55WOW. This is the most amazing Sniffspot. A true gem with so much space to explore, without worrying about other dogs/people. Even though I’m not located close to this spot, I will still make the drive again just for my pups to enjoy the amazing trails and smells.Kelley W.

55This is such a great place. It has quickly become one of our favorites. There are plenty of interesting trails to easily occupy us for an hour. Love the extra amenities too, like all the various seating areas and the port a potty. Bonnie B.

55Beautiful property. The trails are fabulous and my pointer and her two furry friends loved it. We did have a mishap at the beginning as Peggy ended up outside of the fence at the end of the ‘Bumpety Road’ which exits out to 84th. She tends to run ahead of me (which is typical of German Shorthaired pointers) though has good recall. She’s not typically a fence jumper but somehow she ended up outside of the fence. Luckily she stayed there when called and I climbed over the gate, leashed her up and we came back in the entrance on 86th. We then just avoided that side of the trails and didn’t have any other issues. My friend had two dogs - one stayed with us and the other - a hound - was a bit too hard to keep track of in there as his recall isn’t good so he went back to the car after 30 minutes. I’d say it’s an excellent place so long as your dog tends to stick close by or has good recall. Now that we’ve done it and know the trails a bit, we will be back!Carrie T.

55This is our favorite local spot! It’s really simple - just nice easy trails with lots of opportunities for sniffs, zooms, and chewing on sticks. There are lots of trails and they all lead back to the main trail where the car is parked which makes it easy to navigate. The dogs love it!Ashley G.

55We always have a great time here. My dog loves exploring all the beautiful trails. I recommend keeping a lead on your dog though when walking on Woofey Way up to the fencing bordering the neighbor’s homes. On occasion, like on this visit, the fencing is bent down and dogs can get through it. The host is very responsive and does fix things right away when notified. Overall, this is a great spot and we return to it often.Bonnie B.

FAQ about our Gig Harbor 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 can I find dog hiking trails in Gig Harbor?
There are 13 dog hiking trails in the Gig Harbor area. The most popular dog hiking trail is The Woods of Spadoni Hill. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.
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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Gig Harbor area range from $6.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Matthew's 5.6 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Centralia. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Evergreen Oasis. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
