55This was our first time at this sniffspot, and we had a great time. The location is somewhat secluded but well marked, and the owner's instructions are very clear. The parking area and trail entrance are also clearly noted once on the property. We didn't hike all the way up to the lookout point but did explore a bit on the way. The dogs really enjoyed the creek. As noted, bring good shoes and be prepared for some hiking, and you will be rewarded! The dogs are tired, and we will definitely be back!Jen F.

55This is an amazing piece of property. If you want to hike with your dog this is the spot. There is a beautiful stream where they cooled off after the hike. Such beautiful woods, nice and secluded. There are some hills so I would wear good shoes and not flip flops like I did, this is some real hiking! Only thing I would note is the first minute or 2 the trail runs Along the road, it is separated by brush, but if you don’t have good recall I would leash them until the trail curves to the right and goes into the woods. Great spot to get out and Sniff!!!Dee J.

55Wonderful trails and a beautiful creek to play in!! As you start on the path there is one spot at the first right turn that is close to the street and is fairly clear of greenery. If you have an adventurous dog or one without good recall, you may want to leash up until you pass this spot. Such a great Sniffspot! One of my favorites for sure!!Emily H.

55This is an amazing spot! There is a great hiking trail with a little creek for the dogs to cool off in. I love being able to go hiking with my dogs off leash without the worry of seeing other dogs. It is both beautiful and peaceful!Erin C.

55Our dogs had a great time! It is so nice to be able to let them run off leash without the worry of running into other dogs. I only wish we would have had enough time to do the full hike—it would have been a great day for it. Rachel P.

55The property is utterly stunning - an easy five-star rating from us. Brad's communication was crystal clear, and his assistance in pointing out the best areas to explore during our limited stay was invaluable. The property is meticulously maintained and spotlessly clean, with no potentially harmful materials or objects that could pose a risk to our dogs. I suggest reserving around three hours for your visit to savor all these expansive property offers. We are eagerly looking forward to our return. Thanks for having us, Brad, Sadie, Jax, and K9 Karl!

55Everything about this Sniffspot was great! There were so many different trails to explore and plenty of mud puddles for our crazy pups to frolic in. Our lab LOVES puddles, so she was in heaven! My 3 pups and our friends pup who frequents this Sniffspot weekly had a wonderful time! My 3 pups slept all through the evening, they were so tired and happy!Noël H.

FAQ about our Anacortes 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 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.
