55As everyone else has noted, this is an exceptional Sniffspot! Lots of interesting trails, and no worries about my dog escaping the spot. It took us about an hour to do all of the trails, walking at a leisurely pace (the map that you can grab after parking was very helpful). With all of its shade, it's also a great place to visit on a sunny day. I'd highly recommend visiting this spot!Sara E.

55WOW. This is the most amazing Sniffspot. A true gem with so much space to explore, without worrying about other dogs/people. Even though I’m not located close to this spot, I will still make the drive again just for my pups to enjoy the amazing trails and smells.Kelley W.

55This is such a great place. It has quickly become one of our favorites. There are plenty of interesting trails to easily occupy us for an hour. Love the extra amenities too, like all the various seating areas and the port a potty. Bonnie B.

55Beautiful property. The trails are fabulous and my pointer and her two furry friends loved it. We did have a mishap at the beginning as Peggy ended up outside of the fence at the end of the ‘Bumpety Road’ which exits out to 84th. She tends to run ahead of me (which is typical of German Shorthaired pointers) though has good recall. She’s not typically a fence jumper but somehow she ended up outside of the fence. Luckily she stayed there when called and I climbed over the gate, leashed her up and we came back in the entrance on 86th. We then just avoided that side of the trails and didn’t have any other issues. My friend had two dogs - one stayed with us and the other - a hound - was a bit too hard to keep track of in there as his recall isn’t good so he went back to the car after 30 minutes. I’d say it’s an excellent place so long as your dog tends to stick close by or has good recall. Now that we’ve done it and know the trails a bit, we will be back!Carrie T.

55This is our favorite local spot! It’s really simple - just nice easy trails with lots of opportunities for sniffs, zooms, and chewing on sticks. There are lots of trails and they all lead back to the main trail where the car is parked which makes it easy to navigate. The dogs love it!Ashley G.

55We always have a great time here. My dog loves exploring all the beautiful trails. I recommend keeping a lead on your dog though when walking on Woofey Way up to the fencing bordering the neighbor’s homes. On occasion, like on this visit, the fencing is bent down and dogs can get through it. The host is very responsive and does fix things right away when notified. Overall, this is a great spot and we return to it often.Bonnie B.

FAQ about our Gig Harbor 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.
