55Our first visit and first use of sniffspot. Couldn’t be happier with the kind and helpful host, Barb, and her wonderful property. The vast fields with an orchard and winding, wooded trails were perfect for our 2 year old poodle mix. Basil loved having the place to himself and felt safe and comfortable the whole time. Looking forward to another visit soon and sharing this gem with some of his dog friends. Diana H.

55What a wonderful spot! Our pup had an amazing time zooming in the field and exploring the woods. Barb was lovely and had really thought of everything- from balls and chuckits, poop bags, water bowls, to a port a potty and shelter for the humans. The woods were so fun to explore and really well cared for. Will definitely be back! Stephanie Z.

55Rain and all! This was incredible! So much for the pups to explore. The wide open spaces to really stretch their legs combined with the trails for exploring. They loved it all! My reactive guy doesn’t get a lot of off leash time and this made his day/week! Terry P.

55This was a wonderful, fully fenced spot for my dog to explore! She had a blast! I love that we could do a little off leash trail walking without having to worry about her wondering off to far. Ally V.

55What a treasure!! Barb was very friendly and gracious. She has everything you might need; poop bags, water, shade structure in the field, hose to rinse off the dogs, fetch-it balls, frisbees, herding balls...and the forest!!! Oh the forest. So beautiful and, yes, "peaceful". I'll be back many more times to explore all the various trails and to simply enjoy being able to relax with my dog off leash knowing we're both safe and sound in a little slice of heaven. Thank you for sharing your lovely property Barb :)Dale M.

55My dogs had a great time. For the human portion of the team, the hill going up is fairly steep. The area was huge, lots of trails and trees and a little stream too. As the human half of the team, I very much appreciated the presense of an outhouse. If your dog crosses the stream, they can end up on the part of the property that is not a sniffspot - its still fenced, just be aware. Laura O.

55This is such a fun and beautiful place. Grace was so nice and welcoming. My 2 dogs had a wonderful time and my husband and I did also. We love the outdoors, but our dogs are very anxious so the react on a leash towards others. Grace's place is perfect because you can go on your own private hike with your pups and work on recall while letting them wonder about. It's fully fenced so we felt very safe. I highly recommend coming here. We will definitely be back soon. Alyssa L.

55OMG!! What an awesome find!!!! We had such a great time hiking through the forest watching our pup zoom through all the trees. He was a big fan of the river as well!! Grace’s property is a dogs paradise for sure. Would love to come back and camp in her cabins that are scattered through! Bring your boots on typical Washington day, but so worth it!! The welcome sign with our names & a little goodie bag on our car were great touches!! 5 stars 🌟🌟Jess & Hayden E.

FAQ about our Maple Ridge 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.
