55We have been here before and it was a good time for our doggies to run around and take in all the smells. We brought our 12mo old lab to her first sniff spot and she was in absolute heaven with the creek. She loved rolling around in the water...ran around and returned to the creek 4 times..:) we did notice some holes in the fencing in a few spots that a small dog could potentially get through which might be a concern to some. Our Amstaff did get her stuck through one which we quickly remedied but she was not hurt. All in all a nice place for a Snifari for the doggos!!Leslie D.

55This Sniffspot was an amazing spot to take our pups and just let them goof off as much as they pleased. It’s secluded, there’s no people, tons of signs to let you know where to go and where not to go. They even have a digging zone with a supplied shovel so you’re not breaking any ankles in the future. Overall it was 20/10 and we’ll definitely be back. Faith D.

55Lovely place. Nice open space for relaxing and throwing balls--shady in the afternoon. Easy hikes in the woods--not too much for my old dogs. A little uphill but otherwise easy. Dogs loved both areas. I enjoyed both, as well. Nice to walk and then sit and watch them sniff and roam. Cindy C.

55My pups and I LOVE this place! We love walking through the trails, and the pups enjoy splashing in the stream. If you’re looking a place to train your pup, I recommend booking it. The environment has enough distractions but is not too overwhelming. Alejandra F.

55What a wonderful spot! The hosts thought of everything! We loved the trails and the dogs had a blast running, playing, sniffing and exploring. It was worth the drive for the space, terrain, sense of seclusion in the beautiful woods, not to mention the little patio area was a great “home base” for rest and water breaks between wild romps. This spot is gorgeous and I’ll definitely be back. L. P.

55Such a great visit! We came on a busy weekend to find a fire awaiting us in the fire pit! The dogs enjoyed their time traipsing around the trails, spending extra time at the creek! A fun time was had by all!Heather P.

55My pup had lots of fun running around. The spot was easy to find/streets clearly marked. Everything was clean and organized. I would definitely visit again. I heard a dog barking at one point, but didn’t see any dogs. Malia A.

FAQ about our Mountlake Terrace 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 can I find dog hiking trails in Mountlake Terrace?
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.
