55My puppy Gus and I had an absolute blast! I’ve never seen him so happy running and romping and he loved seeing the goats behind the fence. The 1+hour drive was absolutely worth it. Grace is an awesome host and even had a special welcome and left us some treats for the drive back. Absolute favorite Sniffspot, we will be back! Thank you, Grace!Jessica J.

55The best spot I've been to! Worth every minute of the hour drive. My collies loved zipping through the trees and up the hills, and exploring the porches of the little cabins lest a hooman be there to offer a snack (sorry, pups!). The snacks for all of us left at the car was the sweetest unexpected gesture.
I used the last few minutes to put the dogs in the car and go back to "chat" with the goats and give them neck rubs. So much fun!
Note if you have a dog that doesn't like yappy little fluffy white dogs, the neighbor one came down to the cattle panel fence and all that was between it and my dogs was the creek. Could be a challenge for a determined, reactive dog. Tonya K.

55The owner is friendly and welcoming, and the area is the perfect amount of space to comfortably practice off-leash time with our 1.5yr old dog. He had a blast, and I was never worried about his safety here. Mandy J.

55This was our second time to the mini forest. We invited a friend and their doggo. She was very impressed with how wonderful the forest was. Our dogs had a blast running through the forest and really stretching their legs. The mini forest feels secluded and is quiet (no street noise). I'm always grateful for the outhouses and the trash cans for pet waste. One of our favorite Sniffspots!Nikki B.

55This sniff spot is outstanding. Grace is such an amazing host, the spot is terrific for dogs to run freely and it is very clean and well organized. The fencing is solid throughout the entire property. We will be back. Thank you so much for sharing this spot with us. Kathy M.

55It was our first visit today, and Grace were welcome for us when we get there. Absolutely, it was a mini forest and my dogs sniff and walk around all over the place. There is a little river and of course they had to dive in!! We will come back this mini forest for sure.Akane M.

55Our dogs love the mini forest so much that they didn’t even notice the creek area until the end. If your dog loves water, this is the spot to go!Olive W.

55the owner was so lovely and really made our first sniffspot worth it!
we loved our little hike through the mini forest! a lot of areas to sniff, tons of room to run, the trees and water were peaceful, and the goats were a plus!
there were roosters nearby, so if your dog is reactive to them, your stay may double as a recall training sesh - this is what i did and had no issues! really loved that we got to practice our recall. each dog is different, you know your dog. :) Aerial R.

55This spot was great, and the host was lovely and took the time to add very sweet and personal touches. Visiting the goats on the property (in their own pen, not in the Sniffspot area) was such a highlight for our dog and baby both. We had a blast!Kelli K.

FAQ about our Point Roberts 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?

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.
