55LOVE LOVE LOVE this sniffspot! We’ve visited many spots and this is by far our favorite!! Well worth the hour drive from Seattle, though I wish it were closer so I could visit more often! Very well maintained trails and good for older and younger pups. If you have a pup who forgets his manners around farm animals (like my old dude), ask John if you can park in the back. There is plenty to do without getting in sniff distance to the animals. Book extra time because you’ll want it…it’s so tranquil and peaceful…so grateful for this spot. It’s salve for the human soul and joy for the pups. Carol W.

55Hands down the best Sniffspot we have been to so far. The property is lovingly maintained and our pups had a blast romping on the trails and through the water. Such a great space!Kara S.

55We loved our second time at John’s place just as much as the first. Best way to describe it is your own private oasis with hiking trails, an awesome cabin w/ bathroom and tons of amazing farm animals. Thanks for sharing your property.Alec H.

55Ten stars - this place is special. John was super nice & informative; his map of the property made navigating the trails a breeze. The creeks and trails were simply lovely and kept the pups thoroughly entertained. Our favorite sniffspot by far!Susan S.

55Best host's, great adventure for your pet (and exercise for you as well as pets!) Trails, running creeks, chairs...etc. They take such great care of the place. Marked trails, and they will give you a map of the different trails. There's a great place for your dog to take a swim. Peaceful and beautiful. My boys love it and so do I!!!Linda L.

55One of our top 3 favorite sniffspots. The dogs enjoyed the creek and the map of trails was helpful. You really can not get lost as there are the cutest signs letting you know where you are. Lots of small bridges and benches for you to enjoy. My dogs had the zoomies they were so happy running all around the trails. We will definitely be back! Vidara K.

55Drove 50 minutes to this sniff spot and worth the drive. So much space and so much to do for my dog. Impressed with all the signage and seating throughout the area. Will definitely return. Carlos C.

55First, you meet your awesome host. Second, he escorts you with your dogs on leash through the pasture, which may include bunnies, chickens, goats, wild turkeys, and two very mellow Scottish Highland cattle. Then you are “set free” in the flat grassy area which borders Coal Creek. After that, there are wooded trails up the hill, if you choose to climb. I love this place and only wish I could get there more often. (Note to self, make a point of it.) Steph and John are genuinely happy to welcome people and dogs. Evelyn R.

55It's no surprise that the glowing reviews brought me here, and now I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with them! I'm left wondering about the little things like how they keep the grass so perfectly trimmed in this vast place. Do the goats have a part in that? Speaking of goats, we spotted one wagging its tail at my dog! I hope that means the same thing in 'goat language.' Beyond my musings, what can I add? The dogs had a blast swimming and running. This spot is just pure fun, and we'll definitely be returning.KT E.

55The most pleasant and well kept sniff spot we have been to. The trials are beautiful, fun, and the trail signs are well made. John came out and introduced himself, gave us a map (very cool), and a tour! Overall such a lovely experience and the dogs loved it. Anna W.

55What a wonderful experience! John was great and my dog loved him, he helped us settle in, get to know the property. and even provided a cute map. Lots of fun animals that were so curious and comfortable with my pup. This is the perfect place for him to explore and he had the best time. Can’t wait to visit the farm again! Freda H.

FAQ about our Kent 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Kent area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Lab Livin. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Lab Livin. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
