55Very quiet, very out of the way. As a Labrador, Murphy loved splashing in the pond and creeks. We did encounter some folks on horses, as warned in the description but it was in the shared trail.Paul B.

55Visited on a sunny day and even more beautiful. If you take the trail to ‘forbidden trail’ and continue, you can hike on for quite a way. We walked for 30 minutes and then headed back.Elizabeth R.

55Made the drive up from Seattle and made a day of it! What a perfect afternoon getting to enjoy and explore this beautiful space. We kept our guy on a long line and he had a blast. Enjoyed exploring the forbidden path and felt like we could keep going forever. Definitely going to come back and book extra time! Jaimisa & Yelias G.

55Welp this is just about the most fun place ever, imagine being able to go for a hike with your baby and not worry about running into others? (Well we did see a rider on a horse but they were incredibly easy to avoid and it was just the one) Place is so huge we almost got lost in the woods but there are signs that definitely help. Was able to set up a blanket and have lunch while my dog romped and played instead of using the picnic tables by the zoom zone. The creeks and ponds are just breathtakingly beautiful. I think I’m just as obsessed with this place as my pup is, who is passed the heck out right now from our adventure. Kristyn S.

55Had a wonderful time exploring the trails with our off-leash pup. Great opportunity to reinforce her recall skills. Such a surprise to find a bottle of bubbles... Our pup LUVS bubbles. :-)
Looking forward to many more visits.

55Very nice spot that the owners have put a lot of care into. Felt a little restrictive and confusing in terms of access- lots of signs telling you where you could go and couldn’t go and some of the side trails led to private areas that weren’t marked, so we ended up in some of the areas we weren’t supposed to be in (specifically side trail near the first pond). It was a little limited in that sense and not truly 20 acres and that was disappointing. But a very nice spot nonetheless. Also GPS doesn’t send you to the right address, so be aware of that before you go.
Also could hear hear neighboring dogs barking, so be aware of that- I about had a heart attack thinking they were going to come into the yard because my boy is dog aggressive!Christina B.

55Another wonderful trip. The trail makes it feel like you are off leash hiking and club zoomies is perfect for lots of fetch. The dogs did a lot of swimming in the upper pond today and had the best time.Tina P.

55What a delightful place for dogs and humans alike! Such well maintained trails, magnificent scenery, plenty of sticks to amuse my 2 year old GSD and inspiration for this human’s soul. We loved the waggy tail chill out spot and being able to see the horse in the pasture. Beautiful! We will be back! Juliette H.

55If I could give 10 stars I would! We had a marvelous time walking the trails, swimming in the pond, looking for squirrels and exploring. Super clean and quiet, and stunningly beautiful. We did not see another person or dog ( yay!!), but did see the well fenced horses. Thank you so much. We will be back!!!Theresa T.

55I have been here a few times now, and it is truly a treat each time we visit. The trails at Black Pond Farm are sniff worthy and endless! One hour really isn't enough to enjoy this spot, it will leave you wanting more. Bonus treat for the mushroom lovers is that these trails are packed with unique mushies around every corner just waiting to be discovered. Thank you Preston and Black Pond Farm fam for sharing your beautiful corner of the world. Chelsea B.

Are dog hiking trails safe?

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.
