55This is a great Sniffspot for dogs that like splashing and chasing balls in the water! If your dog isn't a water dog, then you might want to keep in mind that there is a pretty limited space away from the river where your dog can be off leash. My dog isn't a water dog, but he still enjoyed walking up and down the rocky beach along the river, sniffing in the bushes lining the beach, and we still had a good time! And the walk down to the river from the parking area at the top of the field was nice and peaceful.Sara E.

55A wonderful Sniffspot - very private and serene. Robin texted us a map the morning of our arrival and it was very helpful in orienting us to the property. Because we only had a two wheel drive vehicle we were prepared to leash walk along the corn field to the woods. We were pleasantly surprised to find that since the weather has been dry the dirt road was navigable for us. We almost made it to the entrance to the woods before finding a large pot hole in the road and decided we should stop there and walk the rest of the way in. The wooded area has a few trails and lots of interesting areas to sniff. Stingling nettles are growing in some areas so I’d recommended wearing long pants even in warm weather. The crown jewel of this property is the riverfront. We walked alongside the river for quite awhile and my dog took several dips in water. He loved it! It would be a great spot to enjoy a picnic lunch too. Overall, this is a great spot for a reactive dog and of course those who love the water.Bonnie B.

55Pajo Ranch is a great place to let the dogs splash in the water! Nice path to walk on and rock beach to enjoy while the pups sniffed around. Good for reactive dogs too! Shelly B.

55Had fun exploring the trails in the woods near the river. If your goal is the pebble beach from the pictures, keep in mind access might be limited when the river is high Olivier B.

55Lovely spot by the river! Had to step in about 6 in of water to get to the rocky river bank, but it was well worth it to let the dogs run along the river. We cant wait to come back! The trail in the woods next to the river may seem a bit overgrown, but we navigated through it just fine and thoroughly enjoyed our time! Kathleen P.

55Amazing spot! Hope to bring my water loving dogs back here many times. Suggest a four wheel drive vehicle to get to the river faster if you have one, but if not, the walk around the field is quite enjoyable. Friendly, helpful host. Thanks Robin!Anne R.

55This was my first ever visit to any Sniffspot and what a beautiful property! We enjoyed it so much and the dogs loved being able to run free and splash in the river! Robin was very gracious as I made a mistake and accidentally booked the wrong day but she still let us stay even though it was my mistake! Would highly recommend this Sniffspot!Ahna H.

55Great location - occasional boats along the river. We had a great time. We left the sniffspot shore 30 mins prior and still ended up getting out of the gate 9 minutes past our time because we have a tiny car and took a while to drive down the path. Michele C.

55I am so glad we got to experience this incredible spot! Where else are you going to get grassy fields, woods, and river all to yourself? My dog loved jumping into the river to fetch branches, digging in the sand, and sniffing along the trails. We would love to come back here. No other dogs in sight! Robin was also very nice and helpful when I couldn’t figure out which property entrance to use. Yuliana H.

55Such a wonderful visit! This is a beautiful property and though the walk to the river is fantastic, the riverside was our highlight. The dogs absolutely loved it and we immediately wished we had scheduled a longer visit. We are already planning our next visit and will be bringing a picnic, beach chairs, and swimsuits.

55It was a bit tricky to get to the water, but we had great time! The water is cold and stream could be fast, so I would recommend staying in the closer half of the water to the shore. There were people who were fishing and boating/partying, but overall we had great time! On dry days, I think you can bring your 2WD to all the way across the dirt road, though I parked half way. Please keep your dog on leash near corn field, My dog started barking a ton, and I would’ve worried losing him if he bolted out. Getting there is tricky but, walk was great! Tbh, I wish I brought my floatie! Susie K.

55What an excellent Sniffspot! We took 4 dogs and had a wonderful time. The wooded area walking down to the river was interesting for them to explore, and it was very safe off leash even for our dogs without great recall skills. Our favorite part was the river. We took chairs and had a picnic while the dogs swam. The current was gentle and safe for our new puppy who swam for the first time! There is tons of space to explore. We spent 2 hours but could have easily stayed another hour! Robin provided extremely detailed info and was responsive to questions. Highly recommend this spot!!!Hailey W.

55What a great Sniffspot! It is a huge space and my dog had a great time exploring.
I do not have a 4-wheel drive car so I parked right by the barn at the start of the field. It was about a 10-15 minute walk along the perimeter of the corn field to the river which was a great warm up for my dog before he got to splash around.
You'll have to explore a bit to find the trail that leads right to the river. There is the perimeter trail that goes around the corn field, but near the end of it it starts to branch off into smaller trailers but explore around a bit and it will be clear which trail leads to the water.
The river was awesome! Lots of beautiful stones cover the beachside and the river water is shallow. I saw a few fisherman so I did my best to give them some space to avoid scaring off fish.
I will definitely be back!Cris B.

FAQ about our Sultan 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Sultan area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Small Dog Meetup. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Small Dog Meetup. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
