55Always a fun place to go with the little creek and so much of it still in its natural beauty. The walk up and down the hill is perfect for my energetic boxers and ME!
55Really loved this space. It was easy to find, it was so beautiful, and my pup throughly enjoyed the visit and the land. I can’t wait to return. One thing I will note is the neighbor does have a dog that will peep through the holes in the fence and there is a notice saying they might bark and act reactive just due to territorial behaviors. Our pup did not see the dog until we were leaving but if you are handling a pup that can’t not see another, I would just be mindful. I still think this spot is absolutely worth a visit. It was the furthest thing from boring!
55Very nice spot! There were a few toys available and a cute little creek right past the trees too. Our dog LOVED running around after his ball in such a beautiful space
55We've been here a few times and our dog absolutely loves it! We took him for a evening adventure and saw a beautiful sunset while we were playing ball with the chuckit ( they provide the chuckit ) As it got darker we could hear two owls hooting back and forth 🦉🌲 Rider was so interested in what sounds he was hearing 🐾
55Great for two city cattle dogs to run and let loose. Beautiful property.
55Really beautiful peaceful spot, our dogs loved running in the field and exploring the creek
55great spot!
55They have a wonderful sniff spot. Hosts are great!
55Nice open fenced yard with a creek. Very relaxing and the dog enjoyed it too.
55So fun! We had. A great time

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“We have dogs up at the house and they have a dog yard, but you may still hear them barking and see them from their sliding glass door. Our neighbors with the green fencing along the sniffspot also have dogs and they at times do come down to the fence line. They do bark along the fence line when they come out. Please be respectful to our neighbors. Our neighbor on the back side of the creek also have a dog and you can sometimes see them out on the weekends. Our neighbors along the driveway also have a dog. We all love being in the “country” and enjoy our animals. My neighbors are supportive of our sniffspot but also deserve respect even when their dogs are barking. This is their neighborhood too. Thank you for understanding.”

Description

**We are taking a little break from bookings for some family time but will be back and excited to see all of you in July!** Tucked back off the road is a not so boring field and little wooded area with a creek running through. We saw the magic in it when we bought it in 2024 and decided we wanted to share it with others in 2025. We hope you love it as much as we do 🐶❤️

Private Dog Park by the Creek

Partially Fenced
1 acre

Private Dog Park on 1+ Acres Near Mt. Scott Creek IMPORTANT: Fresh tap water is not available in the dog field across the creek, and water bowls are not provided. If you prefer that your dog not drink from the creek, please bring your own drinking water and bowl. Just five minutes from Clackamas Town Center, our one-acre field offers plenty of open space, rolling hills, and access to peaceful Mt. Scott Creek. The creek flows year-round, although the water level drops during summer, and several areas allow dogs to wade and cool off on warm days. Please be aware that the creek is not fenced at either end, so this spot may not be suitable for dogs likely to follow the creek beyond the property. We do not use conventional chemical pesticides. The field is treated with organic diatomaceous earth in early spring and late fall to help control pests. The creekside can become muddy during winter, but most of the property—especially the upper fields—remains dry throughout the year. Please bring: • Drinking water for your dog • Your own water bowl • A towel during wet or muddy weather Because the property is large, dog waste can easily be missed. Please keep track of where your dog goes and pick up all waste after. Complimentary waste bags are provided, with one trash bin near the creek and another in the upper field. Sniffin’ Hours: Monday to Sunday Spring & Summer: 8 AM – 9:00 PM Autumn & Winter: 8 AM – 7 PM Thanks for Sniffin’ at our Spot! —Daniel & Family
