55We absolutely loved this place! John and his wife were so sweet and welcoming. The dogs had a lot of fun running and exploring. The trails had cute names and there were many new things for our dogs to experience, like seeing farm animals and playing in the water. Ana A.

55Our dog loved this property! Lots of room to run, explore and play fetch! Directions were exact, and everything was clearly marked. There was a sitting area, some toys, poop bags and a trash on site. Would definitely recommend and would come back! Alex S.

55It is so worth the trip. The host has thought of everything to make you feel like a true guest on their property. From water in a few places, chairs, extra leashes. Our dogs enjoyed running and exploring especially the creek. Thank you and we look forward to coming again real soon. Susan S.

55This was our first time at this sniffspot and we will definitely be back. We brought our 3 and 8 year old pups and they both had a great time and were tired by the end of our stay. There"s plenty of trail to roam and explore, a small stream and plenty of area to throw a ball although my pups just spent their time sniffing and walking the trails. Area is very well maintained and easy trail access. While we didnt meet our Sniffspot host, she was very kind thru email and easy, quick communication. Thanks for having us. We will be back again.

55Absolutely beautiful! Brenda is great and had everything well marked. If you want to escape the city this is the place! The trails through the forest were easy to follow and our pups had so many things to explore and smell. No people, no dogs, no noise just you your pups and the sounds and smells of nature. It was wonderful! Highly recommend.Denise R.

55We have visited the sister site, Black Pond Farm, so we were excited when the owners opened up this spot! It's much smaller but still a wonderful area. An hour was sufficient for a very leisurely stroll and some great sniffs. At one point my dogs even got the zoomies and did a few laps in the open area! The hosts are very thoughtful and have poop bags, bug spray, CLEAN water for the dogs, camp chairs, etc. There's a small cottage on-site they're refurbishing, and one of my dogs definitely ran up the front steps and waited at the door, thinking that was our destination. Haha!Kristina M.

55This is a great spot with an open area for fetch, several wooded/shaded areas for roaming and more host provided amenities than any other spot i've been to. The hosts were great about signing the location and provided several sitting areas, water, and other items that could come in handy. They did great work maximizing trails for their lot, their are several options allowing for my dogs to have a full two hours of active engagement with all the sights and smells. I wish they would stay still long enough for me to take more than one picture, but i see that as a testament to how much fun they were having.Gerrit V.

55Panda and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to this spot on a rainy day. He loves nothing more than to be in a forest, run through the underbrush, and sniff everything (especially after the rain). Barbara L.

55Such a pretty space! We had so much fun today running around the trails and Cooper was so happy splashing around in the creek. Such peaceful woods and a really nice place to roam around without a care in the world. We've been here a few times before and every time is better than the last. ♥Susan D.

55Such a great day! Brenda was very nice, Sophie had a great time and it was well worth the trip out there. It took about 50 minutes from North Seattle.
Sophie can't interact with other dogs, so this was a perfect place to practice hiking with a lead and practice recall. I was reluctant to let her off the lead because it said it wasn't fully fenced but I think it would be fine next time now that we know the place. We'll definitely be back!!!🐾
(Included a blurry picture because she was running around having so much fun, I couldn't get a pic in focus!!) 😊Shawna M.

FAQ about our Lacey 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.
