55Beautiful live oak savanna property! Lots of birdsong and nature. And our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed running on the trails and thru the forest. The host was very prompt in responding to the one question we had. Remember to bring your own water for your pups. One thing to note: in August there were lots of burrs, and while our Labrador was fine, our Golden Retriever was covered and had to be shaved afterwards. There was a little bit of poison ivy but we steered clear. Great spot for short hair dogs that love to run! Kat w.

55Nice space! It was very hot when we visited and there isn’t water/water bowls provided. Make sure to wear closed toe shoes and pants. Would not recommend during the summer for long haired dogs. Grass was very tall and lots of nettles to get stuck in fur. The property is absolutely beautiful. Will visit again!Erin A.

55Dogs had a blast but even their short fur collected a bunch of burrs. Bring your own water and bowl. Wooded area is very primal. Be prepared for some bushwhacking. Long pants would also be good.Jeffrey J.

55Surrounded by oaks and manzanita on the top of a hill in complete privacy! Doubly secure with an entrance gate and a separated fenced area, but totally wild. Be aware the trails are not maintained and there are a TON of burrs this time of year, but it’s beautiful and serene so we will be back when the burrs drop! Lea H.

55The BEST Sniffspot for bird dogs/ hunting dogs I’ve found so far. It’s rugged and beautiful- perfect if you don’t mind navigating uneven ground, tall grasses, thorn bushes, etc. My young Vizsla LOVED it, and so did I! Susan B.

55It was more of a bushwacking type of experience down lower in the forest. higher up is tall grass with clearer trails. both were great for our dog and us. It's nice to be able to get a little more rugged with her. Katie and Russ D.

55More rugged than we were expecting, but an excellent space to run around. Or dig was bushed within 30 minutes of running around all the hills and trails. Christian W.

FAQ about our Oregon City 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.
