55Absolutely beautiful, and host Jessica is a great communicator. The farm side had plenty of room to roam, and felt secure and well away from the main road. If your dogs are swimmers, the river side is nice too--we kept our pups on leashes over there since it's a bit closer to the road. Clean, quiet, and a really pretty corner of Sauvie.Jennie M.

55Jessica was super helpful in her directions of where to and how to explore her Sniff Spot. We had a blast! Beautiful location. I left with a very tired, happy dog. ☺️Sharlin F.

55My dog has never been happier! Running through the fields and splashing in the puddles: this washer dream come true. Quiet, safe and serene. Will be back. Kati D.

55We had the BEST time here! So much room to run around and different things to see. Walked around the fields for about an hour and then crossed the road to play in the river for a bit. Kept my dog on leash at the edges of the property and near the road but felt safe letting him roam free the rest of the time. Just an overall beautiful and well kept property with views of all the mountains (on a sunny day of course). Chelsea M.

55This spot was amazing!! We stayed on the “land side” and spent our hour playing frisbee, ball and exploring the property. It was an amazing way to get outside and enjoy a beautiful spring afternoon. Hannah F.

55This is a lovely spot! Lots of long grass for the dogs to bound through, and the riverfront was so much fun (though muddy!). The site includes both sides of the road, and the half by the river is a little narrow, so if your dog doesn't have great recall I would be careful on that side. Jennifer P.

55There is just So Much to explore at this spot! Beautiful views, lots of waterfront and a massive field area with a picnic table for relaxing while the dogs run. We loved it and will be back, rain or shine! Lea H.

55This spot is perfect for my dog. Running through fields and splashing in the river stress free. Great for a dog with good recall but poor social skills. Julianne S.

55Great spot! The water is really high right now (April), so access to the river is limited - we didn't even try. If you're counting on the river access, maybe reach out before booking to make sure it's there. Even without river access, there was plenty of open space to run and play and lots of tall grass to bounce in! We had a great time. Becka N.

55So vast we didn’t even get to the others areas with water! My dogs were so enthralled to just run the big field they were tuckered out after an hour. You could easily rent this spot for 2 hours to really take it all in. Only feedback I would give is there’s no place I could see to dispose of poop bags so it was a stinky ride home trying to find a garbage can along the way at a business to get the poop bags out of our car. Other than that, it was doggie paradise and we will book again! Meredith N.

55Jessica was very thorough and we had no trouble finding the spot or navigating once we were there! The river was pretty high today so the shoreline wasn’t much but we had a great time in the field. Trash is a pack-in pack-out situation so be prepared to haul your poop bags :) Jill V.

FAQ about our Castle Rock 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.
