55First time here- easy to find, great signage, peaceful, trails with a brook, and nice area to relax in sun or shade. Camping chairs were a nice bonus! If you have a smaller dog that likes to go in or under things be mindful of building on property - our explorer was obsessed with trying to get under the structures but remained safe. All in all a nice time for all on a spring Sunday afternoon! Lara T.

55First timer here! Will return for many visits. Grounds were clean, everything well stocked, very accommodating. I have anti social dogs so it was great to just let them roam and run without any worries of people or other animals. Caylynn C.

55Everything was just as described and we enjoyed walking the various trails and along the creek, and relaxing on the patio. We heard goats and birds. Thanks for the water, towel and bug spray! Jessica A.

55What an incredible spot! Host provided everything you could need on site and more, gave clear instructions for the visit, entry/trails/areas were clearly marked throughout the property making everything easy to navigate making for a stress free relaxing experience. Big open field, multiple wooded and creekside trails, our new favorite place for a safe and fun adventure. Lindsey J.

55What a gift! Thank you for sharing this sweet patch of land so our pup could explore nature. Lots of shady places to pause in the heat. She loved the wee creek and being free to roam. We will be back! Khava D.

55Great spot! Easy to find. My dog loved running around the trails for a bit and then settled on playing fetch in the small field beside the houses. Mix of shade and sun which was great for our hot day.Jaclyn M.

55Great area to bring the dogs. Plenty of paths and sniffing available. The lack of a fence wasn’t an issue for me because the area was so big. Trash on site for dog poop was a huge plus! Plenty of accommodation Katie B.

55It’s a nice and secluded sniff-spot! I loved that I could let my pup race into the woody-trail without having to worry about other dogs around. It was great for practicing recall too! Then, there was a nice lawn area where I could relax at while my dog sniffed around the grass. Overall very peaceful. Desiree D.

55This is the first time I have ever used sniff spot. I am dog sitting my son’s dog for the week and he needed to run. This space was so much fun I am going to try and reserve it for my own 2 dogs (and we have a yard). They are reactive so hiking trails can be tough on crowded days…this is everything on one…trails, a ravine and clear open yard space for fetch. I loved itMelissa B.

55This is a wonderful place to go around and hike off leash with my dog! It’s a bit of a short, hilly hike but Enoki and I enjoyed it! You can tell that the owners care a lot about the property as it’s taken care well and has a lot of extras! We will be back soon!! Chrisdy A.

55This was such a GREAT spot to visit! So relaxing and with so many accommodations! There were many little trails to walk on and 2 large ‘yards’ to play fetch in. It’s a place you could hang out at all day! I had great service (AT&T) and it was very easy to find with clear signs. Can’t wait to go back! Sarah G.

55This is the second time I've visited this Sniffspot with a friend and her dog, and we both love it. It is quite tranquil and has plenty of shady paths for warm summer days. The host has provided lots of thoughtful touches, such as a table, chairs, and a fire pit, as well as water and a garbage can. I can heartily recommend this spot!Sara E.

FAQ about our Silverdale 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.
