55Our first Sniffspot experience and it couldn’t have been better! Our dog is reactive so a public dog park is not suitable for her. Being able to have Barb’s property entirely to ourselves was the most amazing feeling! Our pup had SOOOOOO much fun and was right in her element. It was remarkable to see how our dog thrived having an off-leash experience in a safe and secure environment. She was able to explore and just be a dog, while myself, my husband and our children were able to have a relaxing stress-free time with her knowing there wasn’t any chance of conflicts with other dogs. We live in Canada just across the border so Barb’s property is very conveniently located and just a short drive from the Aldergrove/Lynden crossing for any other Canadians looking to experience the ideal Sniffspot. Barb greeted us upon arrival and was so lovely and welcoming. We appreciated the amenities her property offered including the hose to clean our pup off before hopping back in the car. We will most definitely be back!Laura G.

55Magnificent! Every time, every visit is a treasure. The field is great to walk across, not soggy at all and of coarse the entrance to the Forest is magical. Well marked trails, extremely safe traction foot bridges and cedar chips on the trails through the woods when needed. Wear a warm coat and hat, take your pups for an adventure and you’ll all go back home feeling refreshed, replenished and peaceful with happy tired pups! And you’ll feel wonderful as well!Kerry D.

55Had a wonderful time! Huge field for running and playing, chuck-it’s and frisbees provided! Forested area was great, too, but my dog doesn’t most of her time in the big field portion. Can’t wait to come back! Erin M.

55My girl chases cars and is always on a leash. She can play ball in a field on a long line but this property allows her to run free in the woods, something she wouldn't be able to experience without the generosity of the owners of this property! Theresa S.

55We love coming here! It’s completely fenced in wishy a huge field and lovely trails for walking in the back of the field. Trails are well maintained and there’s a cleaning station for the pups. Also plenty of seating throughout the trails and a covered picnic bench area. It’s so well maintained.Jill G.

Absolutely loved our time at this Sniffspot. We were greeted by the adorable goats and fed them some apples, then my pup sniffed and zoomed for nearly 2 hours and spent the rest of the day totally zonked out. Grace was a kind and gracious host. We drove several hours to visit this spot and will happily do so again! Thank you, Grace, for a perfect afternoon!Christina E.

55My dogs had a great time in this spot! The trails were very well maintained, clean and the fence was secure enough for my small corgi (17lbs). Grace was very nice and greeted us by the gate when we arrived. 100% recommend this spot and we’ll definitely come back again Paula P.

55Such a wonderful sniff spot!!! No kidding feels like a mini forest all to yourself. My pup had an absolute blast running around and sniffing everything and I got some great exercises going up and down hills. There’s also a little creek where my pup splashed in to cool off after running for an hour. He had the biggest smile! And the host is so sweet and lovely with a sign addressed to myself and my pup at the entrance, plus a little goodie bag waiting for us when it was time to leave! Definitely will come back and bring more pup friends with us :) Maria T.

55Such a great spot! The host is the sweetest and even left us treats when we were finished. I have a dog reactive pup and this spot was so perfect. I was able to relax and let my babies run. Super clean, lots of space and a hill that’s a good workout for those with pups that aren’t fans of fetch but love to explore. Jasmine Q.

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.

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.
