55Wow! My first time using SniffSpot and I was not disappointed! This mini forest was amazing. Fully fenced, lots of places to roam, sniff, and play. Gabrielle M.

55What a wonderful day! This was our second time here and our dogs just love it. They have the freedom to explore and run and we feel secure in knowing that the property is fully fenced and that our dogs won’t ever be too far away. We will definitely be back!Kira R.

55Wow! Best. Sniffspot. Ever. The property is wonderful, with a stream, woods and grassy places to play. My dog Teddy absolutely LOVED it! He ran & explored to his heart's content, then waded through the water to cool off & get a drink. Besides the Spot being incredible, Grace, the host, was even more incredible! She greeted us and was very kind & accommodating, offering use of any of the supplies (poop bags, sanitizer, toys, etc.). There was even a colorful hand-written note welcoming us by name! Grace left a little dog bone for Teddy & a chocolate for me in a bag hanging from my car's door handle. A sweet surprise & the nicest way to end a terrific visit. I signed up for Membership during a rest on our mini-forest hike; we definitely want to come back. (That was even before the chocolate :)Jacki D.

55What a wonderful roomy and beautiful place to romp and play! Grace was so friendly and informative. The treats at the end of the mini hike were a pleasant added touch. We will be making this spot a regular on our Sniffspot rotation.Jennifer J.

55We had a great time! Barlow loved sniffing everything and I had peace of mind knowing it was fully fenced and I wouldn’t lose track of her. The space is well maintained and very clean, with lots of space to explore. Grace is a wonderful host and so hospitable! Mayka W.

55An amazing spot! We had the best time exploring the trails and stream. Well-kept trails and grounds with a fun variety of wooded trails and open areas. Host came out to meet us and make sure we knew how to access the spot. There were toys and poop bags available for our use. The spot has picnic benches and chairs and an outhouse for human use, too! When we left, we even had a goodie bag at our car with a doggie biscuit and a chocolate treat! We'll definitely be back.Kei T.

55Biggest most fun sniffspot ever. The creek gave Simba the super zoomies and all the trails were just delightful. Kept our pup on a long leash because he doesn’t have recall skills but he had the best day and has been passed out since we got home hours ago. Kristyn S.

55Such a great time!! The sniffspot is huge, plenty of things to explore. My dogs were a little hesitant of the water at first, but they ended up going in for a splash and it was a lot of fun. A little far from Mill Creek, but definitely worth the drive. We'll be back soon! :)Jenny P.

55This was my first SniffSpot and it exceeded my expectations! It's rare to find a spot available that is fenced in. I was able to let my dog run freely without concern. He loved the stream running through it and I enjoyed the mini trails throughout. It is very clean and the host was exceptionally nice. My dog has some fear aggression with new people and she handled it great! We will 1000% be coming back and we're already planning our next stay while there. An hour is plenty of time to go through it all, but I would book two next time. Brooke S.

55This was an amazing first experience with sniff spot. I don’t trust my dogs off leash with other dogs around, so a private spot was perfect. It felt like we were out in the forest for our own private hike, which we were! The dogs and I had a blast. The host was friendly and gave us privacy. I’ll be back ASAP!Leigh T.

55Great spot! I wish I booked two hours. Very friendly and helpful host. Fence has some spots that smaller dogs or adamant on escaping dogs could fit through. I will be returning here again and again. Garrett O.

FAQ about our Vancouver 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.
