55We have been here several times now and love it each time. In the recent hot weather we’ve been sticking to the woods which is several degrees cooler. It’s very peaceful and truly enchanting, as the name suggests. A truly great place to exercise a reactive dog. Highly recommended!Bonnie B.

55This spot is truly beautiful. I’ve been here 3 times now and it still is just as fun. Today was my first time taking the small trail to the left of the main big trail. I followed my dog to a small waterfall and she had fun running in the water. It’s relaxing, quiet, and clean. I will gladly pay to come back twice a month. Excited to see it in the Fall! Courtney W.

55Lovely! I felt completely safe that we wouldn't run into other dogs and my two had an absolute blast....as did I! It's a beautiful area and next time I plan on walking the conservation trail with them leashed up. Jessi C.

55I can't stress how much I love it here. This spot is amazing with beautiful ancient trees, tall tall grass, a river that doubles as a mud flat, loamy pine and cedar forests and absolutely beautiful nature everywhere. It was like being all alone in the wild and it felt so good to just disconnect and spend time letting my dogs be dogs. After the hike my pooches were pooped, and pretty dirty from the mud (be warned, this is nature, your dog WILL be dirty so bring towels!). We hosed them off and let them settle in the car while we met the hosts charming dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, chickens and the sweetest little donkey in the world. Our host Anja showed us around the best trails and was a laid back and very relaxing host. She clearly loves animals and our dogs liked her immedietly. She was above excellent in navigating the trails and giving us visual checks to find our way on our own next time. I will be back frequently!Kacie B.

55Beautiful spot! The uphill comments were no joke. I’m fat and old and almost died twice :) wear good shoes, bring a camera! My big puppy had a great time here. Plenty to explore but safe paths for my scaredy cat to pretend to be brave on. We went at low tide and it was gorgeous. I can’t imagine what high tide would look like. I will definitely go back. I would love to find the waterfall reviews mention. We had the added bonus of two of the sweetest, ultra polite, dog loving neighbor kids asking to pet our dog which made his day even better!

55We loved this adventure sniff spot and can’t wait to go back! My dogs had so much fun running through the forest and it was enjoyable for me too. Anja provides a lot of information that proves useful once you get to the spot and I appreciate her thoughtfulness and details. We will be making this a regular spot! Andrea N.

55My dog loves this spot. It’s really large and the terrain is varied, making it a great place to explore. My dog likes to splash around in the tide flats and if there isn’t enough water there, he will take a dunk in the small creek which runs through the forest. His favorite part of the property are the trails through the woods. Although one review indicated there isn’t much in the way of trails, I haven’t found that to be the case. We have found a number of trails and although they aren’t wide, they are easy to navigate without bushwhacking through underbrush. Overall, we find this to be a beautiful and peaceful spot for both humans and dogs to enjoy and get some good exercise. Bonnie B.

55Gracie absolutely loved her off-leash romp in the forest and stream. Came home muddy, but we had planned on that. We arrived a little late because we were confused by the 11th street turn off—it is a gravel road that looks like a private driveway.Patricia M.

55Absolutely beautiful! Easy-to-follow property instructions make your first time a blast! My pup Roan enjoyed sprinting through the forest, creek and mud flats. Definitely bring boots and a towel to save your vehicle! The forests make for enchanting views while your pup’s on their own questAlex B.

55Really amazing place with tons of trees, underbrush, and logs for your dog to sniff! Definitely want to wear good shoes and plan for some mud, but my girl had a great time and it was very worth braving a bit of damp to see her so happy!Andy P.

55A little confusing getting around the first time, but the instructions helped a lot. We had five pups romping around and they had the BEST time! Definitely a spot for pups with good recall, as the boundaries snuck up on us a few times. Will 100% be back!Cade D.

55What an amazing spot! My lab loved all the mud and streams. Just make sure not to drive down the lane (park in front of the house) because the mud is DEEP. We had such a lovely time and I’d love to go back when I’m up there again.Chantalle v.

55A Labrador’s HEAVEN. This property has a lot of hiking and water and mud (probably certain times of year) so dress accordingly and bring towels. Your dog is going to have the time of their life. I will be a regular here for as long as it is available. Absolutely magical! Also, I got my car stuck because I didn’t read the directions fully and drove down the dirt road. DO NOT DO THIS. Park at the top and walk down. Also, the host was VERY kind and helpful. 15/10 Alaycia R.

55Expect a downhill hill hike to reach the sweet spot of this Spot...tons to explore, quite secluded & peaceful with well-maintained trails & clearings...ample small wildlife, butterflies & birds to entertain curious pups...give yourself time to explore side trails & remember, it's an uphill hike to get back to your vehicle...my 2 y/o mixed breed had a blast & was gassed by time we left!Alexander T.

FAQ about our Centralia 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.
