55So much fun! Trails are somewhat steep, but easy to access and navigate. We had a great time! I didn't see anywhere to put my poop bag after our walk, so I ended up packing it home, but I am assuming this was probably an oversight on my end.
The area is quite spacious, so it echoes a bit and my dog had a slightly tough time with recall because of it - which made this a really fantastic spot to practice a bit more with his long leash! Thanks for letting us use your space, Aarika! I am sure we'll be back. 😁Larissa R.

55This was a great place! There are nice trails through a wooded area. There were enough natural barriers and fences to keep our pup on the path without a leash. Thank you!Theresa F.

55Lovely little spot. We have two dogs, a little old lady and a super lovable but super anxious teenager. This spot sniff spot was a bit of a drive for us but perfect- nice little walk in the woods, quiet, clean. Our dogs loved it too! We’ll be back, thanks for having us.Michelle Z.

55To be honest, I’ve seen this Sniffspot before and decided not to go because the listing says it’s not fully fenced and sometimes there are other dogs around. We have two reactive dogs who are still working on their recall so those two things alone made me turn the other way. That said, our dog trainer told us she had a client who had been to this spot before with their reactive dog and it was a great spot. They were right! Even though it’s not fully fenced, once you get up into the back of the property it’s so lush and has so much room to explore that the lack of fencing did not matter. We also did not see any other dogs, we only heard some sheep from the neighbours property. This is an absolute gem of a spot and we will definitely be back!Katrina G.

55Fun trails to walk around and a surprise watering hole that my girls loved! Seems safe for dogs with fairly good recall. I still put my dogs on leash on our way back down to the car because there is no gate. Angela R.

55Easy to access to the spot. Well maintenance and clean. You should put your dogs on a leash until you go up to little sleep. There is no fence or gate from a street and the parking spot. One of my dogs really wanted to explore every bushes, so I had to put both dogs on leash(little concern of recall) Very quiet area and peaceful. We live little south from this Sniffspot , so it took 40mins. When we have chance to drive up north, we will stop by and enjoy nature sounds.Akane M.

55Nice place for a walk. Treats, water, waste bags, and a trash can were provided at the entrance. The trails were mowed grass roads and were well maintained. I’ll put this place on my rotation for places to go since Mount Vernon has no public off leash trails.Cabe B.

55This is a gorgeous spot! We loved waking the trails - this broke up a long car ride and is so accessible from the freeway. Fair warning, the creek beside on spot is REALLY muddy so maybe leash in that area if you don’t want your dog going in. Mine went in full blast and loved every second, haha. We’ll be back when passing through again!Katie C.

55What a beautiful spot! My dog and I really enjoyed our visit. Lots of great, new scents to check out. Quiet. There are plenty of trails to choose from. Some mildly steep but not enough to prohibit us from returning. We will visit again!Catherine G.

55Fun spot. Great wide open main trail as described, and then little side trails. Like others said, while considered partially fenced, really the only unsafe access is closer toward the driveway whereas the rest of it is a natural barrier. Possible for a dog who has okay-ish recall as long as they don't get out of your sight.Tonya K.

FAQ about our Mount Vernon dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
