55Once you exit hwy 26 it is 35-40 min to the location. I don't care what Google says.
Beautiful drive , today we had mist in the mountains. Absolutely stunning and then we arrived to wonderful spot with well maintained trails and lots of lush ferns and greenery.
Dogs adored it. They were very excited about the trails and the areas. We did have to call them back from trying to head to Xmas tree farm. They thought twine was a suggestion. But good practice for recall training.
Loved the map and spot to dispose of pup waste. Thank you for sharing your lovely property. Dina C.

55This Sniff Spot was exactly how it's listed. All the pictures and directions on where to park were easy to follow. Water, bowls, a map, doggie bags and even a bandana were provided along with trash cans. The trail was easy to follow and the Field of Dreams was a great place to let our dog run and get his energy out. We'll definitely be back.Katie M.

55Wow! What an amazing spot, and such kind and caring hosts! We forgot to bring water with us, but they had a bottle of water waiting at the parking spot. Super easy to find, and my dog had a blast!! It's a great place to train recall. Heather D.

55This place is FANTASTIC! The hike trail is cleared and marked so it is very easy to follow. It was raining so my dog had a lot of fun in the little creek. Instructions from Kathy were very helpful. We will definitely come back. Andrea C.

55Our new FAVORITE spot! Trails were clearly marked and well maintained, the field was a blank slate to play or train or chill on the lounge chairs. There is a LOT to do. I love how there's several places to leave your trash along the way. Gorgeous spot! We will be back!Mark R.

55Such a fun spot!! We had plenty of room to roam and stretch our legs. There were a lot of serious tail wags happening, so
It’s safe to say the pup thoroughly enjoyed this spot!Amanda E.

55We came here on a rather rainy morning, but by the time we got to the Sniffspot, only the trees were dripping. It was quite easy to find, and a beautiful drive. The pumphouse had a map that we carried with us, plus doggy bags, water, and bowls, with a bucket to throw used poop bags. The trails were extremely well marked. This was one of the best spots we’ve been to for two very active dogs. They enjoyed running through the ferns and jumping over the logs until we got to field of dreams, where they both had the zoomies. The trails were leaf-covered and wet, but not slick. There was one mud puddle that my Aussie dove right into, but other than that, there was no standing water.
We highly recommend that you bring plenty of towels. I took my walking sticks, which helped on the uneven ground. Lynee P.

55I just visited this Sniffspot for the first time today. I will be back. My dog had a great time exploring. I wish I had booked a bit longer, just so we could explore and he could sniff more.
There was ample room to work on recall, training in a new place. As noted, there aren’t any fences, so you could bring a check cord if you are worried about escape artists.Rebecca J.

55We had an excellent time exploring Dixie Mountain! It’s a really well set up spot with clear instructions and marked trails. Our reactive dog had the best, undisturbed time sniffing and rolling to his heart’s content. The long drive from East Portland was very worth it and we can’t wait to go back!Mickey B.

55Wonderful location filled with variety for Ranger to sniff, sprint, and explore. I came with my four year old and he loved the “troll trails” and definitely saw fairies in the forest. The field of dreams delivered, my dog was dreaming the entire way home. Can’t wait to return!!Jill R.

FAQ about our North Plains 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.
