55Such an incredible Sniffspot. You need days to explore it all. My dog had an incredible time! I brought my bike to get a lay of the land and highly recommend that your first time. There’s also a map of the property in the box on the picnic table near the entrance.Laura T.

55We consistently have a great experience at this spot. My dog's favorite thing (next to string cheese) is to go on a woodland sniffari, and this place is like heaven to him. It's also pleasant for the humans, too, including plenty of Adirondack chairs for when you want a break from the trails, a covered picnic table, and a portapotty. That last amenity is especially appreciated, since we have a bit of a drive to get to the spot and we always book a couple of hours. This place is definitely worth the drive and the price.Kristin O.

55This was a great spot! My German shepherd had lots of room to stretch his legs. It was a little confusing knowing where to park as it's just a big grassy lawn when you pull up. It was also confusing know where we were and were not allowed to be as some of the trails lead to other camping spots and to a dirt road that had quite a few cars going by on it, which could pose a safety issue since dogs are off leash. Luckily you can hear cars coming down the road so I had time to make sure my dog was secured and no one was pulling into where we were. Overall it's a nice spot with a few short trails with lots of shade and a great grassy area to play fetch.Alex B.

55I guess we have always come on or near inclement weather times because today we actually discovered the real trails that go on and on and on! For miles maybe? It was so fun twisting through the gorgeous forest trails past the last campsite. I always wondered if we were missing something! Thank you for a beautiful day! Carrie R.

55We’ve missed being here! After a tick scare we held off on coming during the summer months and didn’t have time to make the drive here. It’s just as amazing as it’s always been. So much fun for the girls to run around and do dog things in a safe environment.Yuki -.

55This spot is great. So many trails to explore and very secluded. It was very easy to locate. The dogs really enjoyed running the trails, swimming in the stream, and playing with the big jolly ball. We will definitely be back. Chelsea B.

55I would give this place 5++++ stars if I could! LITERALLY A DREAM COME TRUE! We took BOTH of our dogs, and our little human, to this Sniffspot and would definitely come back! Our very reactive Rhodesian Mix had the time of her life running around this amazing location, with the trees, sniffs, and sounds! Our golden LOVED the wetlands and dove right in, as did our toddler. This place is SO well taken care of, maintained, and safe. Definitely will be coming back! What a TREAT! Hyebin D.

55We’ve been waiting forever for the Sniffspot to open again!! We spent a magical 2 hours with our 7 year old GoldenBoy and 6 year old Rhodesian Mix girl and 4 year old humans. So many sniffs for the dogs and trails too!! Make sure to bring mud boots for some portions of the trail! Hyebin D.

55Such a beautiful property with so much room to run and explore! Host was super responsive and patient when we had navigational challenges in the beginning 😄. You start at the first campsite after passing the house and there’s a map in the box on the picnic table there to help guide you. Waterproof hiking boots were a good choice to enjoy both the woodland trails and the ones through the wetlands. We didn’t have any issues with ticks or mosquitoes. There’s a great little swimming hole off the creek where one of my dogs actually swam for the first time! There are also some very sweet and social horses in that area behind a fence who came up to say hi. A gravel road does pass close to a few of the trails so use caution if your dogs don’t have good car sense or good recall. Cars drive slow and you can hear them coming from pretty far away so we felt perfectly comfortable. There is so much to see and do. We got our 10k steps in and the dogs are happily exhausted. There is no other Sniffspot like this in the area. We will definitely be back!Chad H.

55Beautiful area, very spacious, well kept trails. The only time I've worried that we might be late leaving because we were having so much fun. My pup had a blast exploring the small hiking only trails and while forested, there's enough wide open meadows to play a game of fetch. We'll definitely be back! Nicole Y.

FAQ about our Shelton 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.
