55This place is AWESOME with multiple areas to explore and views to admire. We were entertained by not only the extra-large space, but the creative amenities. From water play in the clean yet muddy pond, to the trail hikes on drier terrain, we had a blast!
We appreciated the labeled parking at the top of the steep hill for vehicles that are not 4-wheel drive.
Compost restroom on site— clean and SO appreciated!
We will be back to explore and play more!Ashtyn B.

55Absolutely an amazing spot! First time here and we loved it! My dogs prefer running through the forest, swimming and looking for squirrels vs playing fetch. They had a blast. Everything is well provided for and we will be back!
P.S. the road down the hill was okay today in in a 4Runner not in 4WD. Liz N.

55Luna and Bowser approved, 10/10!
The girls loved the water, it stole the show. This was a really great place for the girls to stretch their legs, I was nervous about it being unfenced (even though we have great recall), and my worries were put to rest the second we got down there! It’s private, and secure, and there’s so much to do! Thank you for sharing your spot with us! Caitlin F.

55We had a great time. Our girl loved trying the obstacles and running on the trails. Can’t wait for it to get warmer so she can enjoy the water. Shay S.

55Dream property, owners have done an amazing job with it. Beautiful and private with everything you could possibly need for you and your dogs. We did see a person and a couple of dogs across the pond when we arrived, but it was far enough that our dogs didn’t notice (and it wasn’t accessible from where we were).Emily P.

55This is the best sniff spot I’ve ever been to! Water, trails, open fields, agility equipment, safe and easy parking. There is a designated dig pit and life jackets for the dogs. So many thoughtful touches. Big enough to entertain for our 1.5 hour trip. We will be back and book a longer stay next time. Jess L.

55We had a great visit to tail waggers! This was our fist visit to a fully unfenced spot. Our boys did well because there were so may things to see and do here. We went on a non rainy day but cold. The dogs still wanted to swim. This was our fist time but not the last. We stayed an hour but next time we will book for longer because there is so much to do and see. Thank you so much we had a great time!Stephanie W.

55This place was awesome! There was so much for my senior pup to explore on his birthday outing. Even though he's a bit timid, he did try some of the agility ramps and loved exploring on the trails. Highly recommend but make sure you wear proper footwear during the cooler, rainy months. It does get muddy but it's so much fun!Kimberly M.

55My dogs love this place! Lots of room to run and play, and very thoughtfully maintained! Today they tried some of the agility course, dug in the new digging sand box, and we even took out the little boat! Amanda W.

55This is the most amazing place for you and your pup. They literally have a bit of everything and there are so many great training opportunities. The fact you can be on an off-leash “hike” and not have to worry about other off-leash dogs is truly a dream come true. It gave us opportunities to train in new environments, and also have lots of fun! Plenty of property to throw the ball, in addition to so many other fun things to do. We will absolutely be back. We had the best time! Tayler J.

55Wow this place is amazing!! Huge, beautiful, so much to do, great hosts. We had so much fun :) Def recommend wearing boots or shoes you don't care about - it does get muddy and a bit slippery, but that's all part of the fun!! We'll definitely be coming back :) Bailey X.

55Amazing spot for the pups! We had a great time with our three pups. We arrived before sunrise and forgot a flashlight but the pups all had lights on their collars and enjoyed running around in the dark for 20 minutes. Our picture shows the dogs as just streaks of light, haha. The lake access is easy with a ramp but the dogs also enjoyed jumping off the edges. We had a great time exploring one of the trails, saw a great blue heron and fish jumping. Really appreciated the clear trail signs and the towel station. Very nice spot, could easily spend two hours there. Can be very muddy so wear the right footwear! One pup got some blackberry brambles tangled in his fur. But awesome variety of things to see and explore. Robyn W.

FAQ about our Oregon City 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 Oregon City?
There are 16 dog hiking trails in the Oregon City 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.
