55wonderful spot. very warm and inviting host.
the sniff was clean and so well taken care of. Felt wonderful to let our dogs loose to explore in a safe place away from reactive off leash dogs. it was very freeing. we have a deaf dog who is also partially blind. she gets nervous around strange dogs. so for her to explore safely with our dogs was wonderful.

55Great visit. We really love this place rain or shine. John & Stephanie are such amazing, attentive hosts and true animal lovers. Awesome trails, a creek and loads to explore. Cooper is heaven here. ☆☆☆☆☆Susan D.

55This was our first SniffSpot experience and it was truly 5 star!
We were greeted warmly by the hosts and their goats! John led us through a gated pasture with goats, hens, bunnies, and 2 highland cattle which was a great experience for our dog (on leash) and us! Once in Spring Acres, it’s off leash and we had so much fun exploring! The trail system was very well maintained with clever trail signs made of wood. There is a very cute cabin under construction at the center of all the trails and John said we were welcome to sit on the deck and hang out. I wish I would have packed a lunch for us since I booked two hours. A few of the trails were muddy due to the recent rain, but the nearby streams were a great place for Bentley to wade in and wash off. My husband, daughter and I enjoyed hiking and exploring the trails as much as Bentley did! Great day! Jayne M.

55Nice location, very private and easy to find from the directions! The amenities were great… didnt get to try out the fire pit due to rain but maybe next time. My pups loved it! One of them is a little reactive at dog parks so this was a great option for them to run and explore the trails. Chrissy M.

55This place is beautiful!! Perfect for my dogs to strech their legs after a day of driving/sightseeing before heading to the hotel. We loved it!!Lonna M.

55Fantastic Sniffspot with a fantastic host! Nice fire already going with s’mores makings! I was almost as excited as the pups! Very well kept trails to wander that my pup loved running and exploring on. Enough open space to play fetch while not exploring. My dog did wander around one area of the fence, but she figured out to go back the way she came to get back to me. Nice private feeling Sniffspot, didn’t hear any other dogs barking or human noise. Host makes you feel very welcome with lots of amenities. Definitely recommend checking it out!Kevin N.

55Today upon our arrival I realized that I had forgotten all of the water for both our dogs and ourselves. Poor timing as it was already in the 80's at 9am! However, we found (ice cold!) water bottles for the humans and plenty of water for our dogs - such a relief! We had a great time playing with our dogs!Erika P.

55Lovely and private, with space for parking a couple of cars and nice loopy trails for wandering. The supplied dog water jug and bowl was great, as were the extra amenities like a garbage can for poop bags and bug spray. This would be a great place to bring a picnic lunch in the future!Joy A.

55OK so this place is absolutely lovely. Perfect spot for a tranquil retreat with your pups. We walked the trails, then played frisbee, and had a picnic. The property is thoughtfully supplied with everything you need or might have forgotten to bring. It is well maintained and the description is spot on. We will for sure be back!Victoria D.

55Beautiful spot with a number of forested trails and a beautiful grassy yard. Pups were exhausted after all the running and sniffing. It was so peaceful. We didn't see or hear anyone. There was ample water, a dog bag trash can and chairs spread out around the property. The pups and I highly recommend!Cherilyn C.

55This was such a beautiful spot! I met possible adopters for my foster. They got to see her run and play and just have so much fun. They were talking about going back again and renting for a couple hours and bringing a picnic. They loved it so much. I'd go by myself it was such a nice quiet respite. It is only partially fenced so if your pup doesn't have good recall choose the fully fenced option they offer. Water, garbage and toys were available. Definitely highly recommend!Kelley A.

55We had a fabulous time off leash and no one to bother us. It was rural but very nice. Enjoyed all the paths, grass areas and wooded areas. Are berry’s off the bushes and apples of the trees. Sat on the grass and enjoyed the peace and quite with my dog. Derya M.

55Great place for a little hike in the woods! I felt comfortable letting my dog with a marginal recall off leash there, as it is fairly secluded. We all had a wonderful time! Janiece M.

55Our dog loved running around all the trails. It's not so large a property to be overwhelming and she learned where the water was and would head back for a drink, as it was pretty warm when we visited. The whole property is on a gentle slope, the trails go uphill. The creek was dry in early September, but it looks like it will be a lot of fun for a spring or later fall visit. Property was clean. We saw no signs of poo. Kristina V.

FAQ about our Hoodsport 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.
