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.

55Awesome trails and lots of space for running and playing. My kid loves alternating hiking and splashing in the creek and our 2 hours always goes by so quickly. One of our absolute favorite Sniffspots! ♥Susan D.

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.

55I was able to go but my dog walker made the appointment. As usual, it was a great experience for her and the pup and she said it was a beautiful day. The hosts are always so nice and friendly. I hope to book as many visits as possible through the fall and winter. I will always be a repeat customer to this awesome "Sniff Spot". Beautiful and a perfect place for my boys! Thank you.Linda G.

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.

55This is truly an enchanting place! Easy directions and signage from the road. John welcomed us warmly and guided us through his magical farm. We had to keep Dottie leashed during the walkthrough as there were so many wonderful animals on the way, including two incredible Scottish highland cows!! Once through to the pasture it felt like we had an entire state park to ourselves. No other animals in sight. Lots of trails, bridges, and a gorgeous creek!
Extra hospitality points as John gave us a tour of his workshop and shared with us stories from his world travels. Can’t wait for him to finish the cabin, as would love to return and spend a night there. Tony T.

55We love it here!! The farm itself is just adorable....the animals are so precious milling around all together in the same pasture, happy as can be and Stephanie & John are just such kind, welcoming hosts. It's a really fun time from the moment we get here until the very last second before we leave. The Sniffspot itself is so pretty with loads of trails to explore, a creek to splash around in and lots of cool sights to take in. We love it here, rain or shine. ♥Susan D.

55As it was our first time at Spring Acre’s at Fiveash Farm, John came out to meet us. John was a wonderful host, advising where we could go with the dogs. He let us know what animals of his would be in or near the field that we would have to cross to get to the Sniffspot. He took us to the cabin where we could hang out on the deck especially since it was raining. Lots of trails to explore. Of course our Husky made her own trails. Our lab mix absolutely loved the creek. This place was everything we were hoping it would be. Chris D.

55Great spot. Tons of room to roam and several trails. Takes about 2 hours to walk/hike all the trails. Some areas get extremely muddy, especially along blacktail trail so that's something to be aware of. Walking sticks provided.
Host is very kind and his animals are well behaved but if you're not 100% sure your dog is goat friendly make sure you request the back entrance, the goats are nosy. Unfortunately I learned that the hard way with one of mine but no one was hurt and thankfully the host was understanding. Like others have said the walk through the pasture is guided and on-leash. A biodegradeable poo bag drop off is available near the entrance gate. I'd highly recommend it especially for more energetic and agile dogsMaria S.

FAQ about our McMinnville 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 McMinnville?
There are 12 dog hiking trails in the McMinnville area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Nehemiah lane dog farm. 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 McMinnville area range from $10.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Nehemiah lane dog farm. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Mitchell Family Tree Farm. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
