55Appreciate the owners open up their land for pooches and their people! We had a great time. The bench on the view loop trail is great for a snack break.Wenwei H.

55So beautiful. It’s on a hill so be prepared to for some steep hikes. Worth it. The creek is dry (July 25) but there is a nice puddle of mud where Jinx decided to lay down. I only made 2 of the trails but they were lovely. Jennie D.

55Very beautiful secluded woods. My dogs had the best time sniffing and exploring the trails. 1 hour was a perfect amount of time for all three trails. Jenna A.

55Nice shaded trail to walk. VERY steep. A good workout for both humans and dogs. Don't recommend for dogs that pull really bad on leashes. The hills are so steep and my dog pulls so bad that I thought I was going down in some spots! Beautiful private walk though and disconnected from civilization. Hannah F.

55My pet enjoyed off leash trail walking. 1 hour allowed us to traverse each trail almost twice. Highly recommend for the predominantly shaded trail. I have no hesitation to return to this spot.Chris M.

55Our dog Daisy loved the trails! The trails are steep so make sure to bring hydration for your dog and yourself. Some dog safe but spray is also recommended. We’d come back again! Bailey M.

55Beautiful wooded location- lots of trails. Perfect for getting out in the shade during the summer heat. We had plenty of fun. The view spot was great. A couple of notes: We had to "pack out" our poop bag. There's no place to throw it out at the entry point. (I wasn't prepared with an airtight bag for the car) Also, There's a trail loop which is pretty level, but other trails snake down a hill and are quite steep. So if you have difficulty walking up or downhill, this might not work for you. Nevertheless, really lovely wooded spot, would go again!beth e.

55Beautiful spot with plenty of room for dogs who love to sniff and run. Well maintained trails worked well for throwing their balls and they enjoyed running down the dry creek bed and jumping over logs and rocks! felt very remote in a good way. A hidden gem. Sarah M.

55Like your own private slice of forest park! I’ve been to a few sniff spots so far and they’ve all been wonderful but this one is so incredible! Me and my dog bruno loved exploring the 3 trails and being in the forest. While we love forest park, it’s so nice not to have to worry about any dogs that might be rounding the next corner as bruno can sometimes be reactive. It was a warm afternoon but perfect in the shaded areas of the trails. We will definitely be back! Nicole S.

55Great spot with lots of creek beds, short trails and a small meadow for sniffing and exploring. We brought two dogs who were thrilled to enjoy the trails off-leash. This was our first time to any sniffspot, and we will definitely return. Michelle S.

55This is such a perfect place for our dogs to free roam and enjoy all of the new smells. We can let them explore without the concern of running into other people with dogs.
The trails are just steep enough for us to get a good hike and get our hearts pumping as well :)Kim J.

FAQ about our Canby 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.
