55This is a beautiful place with kind and communicative owners, large open fields, and magical forest trails to explore. I've dreamed of a place like this to bring my reactive dog, and it was truly a dream come true!Traci S.

55Our two pups love this spot so much. Halloween is a tough night for one of mine and thankfully he is so tired after running and playing he’s barely noticed. Thank you as always for allowing us to visit!Michelle T.

55This was not only our first visit to this property, but our very first Sniffspot trip! Barb was a great host. She meet us and gave us the rundown on her lovely property and amenities. She was very welcoming, informative, and friendly. This is a fantastic spot for all types of dogs. We loved the wooded trails. But the big open field would be perfect for packs that like to play fetch. There were many amenities and everything you need for a successful doggy outing. Overall, we were a huge fans and will definitely be back in the future!! Thank you! Kalia Q.

55The woods change completely in the fall! Ponds and rivers appear that explain the presence of bridges. Today we were pleasantly surprised by a little bit of snow on the ground. My dogs and I love this place so much!Claudia E.

55Took a current shelter dog for a decompression freedom run, the location layout ensured was no issue with him escaping or potential reactivity triggers. Wide-open run space in field and forest = goal accomplished. I will be bringing more dogs from the shelter for this essential real-life experience to improve their adoptabilty. Karl K.

55I highly recommend this Sniffspot. Barb is absolutely lovely & has created an awesome space for you & your pup. There are all the supplies you could need - balls, water for humans & pups, well-maintained trails, multiple shelters, #2 bags & bins, & a great big pasture to run & play. And the entire area is fully fenced. We had so much fun letting our pup "dog" & could work on off-leash training in a completely safe space. We will definitely go again. Thanks Barb!Heather B.

55Took Tetsu, a shelter dog who spends so much time in his kennel, waiting to be adopted. It was incredible to see him racing freely along the trails
and exploring the woods and field. Twenty fenced acres! Well maintained. Tetsu and I both loved it.Judy F.

55Barb has created an off-leash wonderland for dogs that was an absolute joy to visit. We were so compelled by the reviews that we traveled across the border from Vancouver, Canada, in order to experience her "Peaceful Mini-Retreat," which was everything we had hoped it would be. Our two leash-reactive Spoodles were in heaven exploring the expansive fields as well as the gorgeous wooded area. As for us, knowing that they were perfectly safe and wouldn't encounter other dogs, which is typically challenging, was so relieving. It was a calming outing for everyone's nervous systems! Julie K.

55I was concerned about how much mud there would be this time. Barb told me where I could rinse off my dog with a hose if I wanted to. But she had done such a great job of providing ways to walk above the mud throughout the walk that I didn't need it! Just a little rinse before I put him in the car.Tani B.

55This sniffspot is amazing! We absolutely loved our tranquil walk through the forest. A lovely little creek for my dog to swim in and the most adorable goats at the entrance. The property is large enough to have a decent hike and is well fenced. Joanna S.

FAQ about our Maple Ridge 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.
