55Such a dream! Our Golden loved getting all his sniffs in at this amazing location. The directions are easily to follow and the trails were well maintained! I loved being able to let him off leash and explore without the risk of encountering anyone! Will definitely be back! Hyebin D.

55This is the best Sniffspot we’ve been to! Tons of room to run and trails to explore. We took our boy here to celebrate his 1st birthday and he did NOT want to leave! We will be back! Kimmie H.

55Great place. We could see horses in the distance and hear a dog in the distance but there was thick brush to deter my reactive dog from investigating, and it looked like the facility was fully fenced. My dog really enjoyed the off leash time. It was unusually warm so it was a nice touch that there was a cooler of water for my pup to drink and a picnic table in shade.Alexis G.

55This spot is great! It was easy to find with the hosts directions, very clean, private, and fences were exactly where you would want them to be. It was a warm day, so the water and chairs were appreciated. We also found a ball that added to all the fun! It’s still there for the next sniffer to find! Can’t wait to come back! Rebekah J.

55This was our first time trying out Sniffspot and we enjoyed Paul’s spot! Our GSD had fun romping around the trails and exploring all the smells. We appreciated the fresh (and cool, despite how hot it was outside!!) water for our pup. We did not see areas where our dog could have successfully exited the sniffspot, in case anyone is worried about that. Do plan for this to be more of a spot to roam the trails than to throw a ball. As you would expect for the area, the growth alongside the trails includes blackberry bushes (read: thorns), so beware your pup’s paws if they veer off course. And if you go in the evening, bring some bug spray! ;)Victoria B.

55This sniff spot is EXCELLENT! So many great amenities like trash cans, poop bags, picnic tables, water jugs, and hand sanitizer. The pups had a blast and the trails were peaceful and beautiful. Paul is an excellent host and even helped us when we lost a pair of nice sunglasses. This will become a regular spot for us!Kristen K.

55We had a lovely time at this spot! It was our first visit, and we made a rookie mistake by following the curvature of the road to a different, locked gate instead of staying straight on 86th. Fortunately for us, the host kindly responded ASAP to help us find the actual entrance. The setup is great, with a clearing with chairs and water to serve as a base from which to explore the various trails. The trail with the bridge was closed for repairs (can’t fault a host for maintaining their spot!), so we have something to look forward to next visit. After an initial circuit to familiarize ourselves, we ended up keeping our pup on a long lead. He is sometimes a “choose your own adventure” type and there were definitely places here and there where he might have decided to follow his curiosity out of bounds. It didn’t matter—we had fun!Kristin O.

55Just a fantastic place to spend some time with your family and dog. It was full of water stations and balls for our dog to play with, super private, and a nice big space to run around in. We had a wonderful time.Jenny M.

55Greatest place on earth ! Well maintained paradise for us and our four legged family. When I put on their bug repellent and orange scarves with the bells they know where they are going. I booked my birthday and our anniversary (yep got hitched on my birthday) to include a visit to this wonderful place. The visit I’m reviewing is mother’s day- can’t think of a better place to be with my fur kids! (My mom passed away) I also booked two visits when my dog loving friend visits from California in June - thank you for sharing your paradise Paul. I’m nurturing lots of little trees I hope to someday contribute to Paul’s paradise (with his permission of course) 🌲 🐶 Susan C.

55This is a fantastic place to take your doggies! It was secluded enough to give a sense of really being "out in the woods." The trails are well maintained, with several "secret" picnic tables and we saw 2 fire pits with logs next to them. Not sure if those are for guests that visit, but it definitely has a great campground feel to it. The maps at the entrance were very helpful. We only did half the trails today. I highly recommend wearing good walking shoes. Some trails are very narrow and hilly. Others are wide and flat. I found a stick I used as a walking stick and left it at the green chairs. There are watering stations and poop bags throughout the trails with several garbage cans, along with various seating options if you need to take a rest. It is a very clean and well maintained property and the trail names are hilarious. This was the first time we went and our dogs LOVED being off leash and running around. Thank you so much for having this available. We will be visiting again soon.Kathy R.

55This park is so beautiful and I love watching the plants change with the seasons. Dog goes squirrel crazy it’s a great opportunity for premack training. I’m always very grateful the people who own this land are willing to share!Jo B.

55Amazing spot! Our two dogs had the best time sprinting on the trails. Can’t recommend this spot more. The many water bowls with containers of water next to it was such a nice touch. Will be coming back for sure. Brittany G.

FAQ about our Chehalis 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.
