55The farm is so amazing! My two dogs absolutely loved their time there and we will definitely be back. My swimmer dog loved the swimming hole! I always say tired dogs are good dogs and my dogs were exhausted after their time at the farm. Looking forward to our next visit already.Ann C.

55Clear and helpful signage (with some cute decorations) led us right up to the sniffspot with an already lit campfire! Short pretty trails for lots of sniffing, small open grassy area too. The s’mores kit, water, and toys were an extra bonus to an already great spot. We had a great time and just beat the rain! Athina M.

55Autumn is here, and the trails are absolutely beautiful with all the fall foliage! On the chilly, wet days there's a lovely firepit ready to keep you warm and complementary towels for the pups. Woodland Tranquility sniffspot is very accommodating for this season, and provides a wonderful aesthetic for the outdoor lovers. Our pup loves to play frisbee, and the open yard spece is perfect for it! Tia H.

55I had a little trouble finding the sniff spot but that was my fault for not writing down the directions and only following my GPS there. GPS spun us around a few times but we finally found it. I brought my eldest, more adventurous dog here alone to scope it out before we brought the whole pack and he had a great time. The trails are nice and easy to navigate, not much to worry about tripping over etc, and I deemed it safe enough to come back with the rest of my dogs another day. We had a ton of fun here and will definitely be returning. Ryn W.

55Beautiful spot on a beautiful fall day! Our pup had so much fun running ahead of us on the trail and even enjoyed a quick dip in the stream. Thank you for the clean, fun spot to play!LINDSAY K.

55Erin’s spot was so pretty and well maintained. The trail is trimmed well and has a stream that our dogs enjoyed playing into, I could see my dog exploring and enjoying the nature at her sniffspot. Not only they have multiple routes for you to enjoy (1 rep took 20 mins or so), she prepared doggy bags, few toys, water for pups, and fireplace for humans to stay warm! Susie K.

55Wow! This spot is so amazing and has so much thought put into it. They have signs that help you navigate through the various trails so you don't get turned around. It looks like you are pulling up into someone's yard but it's just the house and garage on property and you if you feel comfortable you can just open your car and let your dog run. We closed the gate just in case my naughty terrier got any bad ideas but she didn't even go that direction. I felt comfortable letting my girl run free in a non fully fenced area as most of the property has little boundary fences. There is an area at the very top of the property that isn't fenced and I think it leads to someone else's property but I was able to redirect back to the trails. You can stay on upper trails and not have a whole lot of up and downs. I don't know if the trails would be suitable for senior of disabled dogs though but you could definitely stay below with them. I absolutely 100% will book again and wish every spot was this amazing, private, and well thought out! Thank you so much for sharing ❤ Melissa C.

55This place is great! The trails are beautiful and it’s very private. My dog is reactive to other dogs so this was a perfect alternative to a hike so he could get exercise! The fire pit and s’mores were an awesome addition too! We’ll be going back for sure! Tiffany M.

55This was a perfect spot for our high energy, scent oriented dog. He could run and explore in wooded areas, and chase a ball in the small meadow. We did some scent work with both dogs while I worked with the younger one on off leash obedience. Definitely glad we closed the gate in the way in. While he could still have gotten out, it was enough to keep him moving back into the more secure area. Great workout for all of us!Tracy J.

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.

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.

FAQ about our Kalama 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.
