We have a giant hill leading down to a majority of our property. Then it's open grass field and some forested area with only one neighboring house visible. It's common to see deer, rabbits, and Eagles. People and dogs can get a great workout on the hill, or you can throw a ball from the top and leave the workout to the dog.

Woodland Tranquility Pathways - find solitude!

Off-grid Sniffspot location in rural Snohomish Washington! You will have the entire 5-acre property to yourself to enjoy! This part of our property is only used for Sniffspot guests. Would be perfect for those that don’t want to interact with others (i.e. cars driving by, strangers, the neighbors... ‘chatty hosts/property owners’😉). Safe place for adventurous individuals that prefer to explore alone with their doggo(s), a doggie daycare retreat, a memorable late evening of star-gazing, or a safe place for a highly reactive dog to have fun. Details: 5 acres, off-grid experience (no power or running water) with it’s own private entrance. Two grassy sloping yard areas with “Tranquility Trails” that loop up the hill. Secluded, native woodland with mowed grass. There are (overgrown) cottage style gardens. During your visit, feel free to pick blueberries, wild blackberries, apples or roses — or pull weeds — if that’s fun for you. 😉. This location is very relaxing. Plan for a couple hours or more to enjoy the quiet, rural lifestyle. TIP: if you have any concerns about your pup(s) going down the driveway, feel free to close the gate for added safety. Note: We are raising money to renovate the cottage located on the property by hosting a Sniffspot. Please do not explore inside the house, a roof collapse could happen before we can arrange for it to be replaced.

124 Acre Conservation Farm Trails Fields Fun

Follow our FB page for open days. Farm store open soon! Watch FB for opening date. All sorts of outdoor and doggo goodies! Malaney Creek Farm is a 124 acre conservation farm comprised of fields, forest and wetlands. 3+ miles of private trails, open grassy fields. Trails are marked to keep you pointed in the right direction. Picnic tables, covered areas to duck out of the weather and portable restroom with hand sanitizer. Your sniffspot staging area is located in what we call our "Cascara" campsite. Covered picnic table, adirondack chairs, firepit and a big green grassy field. This spot is a central location near the portable restroom, easy drive in access, and a base location for exploring the trail network. Our trail system has been a labor of love. We enjoy providing unique experiences and highlighting the natural beauty of the forest and wetlands on the property. Once home to giant cedar trees the property was purchased by the Great Northern Railway in the late 1800's. A railroad system was built here and the giant cedars logged and milled onsite. You wouldn't be able to tell that now as the forest is doing a wonderful job of repairing itself. We do have a few artifacts scattered about that have been found that you will see on your walks. A large concrete trestle base, railway beams, rail spikes and misc metal items from the trains and equipment. Most of our trails accommodate hiking and mountain bikes (yes E-bikes are allowed ;), however the hiking only trails are really evolving. Our new wetlands trail is a quick link between Casacara and the Beargrass island trail. It is foot traffic only and features hand hewn cedar bridges made from cedar logs left behind by the logging operation over 100 years ago! Log rounds to hop across wet areas and places to stop and soak in the quiet. There is a diverse landscape of rare native plants on this hike and foraging opportunities abound! Fiddle head ferns, chicken of the woods and more! Our most prized flora is a large patch of Labrador Tea. A very rare species of plant related to the rhododendron that native american peoples used as a medicinal healing tea. So come out and explore! Bring appropriate footwear, your furry hiking buddies, a bottled water, and a camera. We look forward to hosting you! PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU CANCEL WITHIN THE 2 HOUR WINDOW BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT THERE ARE NO REFUNDS. WE BLOCK OUT ALL DAY BOOKINGS FOR SNIFFSPOT APPOINTMENTS. Check out our website, insta and FB page for more photos too! Happy Sniffing!!l

Magical Mossy Forest

Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot is a large mystical woodland adventure for dogs in Redmond on the way to Carnation. Boots are recommended in the winter rain. MMF is preferred by puppies, dogs, people, adults and kids alike because it has potable water, power, picnic tables, chairs, several firepits, lit portapotties, 3 swing sets, 3 slides, monkey bars, 3 Forts, a log bridge to cross over Little Ames Creek for when the creek is flowing, a doggy playground, lots of picturesque moss, lighted parking lot, woodchip trails and many footpaths over 5 forested moss covered acres. Parking is near the road, separated by 50 ft of woods, so we suggest that all our doggy friends be leashed until they are on the trails with you. Please leash your dog until into the forest away from the parking area, after that Bob's Your Uncle! Watch kids and dogs in the parking area near the road, and at Ames Creek. A secluded place to dork out and have fun, enjoying a natural Pacific rainforest. Note that the creek is dry in midsummer until the fall and winter rains kick in. Boots are recommended in the fall and winter. Find a map of the main trails in a photo on our MMF Sniffspot site. There are lots of foot trails through the understory ferns. The log bridge can be used to cross Ames Creek, or you can ford it to discover the rest of Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot. Please pack out doggy bags with you because there is no garbage pickup here, please leave no trace. If there is a downpour and you want to wait it out there is a dry shed in the parking area. Access to power helps keep your batteries charged. Please carry your toilet paper (sorry it walks away). The portapotties are cleaned once a week. Please visit our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555379018442 Let us know if you have any questions. Synchronized play bowing to you!

55We had a lovely time at this spot! It was our first visit, and we made a rookie mistake by following the curvature of the road to a different, locked gate instead of staying straight on 86th. Fortunately for us, the host kindly responded ASAP to help us find the actual entrance. The setup is great, with a clearing with chairs and water to serve as a base from which to explore the various trails. The trail with the bridge was closed for repairs (can’t fault a host for maintaining their spot!), so we have something to look forward to next visit. After an initial circuit to familiarize ourselves, we ended up keeping our pup on a long lead. He is sometimes a “choose your own adventure” type and there were definitely places here and there where he might have decided to follow his curiosity out of bounds. It didn’t matter—we had fun!

55I brought home a foster dog a few weeks ago and was trying to figure out how to get her to burn off some energy. The dog park would be too much. Luckily, I saw a post for this spot. I decided to get a monthly membership and I'm happy I did. It's been great letting her and my two dogs run around on the trails. There are so many smells to keep them busy and the owner keeps a Chuckit/ball in an open seating area to add to the fun.

55We didn't get to utilize all the trails because we were a little confused with the map and only found short loops. We will definitely be back to explore other areas. Can see how if you have a mischievous dog they would possibly have the opportunity to get out of the fencing but our dogs were fine.

55Great place. We could see horses in the distance and hear a dog in the distance but there was thick brush to deter my reactive dog from investigating, and it looked like the facility was fully fenced. My dog really enjoyed the off leash time. It was unusually warm so it was a nice touch that there was a cooler of water for my pup to drink and a picnic table in shade.

55This spot is great! It was easy to find with the hosts directions, very clean, private, and fences were exactly where you would want them to be. It was a warm day, so the water and chairs were appreciated. We also found a ball that added to all the fun! It’s still there for the next sniffer to find! Can’t wait to come back!

It was a warm day, so the water and chairs were appreciated. We also found a ball that added to all the fun! It’s still there for the next sniffer to find! Can’t wait to come back!

55This was our first time trying out Sniffspot and we enjoyed Paul’s spot! Our GSD had fun romping around the trails and exploring all the smells. We appreciated the fresh (and cool, despite how hot it was outside!!) water for our pup. We did not see areas where our dog could have successfully exited the sniffspot, in case anyone is worried about that. Do plan for this to be more of a spot to roam the trails than to throw a ball. As you would expect for the area, the growth alongside the trails includes blackberry bushes (read: thorns), so beware your pup’s paws if they veer off course. And if you go in the evening, bring some bug spray! ;)

FAQ about our Des Moines 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.

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.
