55Made it up to the mountain this time and the views were stunnin! Definitely make sure to book plenty of time if you plan to do the whole hike, as there are some obstacles like fallen trees and thorny bushes. Kim L.

55Owner Brad gave me a clear direction how to get to the top of the mountain. I was little worry that it might not make it because I just booked for two hours, but we made it and came back to my car on time.
This sniffspot is a real trail hiking. It was so fun and you can get a great view from the top of the mountain. I read somebody's review that was saying wearing hiking shoes is better, so lucky I did!!!
After the real trail hiking, my boys wanted to soak up at the creek. Bugs were flying around, so you should have a bug spray with you.
I wish we have more time be there, then my boys could sniff around the spot. We definitely will be back in this summer.Akane M.

55I have finally found the perfect place for hiking with my dogs. The trails are well maintained. It truly is like your very own peaceful forest that you can let your fur babies run free unleashed. I have another visit booked for next week as well!Vidara K.

55What an incredible Sniffspot! The dogs loved running around and exploring the trail, plus it was a great hike. Brad gave great directions for the hike and we got to see gorgeous wildflowers at the top of the mountain. The dogs also loved being able to play in the water. Highly recommend!! Haley F.

55This is a beautiful hike through the woods and onto open power lines. The views are amazing. There is a creek to splash in at the end and the host has done so much work to clear the trails and make them wide and easy. Highly recommend!!Dee J.

55This was a first time visit and we really enjoyed ourselves here. The site is well-signed from the street level to the parking site to where the trail starts. Wear good shoes as there are some hills to climb. Lovely shady walk to start up to the sunny powerline walk. Kai loved the water feature (the stream) but didn't want to cross the bridge as the step to it is a bit tricky. Water level very low so no problem to cross. Plan to spend some time here - we booked an hour and a half but will want more time the next time we come. We like to hike so this spot was perfection!June M.

55What a great spot and communicative host! Directions to park and find the sniffspot are clear, and there's even a trash can in the parking area. Next time I'll wear some shoes with traction, as my tennis shoes weren't quite cutting it. Although the ground was dry, its slippery in spots due to the dryness and hills.Lisa H.

55We had a great time on our "hike" today. The trail is steep in spots but well maintained. The dogs explored on and off. At the top under the power lines is perfect for fetch as well as walking and eating blackberries.Tina P.

FAQ about our Bow 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.
