55Wow- this is one of the best Sniffspots I’ve ever been to and I wish I booked it for longer. So beautiful and so many terrain options for pups to explore. The host has very detailed directions so that even the most map illiterate people (me) can find their way. Thank you so much we will definitely be back!Makenna W.

55What a lovely Sniffspot! We drove to a parking area a short distance from the river. We walked along the river shoreline while watching the fish jumping. Our dog enjoyed lots of sniffs! Looking forward to returning here!Diana S.

55Great spot. Our dog really enjoyed sniffing along the riverbank. It's spawning season, so there are a lot of dead fish on the bank- this could be a problem if your dog is the kind that will try to eat or roll in dead fish. Our dog doesn't do that sort of thing, fortunately. Rachel R.

55We loved our first visit to Pajo Ranch! Definitely needed more time and a picnic basket! We walked the trails several times going back to the river again and again for a splash and a drink. We drove all the way down to the woods entrance easily in my SUV. The maple trees on the property are gigantic and enchanting, be sure to look for them. Kristin s.

55Great spot, the river is amazing and peaceful. We had a blast! Directions and map were very helpful and Robin was a great communicator. Overall great experience.
My only feedback is a I wish there was a garbage bin at the beginning of the field or somewhere accessible. I totally support picking up my dog’s poo- but I wasn’t a huge fan of having to bring it back in my car with me to find the nearest gas station. 🙃 Lizzy C.

5510/10! will be visiting frequently, we brought six puppers and didnt even touch the whole property. We only had an hour slot but would have loved a 4 hr! The river was our dogs favorite spot (probably because of all the dead fish they got to roll in) bring towels until summer is back! we drove basically to the woods. Mckenzie W.

55This spot was great to let our pups run around and there is lots of room for fetch and playing! There were dead fish all over around the river which is to be expected during this time of year so just be careful. Elizabeth G.

55It’s as beautiful as you hope it will be and just as fun. I’m a bit directionally challenged so it took me a hot minute to figure out the instructions for getting to the beach but the owner was available to check in with had I gotten too turned around! I can’t wait to come back!Mollyrose D.

55We love this spot and come here often. Robin is really nice and helpful, and it’s a beautiful place for a long walk. If your dog is uncomfortable around other dogs, or if you aren’t comfortable with strange dogs, I would recommend driving at least past where the big gray house is to the left of the field. We have had a small brown dog come out from the bushes onto the dirt road barking at us twice now in the morning. We were able to walk out of sight and wait it out for a few minutes and then pass without incident, but if you are able to drive past that spot you won’t see it. I think the road is pretty passable, we just actually really like walking the dirt road in addition to the forest trails for the extra distance even if it’s on leash, but I know a lot of people drive all the way to the woods anyway, and if that’s the case you shouldn’t have any issue at all.Lara M.

55Muddy and wet awesome walk a couple weekends ago! Robin sent us a map before we got there which was super helpful. Planning to come back in the warmer months to enjoy the River some more. Will be back! Athina M.

55It is my second time at this spot! We always have such a great time! The water at the river was very high this time (obviously due to the season) so there was only a small beach but it was still great fun. I will be back again! Cris B.

55We parked at the barn and took a long leashed walk down to the woods/water. The river was high and running swift so we kept Doc out of it for the most part. We plan to come back when there is more shoreline! Stunning area and definitely used the entire two hours.Sara P.

55We love this sniff spot every single time! Definitely a little more fun when the water level is lower but there’s still plenty of place for your dogs to run. Bella R.

55Amazing location for our pup and us to walk and run about. The trails and river access are great. There is a great variety of terrain (river bank, sand, road, and forest trails). The owners are great. We’ve been going for over a year now each week and love this spot. BRIAN S.

FAQ about our Sultan 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Sultan area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Small Dog Meetup. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Small Dog Meetup. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
