55Dogs had a great time. Our border collie was in sensory overload :-) Lots of trails to wander around….especially the neighboring DNR land. Everything is well marked and appreciate the water/bowl up near the pasture. Will be back again.Steven Z.

55The pictures and description match the location. We had a great time. There was a some mud, which was 100% expected considering recent weather. It was great that they have a towel available to help clean paws before they get back in the car. 🐾Tori P.

55Roman had a wonderful time exploring this property! He learned what an electric fence was, that’s pretty much a life skill for a dog. He ran the whole time and really enjoyed being able to cool off in the water. We live an hr+ away but we’ll be back. Olivia M.

55This was our first visit & we will definitely be back. We didn't plan our time very well since it gets dark so early but the hosts were very kind & made sure that we knew we were safe on their property. Our sweet pup Roxi loved sniffing around the edge of the ponds & got a little too close at one point & took a little unintended dip. Looking forward to exploring more in the daylight some day.Sandy W.

55A delightful spot. So glad to have visit. Wonderful winding trails through enchanted old growth woods. Well marked so even a directionally challenged person like me cannot get lost. Very well thought out to the finest detail. Will be excited to keep this in our rotation for my reactive boy. We did see some horses that belonged to the neighbor. It always make me so happy when my fearful boy is so accepting. Looking forward to next time. Sadaf H.

55Such a beautiful place to drive and spot to let your pup romp. Despite there still being a little snow left from the recent storm, the trails were clear, and hosts even had a little fire going in the fire pit by the creek when I arrived. Very peaceful, and easy to find as a result of the signs placed in great locations. My dog loved the creek and designated “zoomies “ field to plat fetch in. Lisa H.

55This place was an absolute dream. The entire trail was very well marked and let you know exactly where you needed to go. You start off at the little bridge that takes you by a beautiful little pond. We were glad that we wore our rain boots as it was a bit muddy in places. There was balls and toys for Bixby to play with which was awesome. He has bloodhound in him so he usually just loves smelling all the smells but he did play fetch a little today and he also was very interested in the bubbles which was a cute touch. And we LOVED club zoomies. We are working on Bixbys recall and this was the perfect place to do it. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to check this Sniffspot out and we are hoping to be back very soon 🐾 We had a little mishap and we had left our sunglasses in the driveway but Preston was super quick to answer my message and that speedy response and help with our problem was really very kind.

55Amazing! My girl is going through a reaction phase and needs some time out of the city as we work on helping her control her emotions while she is "grounded" at our home in Seattle. She absolutely loved this property. It's a bit of a drive but we will be regulars! Also, they have EVERYTHING you need. Even bubbles :-)

FAQ about our Kalama 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.
