55This spot was awesome!! I have a reactive pup who I can’t really take on hikes, but this space gave us the opportunity to do our own little private hike! I have never seen my dog happier as he hiked up the trails (which were super well maintained and marked). If I lived closer I would come back here every week! Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your property to let me and my dog experience something I never thought we would together :)Lydia R.

55Beautiful huge area to explore. Lots of uphill, lots of grassy meadow, and a nice little stream. Easy to find. Pay attention to warnings about stinging nettles, even with long pants, socks and closed shoes I felt a little itchy after…however it was worth it. Will go back to explore more of the trails.Tiffany W.

55The wooded area was much larger than I expected -- (I expected mostly meadows, but there was still a very large meadow, perfect for fetch and laying down for a break).
There were so many nice trails in the woods - the owner has a disclaimer that it's not manicured, but per my standards it definitely was! So many good nature smells for my dog, we even saw an owl!Valérie L.

55The dogs loved this spot! We kept them on leash until we got on the trails past the houses and livestock, the parking spot and path back to the trails is well marked and easy to find. Once we were on the trails we didn’t see any houses or livestock. Tons of well kept wooded trails to explore, we were there 1.5 hours and only found ourselves on the same trail once. Lots of hills to wear the dogs out.Elizabeth N.

55Well maintained trails with signs to help you stay within Sniffspot area. There is flat trails along with some inclines to give you a good work out. Will be coming back for sure. Vidara K.

55Very nice trails. Felt like our own private hike. Some brambles but quite well manicured! And the signs along the trails are a great touch. Definitely more for someone who wants an active spot as there’s hills and it’s woods. But beautiful.
Not fenced as it’s trails so make sure you have a good recall. Danielle W.

55Very fun hiking spot! Trails have fun surprises for owners, which I loved. One large area for throwing a ball or frisbee, most of the rest of the Sniffspot was trails. Didn’t come upon any obvious water, but still very fun! Maddie K.

55Our first Sniffspot and it did not disappoint. We had a great time. The scenery was fun and unique with all the hiking trails, well marked, with clear rules. Highly recommend!! Laura U.

55The trails are beautiful and really well marked with song lyrics to let you know you’re on the right path. The fall leaves right now are incredible. Getting from your car to the hiking trails is the only downside. The meadow is very wet and very overgrown. If a walking path could be cut through the meadow to the trails this place would be 10/10. Thanks for sharing your land with us. My dog and I had a wonderful time. Nicole R.

55Great trails, easy to follow once we figured out the marking system. There’s two main trails that connect at the top and cross each other a few times. The main loop is about a mile and a half. Meredith R.

55This has now become our favorite spot! Secluded, lots of space for zoomies and chuck it. Trails for Gary to get his sniff on. Nicole is very accommodating and communicative. 10/10 paws! Chelse S.

55This was perfect for my dog! He was able to go off leash and sniff all over the trails, plus there was plenty of space to use the chuck it!Marissa V.

55Such a great oasis in an otherwise densely suburban area! TONS of room to release the zoomies and a great place to explore. Will definitely want two hours next time!Mollyrose D.

55Nice big area to play fetch in! Some of the trails were muddy so wear appropriate shoes and bring a towel for your pup. One of our dogs is reactive, we didn’t see or hear anyone and avoided the trail that ran closer to the house. Be aware if you’re here on a game day, there were a lot of fireworks going off on neighboring properties, our dogs didn’t care but others might Zoe Z.

FAQ about our Edmonds 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.
