55The trails were so much fun and my girls had a blast running around in the little stream.
55This place is super cute!
45Cute spot! The trails are a little overgrown and it’s spiderweb season, but we were prepared and had a great time sniffing around and enjoying all of the play structures. 4 stars because there was a pickup truck with a person inside parked at the spot entrance when I arrived at my scheduled time. They said they were there to spread woodchips on the trails but would come back later. A large pile of woodchips was left in the driveway, making it difficult to navigate out of the spot when we left.
55Really special spot. This time of year it is pretty densely forested, don’t worry, I cleared out all the spiderwebs for you :-) you feel off the grid which is really nice. If your pup ball obsessed, there isn’t really any place to throw a ball for them, but plenty of trails to keep them happy otherwise. 
55We had a wonderful time in the woods!
55Really great spot, my dog and I both enjoyed it and will likely be back. The directions and signage were clear and easy to follow.
55AWESOME Sniffspot!! Amazing forest paths! It's not HUGE, but there are a few paths that intersect and circle around to wander on, and seats along the trail (both logs and human-made ones!) to sit and meditate (.....?with dogs running around psychotically?.....) okay, at least to sit and enjoy the peaceful space for a moment. A playground set for little humans (or dogs who know how to play on climbing/sliding sets!), fresh water, and even a port-a-potty with a LIGHT in it. And the moss is amazing. It was like being in the Hoh rainforest without crossing the sound! There's a creek that runs through it, but it was dried-up unfortunately (sign of the times) :( Mushrooms, slugs, and all kinds of other little forest beings to say hi to! Pretty cool little Hipcamp sites too, if you don't need a lot of room for tents. We'll definitely put it on our Hipcamp list! All in all we had a wonderful time! Got a few nature photos to share, but we were playing too much to get many! The real sign of an amazing Sniffspot = no photos to share because you're too busy enjoying yourself!! 😁👍😁 Thanks for offering part of your wonderful world to us 'Sniffsters', Jan! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶🐶🐶🐕🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾🐾
55First time visiting, our dogs loved it!
45Nice spot! The dogs had fun, and it’s nice and shady. It’s a little overgrown so a bit harder to navigate the trails.
55A perfect place to take our reactive dog on walk in the woods!

Description

Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot is a large mystical woodland adventure for dogs in Redmond on the way to Carnation. Boots are recommended in the winter rain. MMF is preferred by puppies, dogs, people, adults and kids alike because it has potable water, power, picnic tables, chairs, several firepits, lit portapotties, 3 swing sets, 3 slides, monkey bars, 3 Forts, a log bridge to cross over Little Ames Creek for when the creek is flowing, a doggy playground, lots of picturesque moss, lighted parking lot, woodchip trails and many footpaths over 5 forested moss covered acres. Parking is near the road, separated by 50 ft of woods, so we suggest that all our doggy friends be leashed until they are on the trails with you. Please leash your dog until into the forest away from the parking area, after that Bob's Your Uncle! Watch kids and dogs in the parking area near the road, and at Ames Creek. A secluded place to dork out and have fun, enjoying a natural Pacific rainforest. Note that the creek is dry in midsummer until the fall and winter rains kick in. Boots are recommended in the fall and winter. Find a map of the main trails in a photo on our MMF Sniffspot site. There are lots of foot trails through the understory ferns. The log bridge can be used to cross Ames Creek, or you can ford it to discover the rest of Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot. Please pack out doggy bags with you because there is no garbage pickup here, please leave no trace. If there is a downpour and you want to wait it out there is a dry shed in the parking area. Access to power helps keep your batteries charged. Please carry your toilet paper (sorry it walks away). The portapotties are cleaned once a week. Please visit our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555379018442 Let us know if you have any questions. Synchronized play bowing to you!

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Separated by bushes and trees, the road is 50 ft from the parking lot, so we recommend leashing your dog until you are on the trails, or doggo becomes used to the location, and heads for the secluded forest trails right away. There is a log bridge to cross the creek when it may get as much as 6 inches deep in the winter. A great off-leash park full of fun exploring please wear boots!

I was born in Washington State. We have dogs, and we thought we'd offer our property to explore a new place with all kinds of wonderful things that dogs love. We installed a playset that has a ramp and stairs that dogs hop right up to hang out in and get pets and maybe a little treat! We also have a small creek running through the forest, that is usually shallow and slow moving - the perfect size for dogs. Right after a big rain it can get up to a foot deep. We have found dogs just love the log bridge and will run back and forth on it. There's lots of chairs, fire pits, picnic tables. If you get caught out in the rain we supplied a shelter that is dry so you can wait it out. We update our Sniffspot as much as possible. For example, we just laid down fresh wood chips this week. Enjoy!
