55When you get there, there is a gate in front of a hill, which is where you can bring your dogs! There are some little trails down to the left (next to the house) and the little forest was soooo lovely. The dogs loved it and there was so much room to play. There were no other dogs around or anything, so I didn’t have to worry at all. There is a little river that the dogs just adored (the river would probably be dry in summer). I stayed for an hour and felt it was good amount of time to play with the dogs and sit down for a while. It would be nice to bring a picnic as well. There was no traffic. It overall just felt really safe and I hope to return with my dogs soon. Caroline L.

55Great well maintained trails to hike around! I agree with the comment below that I wasn’t quite sure where the land ended but we just assumed it was their land where the trails kept going! I used google maps and it took me around another way that we couldn’t enter but Apple Maps got us there! The dogs had so much fun romping around and even after all the rain it wasn’t muddy! We did 1.5 hours and thought it was perfect. Kind of expensive but for every once and a while, fun for the dogs! Emily C.

55This was indeed a magical spot! My dog loved it. Once you get away from the main road, it feels quite secluded and it's a great place for dogs to get some sniffs in and for my corgi, burn off some of his relentless energy. Katie L.

55This sniffspot was actually magical! My dog loved the freedom to explore the forest without the anxiety of running into others. She had zoomies nonstop and must have crossed the log bridge 30 times. We will be back. Note - not good for dogs without solid recall, there is not a fence.Bryanna T.

55Mountain parkour park for the dogs! They had a blast zooming through the trails and bushes and leaping up and down little hills. Slurp some water from the shallow stream when they get thirsty.
It is unfenced and tangent to a road with zooming cars so be careful while getting in and out. But once you gets deep in it’s safe.
For the human, dress for the weather. Hiking boots, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Ran L.

55Wonderful! Most of the muddy spots that other visitors mebtioned were very manageable and drying up with the hot weather.
My dog had so much fun. There were so many trails to follow and it was very peaceful. One section got pretty close to the nearby public pipeline trail and when we were walking by there was a family with an off leash dog making a decent bit of noise that my dog did want to investigate. Something to keep in mind if your dog doesn't have a solid recall.
Overall, totally great Sniffspot!Courtney V.

55This was the perfect place to go on a trail run and work on your dog’s recall and focus. I've been working with my dog for months to run with me, and this is the best place I have found to train for trail running. Beth S.

55This location is exactly what we've been craving - a place to hike for both of us without the strains of being leashed up or running into other dogs. We walked for three miles. The trails are well kept and there's water for your pup at the end. We did not encounter any puddles during our visit in late May.Tracy R.

55We had a great time. Since it is all things growing time I do recommend wearing long pants and possibly sleeves since some of the spots on the trail were overgrown with thorny things. Tina P.

FAQ about our Issaquah 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 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.
