55Love taking my pups for a walk (or run!) in Don’s woods. We have been there several times and as soon as I get off the freeway they start getting excited as they know where we are going :)Chrissy M.

55Loved this spot and will definitely be back again! The flat, winding wooded paths were great for my senior dog. He got lots of great smells and splashed in a few puddles. The woods we’re so secluded, the couple of gaps in the fence were no issue. We could hear a rooster and a dog in the distance. The fairies and other little figurines throughout would be ideal to keep a young kid entertained while exploring with your dog.Katy K.

55We had a great time! It’s a wonderful place for hide and go seek. Lots of little whimsical surprises around every corner. Not too many muddy spots which is always a big bonus. and the price is great!!
We will be back for sure!

55Wow. What a wonderful Sniffspot! I had to book an early time, so I arrived in the dark. It was a little disorienting at first, but Teddy was off and running. Don's Woods are almost magical. My dog Teddy and I ventured down the forest path and I noticed some special sights. I shined my phone flashlight and found some treasures. I kept finding them down the trail. Very special place. I am going to come back in full daylight; I can't wait. Teddy had a blast; he ran & ran. I will be back to see what more treasures await. Thank you for a lovely time.Jacki D.

55We brought a couple friends and their dog for the first time along with our two dogs. It was great! A bit muddy in places but that is to be expected. Always love this place!Crystal M.

55A great spot! The dogs LOVED it, it was hard to get them back in the car. Lots of trails to explore and an open space for them to wrestle and chase. It was fun for the humans too.Elizabeth N.

55Our dog had a great time sniffing and exploring the woods without the worry of crossing paths with unfamiliar dogs/people. The trails were well maintained and we loved looking out for all the different figures placed within the space. There's also a nice open space where we were able to play fetch. We look forward to visiting again soon!Diana L.

55Absolutely love this sniff spot! It's so much fun for my young daughters to spot all the gnomes. My dogs love the vast space to explore through trails and vegetation. I got a membership so we can come again and again!
Note: While there are farm animals here, they are far enough away my dogs have never seen them. Though we could hear a rooster off in the distance. But my dogs didn't even notice.Ariel B.

55Walk in Don’s Woods is such a peaceful place to enjoy a walk with my dogs. There are plenty of trails to wander and enjoy finding all the treasures and artful pieces that have been cleverly placed around the property. This is my second time visiting, and I plan to return in the future! Robin M.

55We had so much fun! The little treasures along the way made it just as fun for me as it was for my dog. As it’s starting to heat up bug spray is a must & they also have some available, super thoughtful. We can’t wait to go back :) Ada C.

55The pups (3), 2 young and 1 older had a fantastic time. We spent 2 hours and saw lots of the trails. You must have good recall if you have a wondering pup like ours. We will be back! Thank you!Nola O.

FAQ about our Stanwood 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 Stanwood?
There are 16 dog hiking trails in the Stanwood area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Pacific Forest Lands Forest Walk. 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.
