55Great spot! When you pull into driveway, turn through yard over to Pasture on the right. Drive in and close gate. Well fenced and lots of toys in yard to discover. Horses in next field, very mellow. Beth B.

55This is a great spot, and only 10 minutes from the west end of the St. John’s bridge! Perfect for some intense games of fetch, and our dogs loved sniffing around. The fencing is very secure, grass is short enough to not lose the ball, the spot is fairly flat for humans that might not want as much of a work out as their dogs, and everything is very simple :) the neighbors do have a dog who was out barking at the fence while we were there—the spot was big enough that we kept to the other end and our dogs weren’t bothered. The wetland area is fairly small and is shallow, our dogs loved playing in it (and no trouble with cockle burrs for our short-haired dogs)!Hannah B.

55Great large open space. We were warmly welcomed since it was our first visit.
Be careful of tripping hazards as like most fields there are some gophers or moles active here.
I love it being wide open. Directions were easy and accurate. We’ll be back! Thanks!Lisa W.

55Perfect property for reactive dogs! It is removed from high traffic areas, and just a great place for your pup to roam around without too much stimuli! The fencing was secure, but honestly, Birdie was in such pure bliss that she didn’t even want to find a way out, there was so much land to sniff! Lilli G.

55Fantastic spot on Sauvie Island - just a short drive from the bridge off the 30. It's as described and is probably my favorite SniffSpot so far. Ample space that seems to be quite secure (I didn't feel the need to scan the entire perimeter) and was easily able to keep my 56 pound belgian malinois mix inside the designated area. Hachi and I had a lot of fun there today, Saturday, 2/25/23. I plan to be back on the regular. Thanks, Kris!Christopher H.

55What a great sniffspot! It’s completely fenced in. Plenty of room to run and play fetch, plenty of things to sniff. Great for training or working on recall.  The owner came out and greeted us and was super friendly. Aneesah R.

55Large, flat, clean and beautiful open fully fenced pasture on Sauvie Island with a few balls/toys and water for the dogs. Our dogs had a blast.
Kris was very accommodating by allowing us to pospone our first scheduled visit due to an unexpected snow storm and helped us to reschedule for the following week.
Thanks Kris for sharing your beautiful property with us!

55Nice quiet location and lots of space for your reactive dog to run around safely. There was a gap big enough for a determined small dog to slip through at one of the gates. My dog is 15 lbs and could’ve totally gone through it if she wanted to, but there was lots of space and smells to keep her from doing so. If your dog is 20 lbs or over it’s 100% secure! She had tons of fun and we’d definitely visit again. Samantha H.

55nice quiet space for the dogs to explore, convenient parking, pretty views. google maps seemed to have a hard time pinning this address down - lol - and i tried to rely on it too much. the painted wooden panels off rhe road and large painted “sniff” further in were giveaways but i passed them by twice following my map instead of my eyes. glad someone came out to direct me across the field through the next gate before i closed the main gate! 🤦🏽♀️ for sure plenty of signs of the water fowl and horse apples on our loop around…my cattle dog mix really enjoyed the flooded area! i would definitely prefer not dealing with so much animal poop but i see that warning on here now. 😁garnet e.

55The area is, simply put, fantastic. My dog Enzo got to experience a massive flock of geese circling overhead, which he found to be super fun! Yes, it is a bit muddy in spots but it is the PNW in winter muddiness was a given, so we just made sure to bring a towel to wipe our paws and dry off when we were done.Alex D.

55Have been here a few times now and have always had a good experience. You’re able to pull your car into the spot which is really nice, no need to leash your dog up and walk them in. Tons of space to sniff and roam in a beautiful area.
There was one low spot in the fence that made me a little nervous, but my dog wasn’t able to get out. There seems to be hot wire, but I’m not sure if it’s kept on.
The neighbors have a dog who likes to come over and bark, so if your dog is very reactive that may be an issue, but my reactive collie wasn’t as bothered as I thought. There’s space between the two yards that they can’t get to each other.
All in all, a nice big spot, kept clean, with lots of toys! Will continue returning 🤠 Victoria P.

55This is such a convenient spot for anyone visiting the island for river time or fishing/birdwatching! I can run my dogs and not worry about encountering others. I did see a neighbor dog but mine were fine ignoring it. Beautiful views and tons of space to play ball, too! Lea H.

55Absolutely one of our favorite places. The dogs love it - it’s spacious and interesting and beautiful. I’m so grateful that my dogs have the opportunity to run and play like other - less barky/growlie - pups. I can see the joy in them as they bound through this lovely parcel of land, so generously shared. Jaimee K.

55Wonderful open grassy field to throw the ball! We had fun watching the birds, listening to frogs in the adjacent pond and stretching our legs :) picnic table and toy basket were lovely additions. There was a dog in the neighboring yard, heads up for those that may be a problem for. My dog is reactive towards other dogs and was totally unphased, the space is big enough it wasn’t an issue at all! Liana C.

55Really awesome spot! It was large enough to explore but not so big I couldn’t keep up with my dog. The one thing to improve would be adding a clean water source - I wasn’t sure how to add water to the tub and it didn’t look fresh. However we will be back and bring our own water vessel in the meantime. Thanks for hosting!Mackenzie E.

FAQ about our Ilwaco fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks 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 public dog parks.

With Sniffspot 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. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
