Peaceful mini-retreat with field & woods

Fully Fenced

20 acres

22+ acre property with 20 acres that is fully/securely fenced. The front half is an open field & orchard, the back is forested and has maintained trails throughout. There's covered seating in the field & woods, portapotty, drinking water station, toys etc - see amenities for more details. There are seasonal streams, ponds in the woods this time of year, plus extra puddles & mud during/after moderate-heavy rain. Foot bridges and woodchips keep the main trails in decent shape for walking but there are plenty of muddy areas to explore so expect a wet, dirty dog - waterproof traction boots (muckboots etc) recommended. There's a dog rinse station (elevated, tethers, sidewalls) for faster cleaning that's easy on the back and keeps clothing drier; bring your own towels. Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance. Some days fill fast but plans can change & bookings get modified/canceled (2+hrs beforehand) - check back for an opening if interested. Thank you for being considerate of our space by reading and abiding by SS and spot specific rules and asking all who accompany you to do the same. First time visitors get an auto-message 2hrs beforehand with helpful info.

There is very little time that the crop area is restricted. When the pumpkins are grown, it is fun to walk up the rows and we welcome the pups to be in there, take photos etc. If you visit during planting, we ask the dogs stay out of that area as that can damage the crop. There is lots of space to run and walk/hike. The perimeter trail is approximately 3.5km. There is short grass, tall grass the dogs can go in and out all over the field in the front and middle of the property. As well as up the hill trail.

My dog is a little 10lb dachshund chihuahua, we didn’t run short of things to do or places to explore here! This is a great place to

Such a beautiful spot and my dogs had the time of their lives! First time my own 2 dogs under 20 lbs each were ‘free range’ and it was absolutely delightful and totally secure. My older dog who wanders and does her own thing never got lost and acted like a pup. My short-legged younger dog navigated the field and trails like big dog. Best of all, my tiny foster chihuahua was absolutely safe and had a blast. Barb is a wonderful host and has created an incredible space for dogs to have an amazing experience.

We visit usually twice a week and love it. The host makes every attempt to create a safe, fun experience for your dog. Living here means rain...which can mean mud but the host has put wooden bridges with non-stick surface for crossing muddy or water areas (which my dogs ignored bit we appreciated haha!). Also put down hay to make crossing some small muddy areas easier. The little touches and the great area makes us regular visitors!

As usual, a wonderful experience! I'm blown away by how much maintenance and care are performed on the field, fence and trails. There are some muddy areas, and I wore boots, but it was dramatically better than I expected. I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate being able to take my dogs (one who is deaf and has limited vision and the other can be people reactive) to such a large, fully fenced area where they can run, sniff, fetch and explore safely. Worth every penny.

We absolutely love this location!!! Best place to bring our rescue dog. He has quite a bit of anxiety from loud noises, which makes the location perfect for him. The area is out in the country away from loud noises - which makes it perfect. We love the open field, the trees and trail in the back. There is even has a water station for dogs!!! We’re able to walk our dog around unleashed and unbothered. Best place I’ve seen so far. Well worth the price. He’s already been twice this week!!! Looking forward to the next visit 😀

We have visited twice, and look forward to going again soon. There is both a large field, and a wooded area with trails. The trails are rugged but we'll marked and fun! There are trash cans, benches, lawn chairs, a water station... Really a fabulous place to bring the dogs. Thanks!

Awesome spot! My dog loved chasing her ball farther than I have ever had the space to throw it! And being able to let her run around on trails off leash in the woods was a rare treat. The field and woods were muddy (as stated in the description) but I didn't mind and my dog loved it. Barb did a great job at introducing us tp the property and pointing out the dryer areas of the field. I also really appreciated all the little bridges the she put up in muddy spots in the woods. Looking forward to our next visit!

55It has been years since I've been able to enjoy a stress free off leash walk with my girl Prudence and that is exactly what Nature lovers, frisbee & chuck-it paradise provided! This is an ideal spot for fearful or reactive dogs. We did a warm up lap of the fully fenced field before heading into the wooded, fully fenced, trail system then back to the field for a cool down lap. Barb was a lovely host, met us as soon as we pulled in and gave us a quick over view of the property, pointing out the best areas in the field for playing fetch, and the entrance to the trail system. Chuck it, water station, and poo station are provided by the host. The trail system is nicely marked with maps and flags though it is easy to go off the beaten path and find your way back. There is a dog across the street that you can hear bark but you cannot see him. My reactive girl didn't have a problem with it until we tried walking the fence line along the street. She was easy to redirect but if you think it may be challenging for your dog to not engage in the fence barking I would avoid walking that section of the field. There were 3 marked parking spaces for this sniffspot making it easy to meet up with others. I'm excited to make this a regular walk for my pups as it's only 7 minutes from my house. But even for my dog reactive clients in Bellingham it is well worth the adventure!Amber T.

This sniffspot is huge and obviously well cared for by the host! We came after the week of nonstop rain, and were well prepared for it to be a bit wet (hiking boots, towels). Fun was had by all, and our pup loved the big field and running around the trails. Great place to practice training! Host was super quick to respond to messages and greeted us for our first visit. Absolutely worth the road trip and looking forward to visiting again (especially after some snow or in the summer!) The fencing around the field was well enforced and honestly the property is so large I didn’t see the plastic snow fencing on the sides of the woods but the host had walked it recently and seemed to often be checking it for any small rodent holes (reassuring to me as my dog is not reactive but is a bolter!) overall, loved this spot! A side note for any dogs that are noise reactive - there was a ‘shooting range’ in the distance that you could hear but my dog didn’t mind at all.

We visit once or twice a week and love it here! The host always tries to improve the area and little touches make it out favorite place to go..

What a fantastic place!! We had a blast with our 5 dogs. I wish had planned for more time. The trails were nice for all of, especially me with a bum leg. There was water and all the good smells for the dogs. There is plenty of benches, garbage cans, cool cabins to peak around, dog agility stuff. Grace was the perfect host. She’s very kind and accommodating. We will make this a regular stop - no question. It was wonderland for our dogs and us too.

So much space for my pup to explore!! Stunning acreage & space provided. Directions were easy to follow & the host was kind enough to leave my dog and I treats for when we returned to the car, such a nice touch! The goats were also fun to see! Will definitely be back!

My viszla loves to run and explore which is hard to find a safe place for her since she is fear reactive towards strange dogs. So dog parks are definitely out. She was in heaven romping around the property. Will be returning for sure! Great hosts and lovely little walk today. Just a perfect outing ❤️

We had an AMAZING time at ‘Hike up the mini forest’!! This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was so much fun 🤩. Trails all around, creek access, outhouses, and benches for breaks! Oh, and thanks for the treats at the end Grace 🙏🏽😁. We look forward to coming back soon!!!

Beautiful, special property! My pup had a blast and loved all the different types of terrain, especially the lovely creek! She actually managed to rinse herself off in the running water, which was very convenient for me—just had to dry her off. Highly recommend! I took the day off from work to bring my dog out and it was 100% worth it.

Katy B.

March 2024

Oh my dog!! We had such a wonderful visit!! The land is so beautiful and Clay had so much fun sniffing, running and getting muddy! We drove down from Bellingham, and it was most definitely worth the trip! Grace was such a gracious host and we felt so welcomed. 😊

FAQ About Vancouver 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 Vancouver?

There are 10 dog hiking trails in the Vancouver area. The most popular dog hiking trail is 40 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Surrey. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.

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.
