55This place is a reactive dog paradise! My dog had a blast running, sniffing, and exploring the steep, but well marked trails. The stream and mud simply added to her enjoyment! Plus, it was nice for neither of us to have to worry about seeing other dogs. We had a wonderful time! Tomlin P.

55This was perfect for my dog who just needs space to run, roam and play in water. Gorgeous views and peaceful. It was muddy/slippery/steep in a few spots so wear good shoes and use caution. We left pretty muddy but had a blast. Kelly C.

55My girl loved it. She would probably prefer her mom to be in better shape to fully enjoy the property, but other than that, she has a blast running the trails. Christine S.

55My dog and I had so much fun here. The trails were muddy and beautiful! We got a great amount of exercise and sniffs in. Not to mention the host was helpful in messaging about slick road conditions before our scheduled visit!Genevive K.

55Absolutely an amazing beautiful property! A little muddy but not as bad as I would’ve thought. Amazing job and keeping the trails marked. I loved being able to let me dog off his leash and let him run. I unclipped him and he looked at me like “really?!” He ran through all the leaves and puddles it was like he was a puppy again. Also brought my cat as he loves adventures too and he loved looking at all the birds. Overall an amazing beautiful quiet property with a host who truly cares. Breeana M.

55This was our first time using sniffspot and we had a lovely time. This property was very well marked and had short but moderately rugged trails. We were there mid-February, so naturally there was mud in some areas and parts of the paths could be rather steep, so wear appropriate hiking shoes. Luke met us at the gate as I didn't initially go down the driveway to see the parking area. He was super helpful and friendly, gave us the overview of the property, and then disappeared so we could enjoy his land.Carrie E.

55This is such a unique and beautiful spot! Perfect for sniffy dogs. The trails aren't super long but they are steep! It's a great workout for dog and human. The map is super helpful. I agree with others; it's like a piece of Forest Park all to your self. The farm stand is great too!Jessica T.

55Awesome spot! This is a forest park vibe with a little creek running along the trail. Our pups loved it! Like anywhere else in the PNW during winter, it was muddy. Not a big deal. The parking was well described and the was trail marked. We will definitely be back! Page W.

FAQ about our Gresham 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 Gresham?
There are 13 dog hiking trails in the Gresham area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Tail Waggers. 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.
