55Far and away the most fabulous Sniffspot we've experienced! Exercised doggies in the pasture, swam them in the pristine creek, and together explored the paths among the cool evergreen trees on the hillside! Left exhausted and happy!!Barbara T.

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.

55Another great experience at John’s and Stephanie’s farm. Definitely The Spot for you and your dog if you’re looking for a bit of an adventure out in their beautiful land with streams and creeks and socializing your dogs to their farm animals. Truly couldn’t find a better place to be on our social distancing Thanksgiving day. The pups came back dirty, happy and exhausted. John and Stephanie were also very accommodating; offered us a towel to dry our pups before we leave home and told us where the bathroom is should we need to use it. I am looking forward to another outing at this place next week and bringing my friend and her GSD along. Kate T.

55A puppy paradise! This was such an amazing and enriching experience for our 5month old GSP. From running the trails all the way down to splashing in the creek, every minute of our time there was full of fun! The hosts are absolutely delightful. Cannot wait to visit again! Ally J.

55If I could give this spot more than 5 stars, I would! John and Stephanie are incredibly welcoming and kind hosts and the spot is amazing. Their animals are all so chill and used to dogs, so it was a great chance for my city pups to meet the friendly goats on our way through the pasture to the Sniffspot. The Sniffspot space is truly a wonderland for pups - streams to splash in, wooden bridges, trees and rocks to climb on, open spaces for romping, so many trails to explore, and an adorable cabin where you can relax on the porch for a bit. Come prepared for some mud and slippery bridges if you visit during the rainy season, but it's SO worth it. I recommend booking at least 2 hrs to fully explore all that this spot has to offer. We've been out from West Seattle twice now and will absolutely be back - my dogs lost their minds with excitement when we arrived for our second visit! Kate S.

55Loved it! My pups had so much fun and met a cow! Played in the water too! Our host was amazing and showed us around while still being safe with social distancing and wearing a mask. Would highly recommend even with it being a bit of a drive. Definitely worth it! Cassandra B.

55Dogs and humans all enjoyed our visit to Fiveash Farm including a meet and greet with a goat and splashing in the creek. Hosts are friendly and helpful and provided us with a tour around the property. Very picturesque with room to run and explore and some great spots for taking pictures.
For the best experience wear boots, some spots are a little muddy and the bridges can be slippery. We will definitely return for another visit!Sue C.

55It was pouring down rain but we still enjoyed our walk through the woods. Be sure to wear boots this time of year and it’s important to be careful on the wooden bridges as they are slippery. Recommend using one of the large branches as a walking stick. Highly recommend this spot for a great workout for human and canine alike!Bonnie B.

55Great spot. We have visited before, but brought a friend this time. John is extremely welcoming and the property is lovely. It was wet with the recent rain, but other than a small water crossing you were able to stay pretty clean and dry. Brianna A.

55We come here often and always book 2 hours. The time flies by and we have so much fun. There are loads of smells and lots of woodsy trails to explore. The creek is a huge bonus and the water is fresh and clean. One of our most favorite spots. Thanks John and Stephanie! Susan D.

55We were warmly welcomed and lead to the sniff spot area. We have a dog who is afraid of people she doesn’t know and our hosts were very understanding. The property is magical with many bridges over the creek that are beautiful and look like they were made by faeries. The trails lined by moss covered logs. And the gurgling of the creek was relaxing. We were encouraged to sit on the covered porch of the empty cabin in the woods, especially if it started to rain. Our dog and my daughter could not have had a better time.Sol R.

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.

55We had another great time! It had rained for a couple days but was beautiful when we arrived. The creek was already quite a bit higher which made it all the more fun for Jasper to splash around in. Thanks again Stephanie and John for providing such a great Sniffspot.Bonnie B.

FAQ about our McCleary 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 McCleary?

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?

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.
