55Was a lovely place to take my dog for a private walk. The parking was clearly marked, with a nice sign showing we had the spot reserved, and a printed map to take with which I really appreciated! There were a variety for short paths to walk along. The main paths are clear and straight so have good visibility. Some of the side paths are less cleared, but that made for fun exploring. There is a nice place to take a break in the middle of the spot with chairs and some water. My dog and I really enjoyed our time there.Suz A.

55This spot is AMAZING! So very many different trails and things to sniff! My dog has the potential to be reactive/aggressive, sooo we go to a lot of sniffspots. This spot is one of the very best; both in terms of safety and location/amenities.
The owner is very thoughtful and is understanding of my dog's issues as well.
Just a fantastic place :)christine h.

55John's spot was so beautiful and our high energy Springer Spaniel had plenty of space to explore, sniff, and swim. We highly recommend and will be returning!Tina B.

55I had such an amazing time with my 12 year old son and our 1 year old Aussie, Bear. We explored many beautiful trails and ended the visit by cooling off in the refreshing creek.
The owners were so kind and welcoming and gave us a quick tour. They provide you with biodegradable poop bags and a place to dispose of them. We are absolutely in love with this place and already booked our next visit! Kimberly H.

55We love this place! It’s a great spot to visit any time of year, but during this hot weather we especially appreciate it. My dog took several dips in the creek to cool off. John and Stephanie are the best too! Bonnie B.

55This a beautiful place, more beautiful than anticipated. There are little quant details throughout the many places to explore. We definitely needed more time as did the dogs. Many trails and many places for the dogs to play in the water. This is an gem of a place. The owner was very kind and helpful. He gave us a bit of a tour to make sure we knew about the details of the property. This is a must!!Kristy T.

55This place is great. I was so glad to get my boys back out there. Great trails with some great creeks and water falls. Some great open areas and a few places to take a seat. Its a wonderful place where both the dogs and myself get some great exercise while walking and exploring all the different trails.Linda L.

55A great spot! Totally different in fall vs summer, lots of new nature for the dogs to explore with the new season. There is a rear entrance which is super useful for dogs that might not be trusted around farm animalsMaria S.

55I’m Kate and I’m also a Sniffspot host out in Tacoma. I’m blown away by both John’s and Stephanie’s warm welcome. They made me and my mom feel very welcomed, orienting us where to go and explore. I cannot recommend this place enough for those looking for a little adventure out in the woods with their pup. This top spot is a gem. Beautiful, beautiful place. The photos you see do not do justice. Come and experience the magic of this place yourself. My dogs; 9 mos old St Berdoodle and 9 weeks old Newfypoo had a blast. We booked for 1.5 hours but had to leave a little early for my pup’s vet appointment. I Will book again in the near future. 🐾🐶❤️Kate T.

55My Great Dane and I were there on a less than stellar day, but we still greatly enjoyed our time and the hospitality of our hosts John and Stephanie. The property is lovely, with so much to offer people and pups. Even though the weather wasn’t amenable to a lot of exploring, we enjoyed our time hanging out under the deep eave of the cabin and the protection of the hemlocks when we did venture out to walk. This Spot and the hosts are far and above.Ilana C.

55We come here at least once a week and it never fails to disappoint. This time we had an added bonus of seeing a deer. My doggo took off like a shot and had to run at least 100 yards uphill to chase him. Needless to say he was not successful in catching up with him but he had a blast trying. He was a very tired pup afterwards too! Bonnie B.

55Great Sniffspot! Variety of terrain provides endless entertainment for canines and Homo sapiens alike. We have been to several Sniffspots and while they all have been wonderful, this is still our favorite. Highly recommend it!Bonnie B.

55Great Sniffspot - all the features you could want for your doggo including a creek, wooded trails, and flat grassy areas. We visit several times a month. Highly recommend to others for reactive dogs and all other types. Bonnie B.

FAQ about our Lakewood 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 Lakewood?
There are 15 dog hiking trails in the Lakewood area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Wide Open Spaces at The Holler. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.
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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Lakewood area range from $5.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Pleasant Places. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Evergreen Oasis. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
