55This was a great location for moose’s first sniff spot adventure! She romped though the creek and checked out every inch of the property. The property was clean, safe and a lot of fun ! 2 waste baskets for dog waste on the top and bottom which was great ! Alexys G.

55My dogs had so much fun here. I loved the variation in terrain with a creek, the little trail up the hill, and the grassy areas. My nervous dog really had the time of her life. 100% recommend.susan e.

55Perfect spot to cool off on a hot summer day! Our pup enjoyed splashing around in the creek, which had some shade near it in the late afternoon. There is a nice variety in terrain here (creek, field area, raised walkway, shaded forest area in the back) that kept us busy exploring.Ashley M.

55Lovely spot to exercise your dog on a hot day! My dog, Gus, absolutely loved the open space to play ball and the creek to cool off in between spurts.Joanna C.

55Our fave sniffspot in Portland area. My dog & her doggy BFF had a great time running around the property & playing in the stream. Plenty of room to sniff, explore & play chase. Also the stream runs both at the front of the yard & on the side of the yard so dogs get tons of water time. My dog doesn’t have great recall but the fencing is secure enough that I don’t have to worry about her escaping (she’s never been interested in following the stream outside the property). If it’s summer/dry then you can wear tennis shoes on property but if raining recently or wet season then definitely wear mud proof shoes.Laura F.

55Peaceful and beautiful, this place is really breathtaking. A friend recommended and glad to have chosen this one for our first sniffspot experience, Several footpaths lead to different destinations. There is a myriad of fascinating and thrilling places to discover. Sam enjoys cooling himself in the fresh creek water after playing fetch, strolling, and practicing recall, he has no interest running off or chasing after the flowing stream. Would highly recommend it; we will go back again and again.Xandra L.

55I have a Pit/Hound mix and he just turned 1.
He has the most insane energy I've ever seen.
I take him to tons of parks and this is by far the best experience I've ever had.
I am so grateful for the people who love dogs enough to open their homes to us like this.Justyce S.

55This place is great! I am a first time sniff spot user and I couldn't be more pleased. The area was clean and laid out well. My dog (who has never been off leash before outside of his yard) was over the moon. He played in the little creek non-stop! It is just the right size/depth for dog play and there are sunny and shady areas. The surrounding trees kept traffic noise totally buffered. It is so nice to finally have a place where a super reactive dog can be, without me on constant alert for potential problems. We will definitely be back!Margaret C.

55What easy directions to such a beautiful, quiet oasis. For those of us who can’t afford a yard, it was beyond needed and a perfect spot for Coda to get to snorkel, lose his ball, find a ball, bound about and get sone training in. I wish we could go every day. Thank you.Hilary L.
