55Zoomie heaven! Host communicated there was some flooding on the property so we were prepared for the conditions, but honestly all the water made it pretty fun! No problems with the fencing, other people, or dogs. Our pup had a blast running, playing ball and generally just being a happy boy. Carter L.

55This is a great spot! Becky let me know ahead of time that the property was muddy and wet due to recent rainfall and recommended I wear appropriate shoes and bring extra towels for my dog. The heads up was much appreciated :) My dog LOVED it! Lots of room to run around, and we loved walking the trails behind the house. We definitely will be back! Rachael F.

55This is a lovely, quiet forested area. There is an open meadow that was great for playing fetch, but there were also meandering wooded pathways that my dog liked to explore. Fenced and clean.Dan H.

55Great little spot for reactive dogs! We went after a week or so of straight rain, so it was extremely muddy and had puddles that would go up to your ankles. Hiking boots or rain boots are an absolute must this time of year!
Parking was easy, and clearly marked. A large trash can was outside, and some poo bags in case you forgot yours. There was a water jug out for use, but no bowls because of the canine RSV. I recommend bringing your own, and *not* letting your pups drink from the creek or puddles.
Despite the mud, the trail was secluded and the dogs had an absolute blast. The trail was short, it took us about 10 mins to walk it total, so we just did loops. The dogs loved it, and it seemed like there were plenty of new things to sniff and explore with every loop. Like other reviewers said, this is a great place to practice recall. Thankfully didn’t see any other dogs.
Regarding the small hole in the fence located at the back of the property, it was clearly marked with a large yellow cloth (photo attached).
My only real concern is that the house itself & its backyard aren’t fenced. While it’s not a big deal for some, I was nervous about our dog running too close to the house/in their backyard. Although it is just another opportunity to practice recall :)
The host was very communicative with any questions I asked!
We’re excited to rebook!! Karen L.

55Perfect spot for my 2 hard running dogs. They loved zooming up and around the trails. The footing was good. It is very shady so on a cool day west your jacket if you don’t like feeling invigorated! We will be back. Wanda and Karmen say thank you. D'Gaye F.

55Really fun place for the dogs to run & explore, with trails, woods, & even a little creek to take a dip in. It’s a little hard to find but worth the effort.Michael B.

55This spot was great! The trails were well established and the fencing was secure. My dogs loved running, sniffing and practicing their recall at this property.
There was a loose dog at the gate area sniffing around the fence and my car for a little while. Because one of my dogs tends to be a bit reactive and the loose dog didn’t come across as super friendly, this prevented us from leaving for just a short while. I took both my dogs back up the driveway and waited for the loose dog to leave the entrance area so we were able to exit and get in the car without a conflict. This really wasn’t a big inconvenience but wanted to include this in the review so other visitors may be aware. Amanda A.

55I can't say enough about this spot! I think my dog had the best time of his life. The trail is awesome, the trees, sticks, etc. He had so much fun exploring each turn. I brought my own water container that I carry but water was provided. I can't wait to go again and will probably check calendar for tomorrow. I am sure this will become part of a routine. Joell C.

55Beautiful drive, quiet spot. My dogs had a great time running around the trails, sniffing all the spots, and playing in the water feature. The happy and tired pups were passed out before I pulled away. Will definitely be back! KB S.

55My lady friends and I took our 2 year old pups, my 3 year old and a senior for a visit and a play date. The pups had an awesome time running and wrestling and my friends and I had a gab session. It was fun and relaxing and we all thank you for a safe place to have this happen.Laurie W.

55always a great spot for the pups!! Great opportunity to play hide & seek to improve their recall.
The host sent us a message beforehand letting us know they had some snow on the property. She’s always very communicative! As we were driving up it was snowing, but thankfully not too much on the actual property.
Very muddy, but that’s to be expected this time of year. Hiking boots are still a must! Be sure to bring lots of towels to wipe their muddy paws & bellies!
There are plants throughout the trail that have thorns, and one of the pups got pretty cut up on his face whilst running around like a wild animal, but it won’t prevent us from coming back. :)Karen L.

55GREAT space! There were a couple goats sharing the Sniffpot with us, one of which is a little protective of his space, but they leave you be if you leave them be. There’s plenty of space (somewhat divided) that will keep your pups entertained tho! HIGHLY recommended!Ashtyn B.

55We had a lovely time! A lot of room
for many sniffs! The host was very kind and welcoming as well (thank you!). We will definitely be back! A tiny kink in the fence could lead the more curious pup to figure a way out, but we recalled and all was well. To many more runs! Natasha H.

FAQ about our Cascade Locks dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Cascade Locks area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 101 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
