55This is an amazing SniffSpot. Grace is so friendly and warm. She provided a cute welcom sign and some treats for us and our pup. The entire property is fenced so we didnt have to worry about other dogs. We loved wandering the trails and checking out the different cabins. Mosley loved playing in the water. We even got to help socialize Mosely with the goats in a safe environment. I was also excited to buy a dozen fresh eggs which I never get to do living in the city. We are looking forward to our next visit to this SniffSpot and we will make sure to say HELLO to Grace. 🙂Beth M.

55Thanks Grace for a wonderful reprieve from today’s heat. Lil enjoyed drinking from the cold river and we enjoyed your pristine, cool wilderness. I especially enjoyed listening to far off sounds of goats and chickens! Thanks for introducing yourself and explaining the layout of your spot.Jill and Cinder L.

55Another great visit! This is definitely our favorite sniff spot, already booked again. Lots of space to run off leash and fully fenced so don't have to worry as we work on recall. I forgot to bring water and a bowl this time but Host had water and a bowl available, very thoughtful. Thanks again for sharing your lovely property, we look forward to many future visits.Teresa W.

55This spot is incredible! The pups loved romping in the creek, exploring some trails, and getting muddy! There are some very steep areas and a few parts that could become slippery after rain. Grace was so kind and greeted us and showed us the area. We had a blast and can't wait to return! Thank you!!Allisyn R.

55Absolutely incredible location! The hike up the steep mountain is totally worth the gorgeous open areas for playing with your dogs. The stream is perfect for cooling off and washing off the mud from the adjacent mudpit. The dogs were very happy and tired! Christine S.

55This place is one of a kind ! We spent 2 hours exploring this special spot . Our 8 month old puppy told us this was the best day ever. He chased butterflies and ran until we made him leave . Our only regret was not bringing a picnic. Grace is a kind and considerate host who clearly wants to provide a unique sniffspot experience for all dogs and their owners ! ann w.

55Absolutely beautiful and fully-fenced spot. Was a joy to kill a couple of hours tromping around with a very happy dog. Plenty of incline to play uphill fetch and there's even a small creek if your pup is inclined to take a dip. Some goats visible right when you first enter which was a non-issue for us and you can hear the occasional barn fowl. No people other than our very friendly and accommodating host. Would heartily recommend and encourage you to pack some bug spray on overcast days 💛Meghan B.

55We loved this Sniffspot! Grace was such a gracious host and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The property was huge and had tons of space for my dog and I to roam around for 2 solid hours. It was also the perfect place for us to practice our trail manners in a safe environment. Per the listing’s description we did hear gunshots from the neighboring properties (hunting! Don’t worry!) and it was an amazing training opportunity for us. We will definitely be back!Najla H.

55This was our second time at this spot and our dog absolutely loved it. He ran around like crazy and even jumped in the water today - he is not a water dog. Tired himself out in about 45 minutes and let us know he was ready to go. we love it here so much that we booked our next visit while still there. Thank you Grace for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!! Lisa R.

FAQ about our Ferndale 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.

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.
