We live on 15 acres, and now have 1.5 acres fully fenced! It is all very flat land making for an easy stroll with your dogs. We are boarded on two edges by farm fields and two edges by neighbors. There is a trail that circles the property, with plenty of space to explore. During the summer, please take advantage of the small kiddie pool. There are also toys and chairs in the fenced area for all guests. Some seasonal things to keep in mind: Spring/fall when we have heavy rain, some areas could have standing water and/or be muddy. Mid to late summer, there are fox tails (cheat grass) that can cling to your dogs. Winter, the trails might not be plowed. There will be a 5gal bucket in the wood shed (inside the fenced area) full of water you can use to refill the two water bowls. Keep an eye out for trip hazards! Logs, sticks, uneven ground and holes.

Ray's Private Dog Park In Edwall

Partially Fenced

50 acres

The 50 acres is mostly timber, with a 7 acre pond that has water in it most of the year. It will dry up on really hot years. I do have chickens and pack goats by the house. But they are inside mesh fencing, so your dogs won’t be able to get to them. The 50 acres is completely fenced with a 3 to 5 strand Barbwire fence. It’s in good shape. It is also the property boundary. So as long as you stay inside of the fence, you will be on the property. There are not a lot of neighbors but the ones I have are nice. When you come up the driveway, you can pass the house and drive up on the hill and Park at the conex container. There is lots of wildlife on the property, and I highly recommend that your dog has some sort of tick repellent, we do have ticks in the spring time. The upper part of the driveway is not graveled, so if there’s melting snow, or a lot of ran, it can get muddy. So be prepared for that. I hope you enjoy the property as much as we do. ***ALL PRICES LISTED ARE IN USD***

So much fun!!! My boy and I had so much fun exploring the trails. Everything is clearly labeled with signs directing you to where the designated sniffspot area is and how to get back to the parking lot (huge help if you're like me and get lost easily 😅)

My dogs had an absolute blast sprinting and exploring the property. The area is very clearly marked, fenced where needed. Multiple spots to hang out. Highly recommend, will definitely come back.

The place has a great path to walk around, open space for fetch, and wooded areas for sniffing. Truly has it all! Super well marked and equipped. There are a few tents for resting, towels, balls, and water. Could not ask for more.

Such a lovely place to spend time with my three dogs! This was my first spot/time using Sniffspot and it didn’t disappoint. Trails were properly marked. There were places for the dogs to get water. Easy to find via google maps and park. There was an open pasture area that had toys, rocks, seating area with a fire pit, water station and wide open spaces for the dogs to play. Will definitely come back here again thank you so much for making the space available :)

Pros: natural wooded area with groomed trail. Feels private and supplies were provided, if needed. Covered area available. There is DNR trails available off the property. Pond and running stream. Cons: We did hear gun shots, quite loud, during our time so decided to leave a little early. This cannot be controlled by the property owners, understood, we just got unlucky. I also did not read about loose domestic (black /and white) rabbits close to the mentioned aviary bird enclosure (we saw 4 running around), in the description. This scared me, as I do own a dog with high prey drive. His recall is decent but if he gets predatory drift I cannot call him off killing critters. He was kept on leash after we saw the rabbits so less off leash time. Luckily he didn’t get to these rabbits as my friend ahead of me warned me. If I knew about this prior I would not have booked. Overall, the area available to us seemed smaller than listed 20 acres.

Dogs had an amazing time at Black Pond! This spot is great with all of the different things it has to offer…..trails, fields, free roaming, etc. My pups brought their cousins along to show off the SniffSpot. The host was incredible at letting us know that a dump truck was dropping something off nearing our departure time so we stayed in the field playing for a few extra minutes! So nice to have a host that understands the special needs of our pets. It was a fun activity to do pre- Thanksgiving…..dogs were exhausted on Thanksgiving which allowed everyone to rest. Will definitely be back.

This was a great spot. More than enough room to run for our pups. It was pretty wet when we visited (PNW winter, ha) so I really appreciated the towels being provided to dry them off. Ample signage and clear instructions meant we had no doubt where to go. We'll be back again for sure.

My dogs always love their time here. A well kept property, streams, pond, a canopy to duck under when it’s pouring. The dogs love running through the old growth and we like to hit the trails.

Black Farm Pond is quickly becoming our favorite Sniffspot. Tim has lots of clear signage throughout his property that lets you know where you’re going and how to return to the parking area, which is extremely helpful on such a large property. The tent set-ups at Club Zoomies and by the pond have been very nice during this rainy weather. The only note is that it does get quite dark by 4 pm (winter season), so I’d recommend bringing a headlamp or flashlight if you’re visiting past that time. Overall, I think Black Pond Farm is great!

wonderful farm！had a good walk with dog for about 45minutes with a bit stretch into the public forest area. Clear sign. Pup went nuts walking with us through the trails.

The place was a great little hike through the woods with ponds and creeks 😊 my doggos love the water!! We will visit again

Hannah K.

This place is the best!! My dog loooooves to sniff and explore and track scents but she’s reactive so hiking can be stressful for her (and me). This is an amazing place to let her just be a dog without any worries. Had to keep her on leash because her penchant for tracking overrides her recall training every time but she still had the best adventure. Thank you so much for creating this space and we will definitely be back!!!

This was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last. It’s a very well kept trail and everything is clearly marked. Our dogs weren’t the only ones who enjoyed their time, we did too. There were also convenient times available to book. We look forward to coming back here!

We had a nice frolic on Christmas morning. Lots of running around and got to say hello to one of the horses from across the fence. Well marked signs, and the host left us a holiday gift for the pups!

Our favorite sniff spot! Our lab loves to swim and our chiweenie loves to play fetch so it’s a perfect combo of both for them

Such a nice secluded spot! Very easy to navigate the trails and is even connected to public lands that you can go further out on. My dogs had a great time zooming around a new place :)

Great little adventure for our dog who is having a reactive week. Sniff spot owners have done an excellent job with communicating all necessary information and creating a fun environment. Will return.

FAQ about our Elk 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.

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.
