55My pup had lots of fun running around. The spot was easy to find/streets clearly marked. Everything was clean and organized. I would definitely visit again. I heard a dog barking at one point, but didn’t see any dogs. Malia A.

55An absolute gem of a place! My Aussie zoomed around for 40 minutes straight splashing in the creek. I don't know if I've ever seen him so happy. We'll be back. Katherine D.

55Great secluded spot for our pups to run and play without distractions! They had a ton of fun both on the trails and just sniffing around off leash being dogs. Will definitely come againKelsey D.

55Loved this sniff spot! We walked the trails, played chase in the lawn, and the pup went for a little splash in the stream in the back! She loved it so much, we will be back! Alissa H.

55We had a fantastic time here with our dog! The trails are nice and well-marked as to which way to go and where to be alert of potential noises from neighbors on the other side of the green belt. Our dog loved playing in the creek and sniffing around the wooded paths!Sophia S.

55Always a wonderful trail walking, sniffing & climbing fun for my Corso. Spring is starting in the woods, fresh creek cool running water for drinking. Such a beautiful property. Old growth and new, mossy carpets and endless sticks for fetching. As a curtesy to our Hosts, please pick up your poops and allow digging only in obvious marked area. Don’t ruin it for the rest of us! Both Hosts properties are wonderful wooded areas !Shelly G.

55Great spot, we enjoyed wondering the trails, love the creek running through property. Reasonably well fenced to keep pups from wandering on to neighboring properties. Joleen B.

55The name says it all! Gorgeous landscape and plenty of space to run your heart out. The creek was a big hit! The varying elevation was perfect for lots of hopping and energy burning. We saw the area for diggers and really liked the idea although our 3 pups were very busy getting all their sniffs out.
We will definitely be back in the future - thank you! It was a bit out of the way for us but absolutely worth the drive!Kelsi M.

55Such a great area to get your dogs used to hikes without having to worry about anyone else around. We did the trails a few times, and our dogs really loved the creek that ran through the property. There’s tons of places to sit, there’s even a fire pit, as well as some fun bubbles and extra leashes and poop bags (just incase you forget). For sure saving for another visit!Jessica G.

55It’s very peaceful and beautiful space! I was very thankful that I was able to come and be in a space with my dogs, where they can run around and be dogs without worrying about them! I will definitely be returning as my dogs were tuckered out after the hour of fun that they had there!🤍

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.

FAQ about our Poulsbo 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.
