55After searching for areas close to my home I decided to take a shot at this place even though its not "in the neighborhood". I'm sure glad I did and the drive there was as beautiful as the place itself. I can't imagine a better place for my boys to go. It has everything. So much property for them to explore with woods, fields and streams. The owners has a done a beautiful job of maintaining this and making it a wonderful spot for your pets as well as for the pet owner. Nice maintained paths and wooden bridges to go over all the little streams. One stream large enough for your pet to splash through. The owners have even placed seating throughout the area. This whole area was beautiful and peaceful and the pets just loved exploring. If you have spare time....book a couple hours and pack a picnic...its that great. The hosts are very nice, helpful, and attentive. I'm going to try my best to make this a weekly outing for me and my boys. Book it, you won't regret it!!Linda G.

55This is nearly the perfect Sniff Spot for what my dogs enjoy! There is a large grassy area when you first enter the Sniff Spot which is partially shaded and level allowing for the pups to chase their ball or just relax in the soft grass. From the grassy area, you'll cross a bridge over a creek where the dogs enjoyed splashing around and cooling down on a hot day. Beyond that, there are numerous well maintained trails leading through the forested area and back down to another creek area. The area is not entirely fenced so you'll want to keep an eye on your dogs. We all got a lot of exercise from running up the trails and appreciated that there were several spots where we could just sit and relax when we needed a break. John and Stephanie were such wonderful hosts and welcomed us as friends. We drove over an hour from Seattle to get there but it was well worth the drive and will definitely plan on coming back here. I advise good footwear that you won't mind getting wet. Jill C.

55This was my second trip there and I already have a 3rd planned. The owners of this property are so nice and friendly and honestly will do everything the can to make your visit enjoying. I was still amazed at this place with the well maintained trails. We even discovered a couple new ones. It actually looks like the owners may be working on a couple more just to make the adventure more interesting for the pups to explore.
Having a couple open fields make it great for you to play with your dogs, or in my case since they are older dogs I can run with them back and forth to get their (and my) exercise. Didn't bring a toy? .....believe me...the one pup had no problem finding sticks that you can toss around and even into the creek for a "splash through the creek when they retrieve it. The creeks are awesome little spots throughout where the dogs can dip in and get a nice cool drink.
The owners have made a great little bench that can fold down to alittle picnic table if you wanted to have a nice little picnic as well. There is shaded and sunny areas. You have the place to yourself with no other dogs or people around. The drive out to this nice farm is beautiful as well.
You just can't go wrong with this place, and I can't wait to go back. Its a wonderful experience for both you and your pets.
Thank you owners Stephanie and John!!Linda G.

55take a pretty drive to this gorgeous property. you’ll be greeted by the kind and gracious john and stephanie who will guide you through the pasture where your dog can see chickens, goats, and scottish highland cows. across the creek you and your dog can run and climb winding trails through trees and forest vegetation. put your feet in the cool clear water, breathe in the clean air, and enjoy the joyful exuberance your dog displays. this may have been my newly adopted puppy aila’s best day ever. i felt my stress and anxiety melt away. i could not recommend this excursion highly enough.lisa L.

55Visited this farm as our very first Sniff Spot this weekend - and it’s goin to be a tough act to follow! Beautiful property, friendly hosts, lots of open and wooded spaces, and even charming farm animals. My dogs had a blast. Our pup hadn’t yet had any opportunities to explore big open spaces, winding trails, and spring creeks off leash - and she thoroughly exhausted herself. We’ll definitely be back, and probably book two hours next time!Polly O.

55This is the most beautiful Sniffspot! John showed us the property and it's just a dream-- tons of tiny trails, creeks, a hidden cabin in the middle of it all, and so much to smell and explore for a dog! If your dog isn't great at recall, you'll get a workout chasing them around, but even when Rey was out of sight, she always ran back to check on me. This is huge and technically unfenced, so do be aware of that, but we didn't have a problem. John and Stephanie were super friendly and we introduced Rey to the goats, who confounded and intrigued her. I'll be back with my whole family next time!Jessica W.

55We had a really good time here. The trails are good and there were plenty of things for my dog to sniff around. Having a creek that runs through the property is a bonus. Definitely will come back. It is a great place for reactive dogs like mine. Vy V.

FAQ about our Milwaukie 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 Milwaukie?
There are 15 dog hiking trails in the Milwaukie 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.
