55John is very nice the property is beautiful and lots of places to explore! Can be muddy of course, it's a farm and has creeks, but mud makes it all that much better for dogs! Highly recommend this spot. An hour wasn't enough for us. Michele L.

55This was our first time using sniffspot, and Spring Acres set the bar high. The location is huge, beautiful, and very clean. It was really easy to find as they put out a sniffspot sign right in front of the driveway. Stephanie greeted us and was extremely warm and inviting. The animals in the pasture are also ready to give you a warm welcome, they are so sweet. The dogs loved their time, and my husband and I did too. We will definitely be returning to this little slice of heaven. David C.

55By far this is our favorite sniff spot. Plenty of space for Cooper to explore. Stephanie is a wonderful host and makes you feel welcome. Lots of space, trails, creeks, bridges and very friendly goats what more can you ask for. We had a great time and will be returning.Cathie T.

55This was our second time visiting John and Stephanie's beautiful spot. Our first visit was with my old dog and three energetic young pup friends, but today we brought a dog even older than mine. I can say now with certainty that the spot offers something for people and dogs of all ages and energy levels. Lots of sniffs to take in, trails to meander, and creeks to splash through. Today we also made time to picnic on the cabin's front porch. Just lovely. Aubbie B.

55Just when I had thought this was the most beautiful nature trail, SPRING made it even more amazing! A scene from a magical fairytale 🧚♀️ with birds chirping and everything 💕 The ultimate Sniffspot experience! Biggie of course just let loose and ran around exploring. It was very clean, not one poop in sight 😄 The poop bucket was very convenient and easy to find! Very safe and the mossy/grass ground made his paws very happy 🐾 I love the cute signs, bridges, and all the quirky little details 🤗 So thankful that John and Stephanie are willing to share the space they put so much work in to all the wild babies to play and explore 🐶 Thanks for the wonderful experience every time. We all enjoyed it so much, not just Biggie 🤪Thu N.

55This was our very first adventure at a sniff spot, and what a great afternoon we had! I brought my 10-year-old dog Mavis and her three young Doodle friends. They had a great time racing along the trails, through the creeks and across the pasture. There had been a flood the week before so there was probably more mud than usual, but the Doodles certainly did not mind! John was a very welcoming host, meeting us upon our arrival and giving us the lay of the land. I expect to be back again with Mavis and other friends and I'm looking forward to watching how the farm changes with the seasons. Thank you for sharing this piece of heaven with us, John!Aubbie B.

55Great spot - our pup was all tuckered out in 45 minutes. After the rains it was a little muddy but nothing our boots couldn't handle. Erin even had a fire going in the pit for us to warm our hands afterwards, not to mention water for the dogs, poop bags, a lost and found, towels, and chairs. The instructions were spot on. Would definitely recommend and come back again! Thanks for hosting such a great spot!Ariel D.

FAQ about our Maple Valley 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.
