55First time using Sniff spot. What an amazing location this guy has. Could tell he put a lot of time and effort and thought into this property. Our dogs favorite part was the little creek with the bridge. She loved jumping off the bridge into the water. Ty M.

55Always clean and quiet area. Once you passed the side of road, It's a great opportunity for practice of recall. It was a perfect wrather for hiking today.Akane M.

55This place was truly amazing! We spent 2.5 hours here, and although we didn't make it all the way up the mountain to the views, we had so much fun playing in the creek, exploring the open land under the electrical wires, and taking our time in the woods. We will definitely return with more time to be able to hike the whole way up. Michelle H.

55What an amazing experience for our pups and us. We will definitely be back again. One pup is a fear pup and he was so relaxed and happy. The other is a protective pup, but didn't have to be on alert all the time and was zooming back and forth. Very happy and tired pups! Thank you!!!Nola O.

55Incredible spot! Trails & instructions were easy to follow. The view at the top was amazing & my pup loved adventuring off leash once we got past the bridge! Will be back again! Kelsey E.

55What a cool place!! The host is so kind and responsive and even offered to let us stay longer because we had arrived a bit late. Definitely make sure to book a long stay and ask for the hike instructions. We didn’t go to the top today but still had a blast in the rain. Amiya M.

55Loved our first time here! A true hike with fun features like a water crossing early on, an uphill climb through some ferns, and some awesome views at the top!
Hiking this early November after a few days of rain, would strongly recommend wearing hiking boots as some areas are steep and/or slippery.Julie L.

55So fun! We were there an hour and definitely could have been there longer to explore more. I brought 7 dogs ranging from 5 mo to 10 years and they all had a blast. There were some walking sticks in the beginning and would def recommend grabbing one. During the rainy season some of the steeper parts are a bit slippery. Overall a great visit. Natasha K.

55What a cool space to share on Sniffspot! Took my two large dogs along the trails and up to the overlook. Glad I reached out to the owner, as he mentioned the trail conditions and made some recommendations. My dogs and I had a blast! Amber C.

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.

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.

FAQ about our Mount Vernon 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.
