55Amazing view of the cascade mountains on a clear day! Friendly host. You can let dogs out of car off leash, do not have to walk them leashed to the sniff spot area. Lots for dogs to sniff, mostly in a recovering clear cut with mowed trails. There were thoughtful amenities. Quite a bit of elevation gain driving up there so be prepared for a colder frostier situation some days in the winter. Jess L.

55This Sniffspot is amazing! There’s nothing better than having a ton of property to let your reactive dog run free in peace, while you can enjoy a nature walk/hike along side. It’s stress free not having to worry about any off-leash dogs running up to your pup. Beautiful views and plenty of space for lots of play and exercise. You can definitely get a good workout in for yourself too! The only downside is we live too far away so we can’t come every day, but we will absolutely be back! Ryan is very friendly and helpful as well! Tayler J.

55Fun wide open space to explore with a view. Could see a lovely view of Mt Hood on the crystal clear day. The terrain is quite rugged so wear pants and hiking boots! The pup had a blast of course 🐕Raul G.

55It's awesome, the hiking is fun for both humans and dogs, and you can cross the creek in multiple places. There is a lot to explore and it's really peaceful.Jessica M.

55This sniffspot is so nice! My dogs had an absolute blast running on the paths and frolicking through the brush and trees. The hiking trails are nicely flagged and very well kept, and the hosts are so so nice.
Absolutely will be back! Emelyn B.

55Bruno had so much fun exploring all the little trails, zooming through the muddy puddles, and checking out the creek. We’ll be back to explore some more! Chantalle v.

55Incredible spot with extremely kind and gracious hosts! We had an absolute blast. My dog loved romping up and down hills on the trails, which are beautifully made (SO much work had to go into them!) and well marked. The property is spectacular and it's such a treat to get to hike somewhere like this without having to worry about encountering others on the trail. We will definitely be back!Jess C.

55Excellent space for a short but great hike, for both humans and pups! This site is a rougher terrain (not paved or mulched) so make sure you wear hiking shoes, esp if it's been raining. However, trails are clearly marked. Lots of spaces for pups to explore. We even saw some cool mushrooms! Highly recommend!Kimberly M.

55Wow! This place is a hiker/walker and dogs dream. There is SO much to see and so many different trails and roads to get you there. My dog had a blast and is exhausted. This is a hidden gem that I am so happy I found! Worth the beautiful drive and so fun to look at all the Christmas trees and wild mushrooms along the trails. You don’t want to miss this place.

55Wow!! The tree farm is incredible. My boy had the best time. There are lots of trails to explore, but we stuck to a few main ones. Will definitely need to book more time. My lab also found the creek and spent a lot of time laying in it, as labs do 😅. Thank you Lisa, for showing us around and for opening this space to us! Chantalle v.

55My favorite place so far! Not only enjoyable for your pup for us as well. The views are amazing and couldn’t stop taking pictures and loved the easy walkable roads while our girl can roam and get more steps in. You can definitely see the smile on our girls faceShay S.

55We had a friend join us today and we explored some more trails! This Sniffspot is out there, but so worth it! We also went to the part that borders BLM, which you can also access. We didn’t have enough time, but it’s something we might do in the future! Chantalle v.

FAQ about our North Plains 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.
