55Wear shoes with good treads because this place is perfect for folks and dogs who appreciate some terrain and woodsy steps on the way down to the creek. We had our doodle doing recall laps up and down the switchbacks for a really efficient cardio game. Parking is really easy, there's lots of space and the hosts greeted us to give us the tour. The lawn closest to the house and parking area is LUSH with lots of cute nooks for rustic dog pictures. Kim L.

55We had a lovely walk with our pup today on some beautiful, top of the mountain acreage.
It was sunny so we opted to wander through the woods, following a wide dirt path.
There were pup treats and people treats available for us, and a big bowl of fresh water for Chuck.
Thanks, Ryan, for sharing you space with us. Ruth M.

55If you want a quiet forest walk in the country with no distractions, this is the spot! We drove up from Portland and knew once the road became gravel that this was worth it, lol. Host was kind enough to meet us and let us know where to go for trails and forest space (to the right past the white barn) but it was all open for the pups to explore. They had a blast and we will be back! Lea H.

55Expansive space with beautiful views and different terrains for our pup to explore. A little trek from Portland but worth it. Host was thoughtful and provided water and doggo and people treats. Would recommend booking spot for longer than 1 hour. There's just so much space to explore!Lan H.

55Forest! Views! So much space to let the dogs explore. We will most definitely be a repeat visitor here. (We agree with another commenter’s recommendation to book more than one hour; we didn’t want to leave the forest when our time was up!)K. W.

55I wasn’t quite sure what to expect driving up the long gravel road, but Ryan’s property is so lovely. Ryan herself is also a gem. She gave me the lay of the land and was so sweet. Note to first timers: keep driving up the road, past all the other homes, until you see her blue house. It can be confusing, but just follow the gravel road past her neighbor’s house.
So the property itself consists of her backyard which has a doggy pool and lots of areas to sniff (careful of all the bees this time of year) and then the land through her cousin’s property (which seems to be a Christmas tree farm?) into BLM land, where all the trails are. We checked out her backyard and headed onto the trails after. It was nice and quiet and it felt safe. Next time I’m wearing better shoes, because I did turn around at some point due to not wearing the right shoes.
This Sniffspot would also be fun to go with a friend and multiple dogs (provided they all get along!) if you feel uncomfortable walking into the woods by yourself. I will bring bear spray next time just in case we run into any wildlife out there.Chantalle v.

55This is a magical spot with many opportunities for exploration! We went cross country and hiked through fields and forests; was a great workout for both me and the pup. Ryan is an awesome host and gave me an orientation of the property before we took off to play. Joelle K.

55Big space, dogs had a great time exploring! Host met us at the front and described where to explore, which was very helpful. We drove right to it but I could see how some people could get a little lost. However, there are little signs with the house number that point directly where you need to go.
Piggy back on what others have said, book extra time to get in ample exploring!Jennifer P.

55Kathy is such a kind host! She was very welcoming and gave a brief intro to the property. The area was filled with places for Honey to explore! There were more woods-y spots for sniffing and exploring along with a large field to play Fetch, scent work etc. It was also very quiet, no dogs or people seen or heard,Edgar S.

55Wow!!! A reactive dogs dream! We saw/heard no dogs or other people. It was like our own private hike. I used to LOVE hiking with my BC, but after his reactivity got worse and we ran into more people with uncontrolled offleash dogs, we stopped for his safety. And while a field to run in is great, this spot gave him the hiking experience again and he was in love. Just look at the photos!! Hailey R.

FAQ about our Timber 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Timber area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 124 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Sniffspot has 124 fully fenced dog parks in or near Timber. Browse all fully enclosed options.
