55This is a dog paradise! There a different trails all over the property to explore and plenty of space for your pooch to run around and play. The owners even provided treats, water, and a waste disposal bin. If I could give 6 stars I would!Mike B.

55We had a wonderful time. I appreciate they always check in before a visit and I was happy to find a skiff of snow on the ground. This spot is wonderful for letting yours dogs run. My two love to run on all the trails and then recall for a treat before continuing. This is the perfect spot for it. There was a bit of shooting from the space next door and some fresh wild animal smells. We loved our time.Tina P.

55A lovely property with well maintained trails! The hosts were considerate and sent me a message beforehand letting me know the weather/temp which was greatly appreciated. We did hear shooting and dogs but they were far enough away to not be a bother. Jaquie K.

55This was our favorite sniffspot so far. The dogs enjoyed the well maintained trails. The meadows were wide open to allow for playing with a ball. We especially liked that there were dog treats, poop bags and water available. On a clear day the Mountain View’s would be epic. Even the peekaboo scenes we were getting in between rain and fog were lovely. 10/10 recommend. Kara C.

55Such a great spot! From The signs, treats, water, and trail map, everything was so thoughtful. We had such a fun and relaxing time, and scored some great views on a clear afternoon too. My pup was incredibly happy and so were all of us.Rebekah S.

55Easy to find, great communication with hosts, and everything was well marked. I really appreciated the great map and signs. Our dogs and we had a great time in the open meadow and on the well maintained paths winding through the woods. The forest service road was a little close to one loop of the trails, but easy to avoid that loop. There was fresh water (and treats) close to the parking as well as a container for poop disposal. Very clean, with great views. Quiet and, even though the host's home is on one side of the meadow, it felt very private. We would love to return!Kate S.

55Took my two sheppies here today. It’s absolutely beautiful. The small touches did not go unnoticed. They had a treat jar, water bowl and poop bags. Also, they had many signs that made it easy to navigate the place. Ashley P.

55This was my very first experience using sniffspot and I can’t imagine any other spot being able to compare! It was BEAUTIFUL!! Clean, accommodating, easy to find and clearly marked parking. My favorite part was incredible views and the adorably named trails and meadows. My dog loved the fresh water and peaceful atmosphere. Jack and Gayle were great communicators which really eased my mind about my visit. We can’t wait to go back again and again!Sarah G.

5517 Acres is a wonderful dog walking spot. It's just beautiful with lovely trails and great mountain views. The trails are clearly marked. The weather was a bit dicey when we went because it had just snowed. Gayle was wonderful about communicating with me about the conditions near their place, etc. We ended up having a lovely Christmas Eve walk in the snow. A good experience all around and worth the drive.Connie M.

55This place was awesome. I read a ton of reviews of many other properties before landing on trying out this one. There was great signage, to know where I was and what trails to go on. The trails were very nice. Zero mud, which all the other places had tons of mud in the reviews. My dog was clean when we left. She had a blast exploring the woodsy trails and especially loved their meadow. For sure going back here! Treats, bags and water at the entrance! Bonus! Also, easy to park here. Heather D.

55What a wonderful Sniffspot! It was easy to find with the sign and we really enjoyed walking the trails, which were also well sign posted. The clouds cleared a little so we got to see the beautiful scenery. Our dog was so happy running off leash in the snow! We will definitely book this Sniffspot again, especially when we explore more of the Mountain Loop Highway area in the spring and summer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of earth, Gayle & Jack!Imee T.

FAQ about our Granite Falls 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 Granite Falls?
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.
