55Hiked even more trails we hadn’t discovered yet. The pups had a BLAST. Creek play is always the first pit stop. All the trail signs make it feel like such an adventure land. We love this place and the dogs ZONK out for hours afterwards. Kimmie H.

55We love Spring Acres and return to it often. It’s very private and it has everything a dog could want - wooded trails, creeks and for the ball obsessed canine, large open areas to play fetch. The only thing it doesn’t have is an ocean beach but for the salty sea pup in your family there are a couple sandy areas by the creek to nose around in! The property is really beautiful right now too with all the spring growth emerging. It’s still muddy so be sure to wear appropriate shoes or boots. Stephanie and John keep improving the spot too with things like new trailhead signage and a new trail. All in all it’s a great spot!Bonnie B.

55Spring Acres is the place to be! Stephanie is a wonderful host who met us to give an introduction to the park and provided a beautifully illustrated map. It was so much fun for us to wander the trails and sit and listen to the creek and the breeze. The park is spacious, charming and well maintained. Most definitely worth the trip from the city!Karen D.

55If I could give this place 5,000,000 stars, I would. Same with our pup, Freyja. We brought her here as a gift for her 3rd birthday, and she had the time of her life! Baked her a cake, and let her run around worry-free for 3.5 hours! John has got to be one of the most kind-hearted and animal loving people out there, and we were blessed for the opportunity to enjoy his and Stephanie's land. Thank you a million, and we will DEFINITELY be back!!! An experience of a lifetime. Hailee S.

55I was nervous at first about bringing 4 reactive dogs to a Hobby Farm, but the owners welcomed us with a smile and guided us, gave us space when we needed it, and we had the pleasure of seeing and learning about all of their beautiful livestock animals. It was so nice to enjoy their beautiful park for the evening with my pups, I look forward to visiting again soon. Makaela L.

55Great place for my reactive pup who can’t always get out on the hiking trails with me. Gave him the stress free hiking environment he needs every so often to let loose and have fun exploring off leash. Will definitely be back!Emma R.

55We love Spring Acres! We come here so often it’s like our home away from home. John and Stephanie are great hosts - so friendly and responsive. They are always making improvements to the property too. There was a lot of storm damage this winter and they have cleared out the major portion of it - cleared faillen limbs and trees, and have added new bridges. They’ve added new signs too to help identify the various trails. The spring time is so beautiful here too but be sure to wear boots or waterproof shoes as the many of the trails are quite muddy. This spot is definitely worth the drive, speaking of which, I always enjoy the country drive to the property - good roads and a peaceful, pastoral view. Bonnie B.

FAQ about our Lake Tapps 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 Lake Tapps area range from $6.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Matthew's 5.6 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Centralia. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Evergreen Oasis. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
