55A real treat for all of us. The added covered area is also such a nice addition. My husband cant do a lot of walking so he spends time in the chairs, I didn’t think this spot could get nicer and then.. boom.. it does:). Happy Holidays everyone Susan C.

55Really nice spot. It's like a hiking trail. Well marked parking instructions and they even put out printed maps of the trail. I thought it was really special. Jessica K.

55So much fun! Tons of trails, very private and reading about the fencing kind of worried me but when we got there and saw the fencing I was relieved and knew it would keep our large dogs in. We had a blast and will definitely be back!Maggie H.

55Just when you think this piece of heaven can’t get any better- it does!! One giant tree down so the path was blocked- well for humans anyway. New beautiful signs and I couldn’t get the song penny lane out of my head.. Beatles are my favorite!!! My dog Cedar lived the sign cedar sanctuary and of course I got a Picture of Him by that sign.. loved the yellow ribbons tied to let me know I was on the path and not hopelessly lost.. i get lost easily.. of course my dogs know where they are - heaven!

55Such a beautiful space! It was ~20 degrees when we went, and the host was thoughtful enough to message in advance to let us know the water would be frozen so we should bring our pups :)
We really loved exploring the trails, and there was a nice straightaway to play some fetch as well.
There are a lot of places where you may lose sight of your dogs if they like to run around away from you. It’s fine for us, but something to keep in mind if that doesn’t work for you and your pups! Jenn S.

55Always a wonderful time. The new covered area was very fun to sniff, as were some frozen sticks from the recent windstorm and freezing temps! We love it here. Rebekah J.

55Paul is constantly working on improving his already wonderful Sniffspot. The last time I was there, I discovered beautifully made trail signs posted at all of the key intersections along the paths on his property. And I have really appreciated the covered shelter in this rainy weather. We will continue to visit frequently!Heidi S.

55Walked Paul’s trail today, a bit challenging for us but had a blast as always. Came home with 4 tired happy pups. Thanks as always for the opportunity to soak up the beautiful outdoors. Susan C.

55Absolutely charming spot. The winding trails are well maintained and make the location seem much bigger than it first appears. This has leapt to the top of our SniffSpot list. Joelle D.

55This was my first time to the sniffspot with my senior dog and a few of her young friends. We had a fantastic time! We stayed for 90 minutes and kept moving the whole time. There was so much to see, sniff and explore. The dogs loved running along the trails, playing in the small streams, and chasing each other around trees and over logs. I appreciated the scenery, fresh water for the pups, sanican, printed map and trash can. We will be back soon!Aubbie B.

We appreciate the natural fencing/barriers to keep us on trail. The signs are a nice touch too.

55This place is beautiful. Love the upgrades. Still need adequate recall! But my wild kid didn’t end up on the road today so that was a real perk :) She spent some time glaring at blocked areas by the stream where she used to leave. Also the bathroom is a huge perk since I don’t live close. Can’t wait to see the spring flowering woodland trees again. So grateful to the owner for sharing this incredible space.Jo B.

55Seems they've done a lot of work on the trail system since the last time I was here! There is a map provided, which is great. Trails were all signed and there were arrows along the way to keep you going in the right direction. I always enjoy this property but it just keeps getting better!Teasha L.

55GPS and directions from Paul made it easy to find! My dog had an absolute blast in the woods. I could see where there was more brush than fence in just a few spots, but one area had a very steep creek bed separating the path from it, so I wasn't concerned. I also saw a horse in a nearby pasture, but it never made a noise while we were there. Brigid loved it and I loved sitting and letting her run around for a little bit too. She had fun exploring and sniffing every thing at this place!Rowan D.

FAQ about our Burien 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.
