55Amazing spot! Our dogs loved running around the huge field and splashing in the creek. Would definitely recommend!
55Best sniff spot hands down, Beautiful property! Our dog had a great time, definitely will be back
55A new favorite!
55Another wonderful time at this Sniffspot! I love watching my girl play in the water. We love it here!
55Beautiful place to take the pups. There is plenty of room to explore and run. The little creek area was amazing! We didn't see any other dogs or people.
55Easy to communicate with host. Has a huge open field for romping and chasing balls and my dogs loved the area with long grasses that wasn't mowed. They were pouncing and jumping all over in that, but the piece de resistance was the cedar lined creek. Wow, what a treat and lovely way for cooling off and playing on a hot day. Thank you Heather for sharing your lovely property with us!
55One of the best spots on here! With a reactive dog, it was perfect. The use of both sunny pasture and then wooded areas surrounding the creek, it was a beautiful day. Perfect for relaxing to also running around and throwing the ball.
55Clear instructions, and beautiful little space for our pups to wander and play! Highly recommend.
55My dog had a blast!
55A variety of elements to keep the both dogs interested. Enough space for running and dogs loved the creek and the patch of floppy grass to collapse in. Directions to property were easy to understand.

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
