55Far and away the most fabulous Sniffspot we've experienced! Exercised doggies in the pasture, swam them in the pristine creek, and together explored the paths among the cool evergreen trees on the hillside! Left exhausted and happy!!Barbara T.

55This was our first time using a sniff spot, and I’m so glad we went. The property was lovely, peaceful, and our host John made us feel very welcome. Our 2 dogs enjoyed running through the woods, and they spent a lot of time in the shallow creek. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend this sniff spot. Marty K.

55If I could give this place 6+ stars, I would! John, the host, was incredibly kind, informative, and helpful. The space for the dogs to run is amazing with cool running water, a swimming hole, nature trails, stumps, benches for the humans to relax on, you name it. And it was fun to see the farm animals too. Beautiful property and kind people.
The dogs on the property were secured inside the house, but were barking from indoors. Since the off-leash area is away from the house, this was not a problem at all. Jessica N.

55We had an absolutely amazing time! Our puppy played her little heart out. This was such a nice setup and John did such a great job making us feel welcome and giving us a tour of the trails/property prior to our playtime. We will definitely be back soon. Danielle P.

55I've been coming to Spring Acres for 2 years now, and every time I just love it. It's beautiful, fun for my dogs and I can make it a challenging work out for me, or just a casual walk and exploration. It's starting to be that on somedays...1 hr just isn't enough. So many different trails to explore.
John and Stephanie are awesome hosts!Linda L.

55Absolutely wonderful spot, my dogs never stopped smiling. Trails for exploring, a couple open areas to run in, and even a creek and a swimming hole to splash in. I picked this spot because I was in the area to meet a friend but I may have to drive all the way down here just to visit this location, it’s that good. Gallia P.

55What an absolutely amazing spot! With several creeks to run and swim in to uphill forested areas, this place is absolutely wonderful. We will be back for sure! This spot is absolutely wonderful and the hosts are amazing and very kind! Many places to sit and just enjoy the sounds of nature and play a little fetch with the dogs.Kacie B.

55I really love this place, I live in lakewood and Enumclaw is pretty far away from me, I love it so much I have another booking for this Monday! I love the river all the trails and most of all its fenced and lots and lots to look at, they even have a cow(i can not remember the breed) i do knoe his name and that would be Yuhan, he was very sweet and I am surprised my dog did not go after farm animals. Overall this place is AMAZING! if I could give this rating ten stars I would, and the owners are just wonderful. Very nice sweet. They are really great people Ashlea C.

55Wonderful property with gorgeous trails and wooded area for exploring. My dogs and I loved spending our time there running (me walking haha) around the trails, over bridges, and in the field. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. They have taken the time to place plenty of benches and creating cute walkways and bridges around the property as well. They also provided toys and poo bags as well. You can tell they've really taken the time to think of the "little things" to make your time very enjoyable while there. Even the restroom is stunning! Highly reccomend and will be back again myself with my pups.Sydnet S.

55Such a beautiful, peaceful place! Our dogs had a blast… this spot had everything they could dream of- open fields, trails and a creek to run and play in. There is overgrowth on some of the trails that can make it difficult for non-canines to get through but we still had plenty of space to explore. Our host was very accommodating. We will be back!Noah G.

55We come here often and my dog loves it. He feels comfortable and at home and enjoys all the wonderful woodland sniffs. John and Stephanie are really great hosts - warm, welcoming and very communicative. I also appreciate how they’ve held steady at a reasonable $10 rate, making this one of the best properties for the value. Thank you John and Stephanie!!Bonnie B.

55John, you and your amazing wife, made Tucker’s last big outing the best it could be. To watch him run to that water and lay down brought me so much peace. Tuckers peace was in the water. I am so thankful for your generosity and kindness that day. Unfortunately Tucker lost his battle to Lymphoma only days after visiting your amazing farm. The pictures and videos I have from that day are so very special to me! I am so thankful to have such wonderful memories with my boy! You have an amazing farm that I highly recommend to anyone…the river is absolutely incredible! However the most amazing part is the kindness you will be shown the minute you arrive by John and his wife. Simply put they are just down home people. Thank you again for the kindness you showed to my family…we will remember it always 💜Rachel K.

55We always enjoy this spot and the hosts are fabulous. They are always welcoming and very communicative. The creek has more water in it now that it has rained - dogs that like to swim will love taking a dip in it. Be sure to wear boots or water resistant shoes as things are wet and a bit muddy now that the rains have returned. Bonnie B.

55The sniff spot was awesome! My dog had a blast running through the trails and splashing through the creek. We had such a tranquil time sitting at the cabin and listening to the creek. They put such a amazing thought into their spot with hand made signs with trail names and everything! The host was super nice and even gave us some lettuce from his garden!! Connie O.

55Our 3 pups had SO much fun visiting this sniff spot! John and Stephanie were so hospitable and gave really clear instructions on how to maximize the fun on their beautiful property. There is plenty of room to roam, experience the trails, hang out by the creek, and enjoy being outside in a safe, clean and scenic area! Having an 11 month old Border Collie who is reactive to animals makes a lot of public spaces really tough, this gave so many opportunities for off leash practice, recall and providing a really enriching experience for our dogs!

FAQ about our Fircrest 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.
