55Great spot with a nice hill to tire out the pups, and a little creek to splash around in. So much room to roam about. Everything is well marked. The host is super kind and friendly. We will be back. Vy V.

55Grace is the best host! The trail was very well kept and very spacious for our dogs to run and play. It is also gated off with an additional locked gate behind it to ensure our dogs remain in the premises. Goats and other livestock can be seen when entering in, though our dogs didn’t seem to mind. Basic amenities were provided for the dogs such as waste bags, water, tennis balls, and a nice treat at the end after a nice hike. Will definitely be coming back again! DANIEL R.

55We had a great time! Mia got to explore/experience the creek for a first time experience. She was so funny! There was a muddy area where she unexpectedly sunk up to her knees, she looked so surprised! But, she handled it well. We will definitely be back. Grace, thank you for making us feel so welcome!Sandra F.

55Thank you! Our dogs had an amazing time running up and down the many trails. Max fully enjoyed playing in the creek and cooling his belly off. The mud was a bonus. 🤣
Walking amongst the trees was so peaceful; our energetic dog is sleeping well tonight. 🌼 Very much worth the trip out of town.
The lady welcomed us when we arrived and was incredibly gracious and friendly. The extra effort made to write our names on the sign and leaving treats for both the four & two legged guests was a speak touch.
There were the cutest goats on the other side of the fence at the entrance (as an fyi - our old dog couldn’t care less, the younger one was curious), a poop bucket, baggies, hand sanitizer and fenced.
Thank you so much! We will return often! Tricia B.

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.

55This is one of my favorite sniff spots!! I’ve always wanted to hike with my dogs off leash & this place let’s me do just that. They also leave treats for you to come back to when you’re done. Sweetest little touch! Giselle G.

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 Port Ludlow 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.
