hospitality make this visit even better. Our reactive pup loved the forest walk/hike, and of course- the river🥰! We visited on a rainy day so I recommend wearing boots and bringing a towel to dry off your pup. We will be back FOR SURE ❤️.

55Great spot to bring your dogs! Easy to get to, many little trails to explore, and my dogs ran non-stop for the full hour. So nice to have a place to let your dogs off leash and not have to worry about running into anybody. We will be back again!Erika P.

FAQ about our Ferndale 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.
