55Wonderful spot and thoughtfully planned. It was such a treat to have a safe, secure place to practice recall and let our young pup run off some extra energy. We had a very content dog at the end of the hour. So many dogs need this type of safe space but it's hard to come by if you don't have your own property. Thank you to the host for sharing this land and making many local dogs so happy! Kimberly H.

55We went again and our dog did find one of the openings in the gate. So just a confirmation for other dog owners that the spot is mostly, but not all fenced.Kimberly H.

55I booked two hours for my pups, but in reality, one hour was more than sufficient to wear them out! They had a blast running through the trails. Follow the additional directions provided in the booking details and you'll find it just fine. We'll definitely be back to this spot!!Lindsay F.

55Fabulous place. We were visiting the area from BC Canada. Our 2 Australian Shepherds. Had a great time exploring and were so happy and content after an hour. Thank you for sharing a wonderful space that was a safe place for our reactive girl. Alison L.

55Great place for a walk with my dog. We had so much fun exploring. FYI you need to park within the gate. That was not clear to us but we figured it out quickly. Don't use GPS directions. Wonderful, clean and quiet trails. I look forward to visiting again.Tanya S.

55Paul is really helpful and accommodating. We were running a little late and also had to walk up the short hill to the Sniffspot because of the ice, and Paul added a half hour to our time slot to make up for the delays. The woods are lovely and peaceful, and I especially like the little trails.
We did run into three friendly walkers (neighbors?), but they didn't have any dogs and weren't at all bothered by mine.
It's also very nice to be able park inside the gate.Heidi S.

55This was a lovely outing and the dogs had a blast! You definitely need decent recall because while the woods mostly create a barrier, there are places to go where you’re not supposed to. Pretty sure I saw my fast dog make a loop around the road in the distance on her way back to me. It’s not a busy road though so I wasn’t stressed. Will def be back.Jo B.

55We went today to the property and we had a lot of fun! We went with my brother and his family. We have two dogs and they have one dog and a foster dog who they aren’t able to take to public dog parks due to liabilities. One of ours is a five months old spunky puppy and is learning to be social, this was perfect for all of them! The kids ran, the dogs ran, they all played! We didn’t have any issues with the dogs going out of the area and they roamed around together. It’s nice to allow them off leash to play in the woods and explore. There was a gallon of water and a bowl, picnic tables, chairs, and a garbage. We brought water for the dogs just in case, they did need it when we weren’t near the provided water because they were playing so hard! Being a towel to wipe the dogs (and kids) off of you don’t want your car dirty! Also wear shoes you can get wet and don’t mind if you encounter some mud! An hour was perfect as the dogs were tired! They have all slept the rest of the day! We hope to make this a weekly play day! So happy to have found this place! Amber M.

55I can not recommend this spot enough. Our 2 dogs, German Shepherds had so much fun running off leash, exploring this property, and replying to all the other messages left behind by previous visitors. I love that there are no other visitors that normally cause a reaction in the oldest dog. When visiting please make note of the directions provided by Paul. Google maps does not take you to the right location but we were set knowing this ahead of time. We will be back. Thank you Paul.Jamie D.

55Beautiful property that my dogs loved running around! Especially nice that we could pull into the sniff spot and close the gate before unloading the dogs. Easy to walk wide, main path with intersecting smaller trails on the side. Not completely fenced, but borders are marked and there didn’t seem to be any large roads nearby, so with recall I felt like it was safe for my dogs to run ahead and explore. Very fun hour for both humans and dogs. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more frequently!Sherry H.

55Lovely wooded spot with lots of great smells and obstacles for nosy dogs! It is not "fully fenced" but the understory and distance from surrounding properties is sufficient to contain bonded pups. We had a blast! Will return.Franki T.

55Paul is such a gracious host and communicative. We were initially lost (GPS issue) but eventually found the spot. It’s a beautiful area to take your dog walking, practice recall. I highly recommend- especially for those in the Tacoma area (20 min) and looking for some off leash experience. Kate T.

55Very pretty property. Dogs had a blast running and exploring on the trails. Please note that the “get directions” button lead me to the wrong area. You need to get to where 86th Ave NW & Ray Nash Dr NW intersect. Then follow 86th to the end and you’ll be there!Suzan O.

FAQ about our Forks dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 83% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Forks area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Where in Forks can I find a pool for dog swimming?
Sniffspot has swimming options in the Forks area. The highest rated option is Scotty's Sniffspot.
