55My friend and I arranged a doggy play date here for our playful fur babies. This was our first time using the Sniffspot app, if all sites are like this one, we are fans! We were both pleased with the location! Short trails throughout the property. The shallow creek was a favorite for these pups. Communication with the host was effortlessly. We’ll be back for a lengthier stay. Mona H.

55This was wonderful - lots of trails for hiking and sniffing, open spaces for running, even a small creek! Next to the parking area was a well-stocked station with water, extra poop bags, leashes, and more. Everything was clearly marked. We appreciated the signs pointing out when we were getting closer to the neighbor's fence and their animals (though we didn't see or hear them at all during our visit). Highly recommend, looking forward to coming again!Marie K.

55My dogs had a blast! We saw no other animals and they had so much space to run! My Golden had so much fun jumping at the bubbles that they had there. Jacey S.

55They have made some really nice changes really opening up the area and a wonderfully covered table and chairs. We have been sniffers for a few years and this is still one of our favorites Laura C.

55Our dog had an amazing time here! He had lots of sniffs along the trails and open space to play some fetch. There were also plenty of helpful signs and thoughtful supplies/extras like poop bags and leashes. We'll definitely be back!Pertz L.

55Our dogs had so much fun running around the different trails and taking a dip in the stream! This was my husbands first time taking our lab to a Sniffspot and he was very pleased. They both have been tuckered out for hours. Daisy G.

55A wonderful spot that has great trails and places to explore. We got lucky and the little creek had water to splash in. They have made some great seating additions since my last visit as well.Tina P.

55Great for my reactive husky mix. Plenty of smells, but quiet and without a lot of distractions. My dog was able to relax and have a good time in the woods. Can’t wait to come back when the weather is better!Teresa B.

55Neighbors now have goats, chicken, and what sounds like a livestock guardian dog on the bordering property. If your dog has a really high prey drive you might want to leash up if you go down that trail. There are signs that warn you but they don't warn until right when you're entering that spot. I leashed my crazy terrier up when we went by. Shes terrible around chickens! Melissa C.

55Always a pleasure to visit this property. The dogs love exploring the many paths, playing in the creek, and fetching balls in the lawn area. We all feel pretty refreshed each time we visit. Highly recommended!Michael S.

55Tranquility indeed! My 8 month old dog absolutely loved going on a ‘sniffari’ along the trails. Lots of exploring in a beautiful setting, we relaxed on the lawn afterwards. Reed A.

55We had such a great time. Nice little trails with enough hills for it to feel like a real hike. Plenty of areas for dogs to explore off leash and not so big you’re worried about losing them. Will be back for sure.Brandy W.

55Our second visit, Maya loved it, it’s perfect for dogs who love to follow their nose through the woods. She is always very tired after her sniffari, and I enjoy being there too, it’s a beautiful property with many mature cedars and lots of ferns Reed A.

55A wonderful morning for a sniffari, with many new smells after yesterday’s rain. The forest was lush and beautiful. This is the kind of sniffspot my dog would design if they could. Reed A.

FAQ about our Mountlake Terrace 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 Mountlake Terrace?
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.
