Location

Medical Lake, Washington

Description

Adventure abounds… even getting here! Use this address to arrive to S. 8th Street (you want to drive down this gravel road): 12398 S 8th St, Medical Lake, WA 99022 This is a gravel road with NO TRESPASSING signs. Ignore those (dog visitors welcome). You can confirm your location accuracy using this Google Maps coordinate: (47.5402231, -117.6853444) Drive ALL THE WAY DOWN S 8th Street. Nearly at the end of it, you'll will drive up a hill. Once over the hill, drive ahead until you reach a white RV ahead of you. Park to the right or left before the RV. You’ll see a fenced area (to your right), hobbit (made of sticks) fences and flowers (to your left of where you park). SniffSpot prevents active links grab a screenshot and send the shot to ChatGPT or any AI app, it will make the link active: https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1Qt7TZuAU0Ch4aBdz2ye2zUUNCOvWnRk&ehbc=2E312F The link is a map of the 20 acres with trails, bird watching sites, wildlife sightings, and ponds. Trust the journey. Let your pup run wild (off-leash) through tall, waving grass, explore trails, or dive into the ponds (Gaia gives it five wet tail wags). This is a natural playground, not a manicured park, where paws get muddy and noses stay busy. My dog Gaia might greet you, she’s friendly, gentle, and loves having company. If your pup prefers solo adventures, just let me know. Your presence and financial support go 100% to dogs in need. Nurses: Please pick flowers. They are for you.

Mitch C.

Joined in June 2025

My background is in healthcare, genetics, and mental health. As a geneticist in South America, then as a travel critical care nurse, and now working in psychiatry as a nurse practitioner: our surroundings shape the way we feel, cope, connect, and come back to ourselves. Our most optimized selves emerge when the body, mind, relationships, lived experience, and environment are safe. That belief is part of what led me to Sniffspot. I am building a private agricultural, healing-restorative outdoor practice where dogs can run, sniff, swim, explore, and release energy, while their humans take a breath and enjoy the serenity. The inspiration for sharing is my dog, Gaia. She thrives wrestling and socializing with other dogs, yet, despite her high physical energy, she is remarkably gentle, carrying her lamb toy, her “baby,” for comfort or running with the zoomies. The 20-acres offers open natural terrain, hiking, two swim-friendly ponds, and picturesque scenery. An acre offers a fully fenced section. Here, dogs have a therapeutic outlet for movement, sensory enrichment, play, exploration, and decompression, while their humans pause, breathe, co-regulate, and experience peace, protection, and belonging. I invite all who are seeking safety, carrying burdens, holding a broken heart, feeling overwhelmed, or simply ready for an adventure to come as you are.

Fully Fenced
1 acre

*30 min bookings are available! Are you looking for a nice place to let your furry friend run around and you get some steps in too, well then you are in the right spot. We have an acre fenced that we want dogs to come and enjoy a good run or a fun place to play ball. There is a shelter to stand under if needed with two chairs that can be moved as needed. Most of the area is flat and there are some trees is the back of the property with longer grass. You do have to walk up a little hill to get to the flat part but it is not bad. There is a parking area right outside the man-gate where you enter with a parking sign. We have put a chuck it with balls and a frisbee under the bench lid for you to use as well as weave poles and an adjustable jump for the pups to try out. Everything you need as far as water, water bowl and toys are all under the bench lid by the big tree. *Updated hours: more availability at night but know the mosquitos are bad when the sun goes down so please wear bug spray or use the bug spray provided. *With spring and summer coming more people are out so there may be noise while at the spot, we do have neighbors with kids and dogs. Google Maps will get you lost so once booked I will send directions directly via chat.

The Doggy Dome

Fully Fenced
15 acres

We live on 15 acres, and now have 1.5 acres fully fenced! It is all very flat land making for an easy stroll with your dogs. We are boarded on two edges by farm fields and two edges by neighbors. There is a trail that circles the property, with plenty of space to explore. During the summer, please take advantage of the small kiddie pool. There are also toys and chairs in the fenced area for all guests. Some seasonal things to keep in mind: Spring/fall when we have heavy rain, some areas could have standing water and/or be muddy. Mid to late summer, there are fox tails (cheat grass) that can cling to your dogs. Winter, the trails might not be plowed. There will be a 5gal bucket in the wood shed (inside the fenced area) full of water you can use to refill the two water bowls. Keep an eye out for trip hazards! Logs, sticks, uneven ground and holes.

Dawn to Dusk Top Dog Vistas

Fully Fenced
4 acres

Top Dog Vistas has 4 acres of fully fenced trails for you and your dog to enjoy. (All dogs must be on leash for the first 300 feet from the parking lot to the gate.) This hike is not for everyone as it climbs 200 feet in about 1/4 mile. Once you get up the hill there are awesome views and rest stations scattered along the trails that are cut through the trees and brush. The total distance if you wander all of the trails at the top of the hill is about one mile. If you are unable to reserve your preferred date or time, (or if this hike would be too difficult for you) please check out our other spots: Dawn to Dusk Doggy Domain, Dawn to Dusk Doggy Challenge, and Dawn to Dusk Splash and Dash.

Ray's Private Dog Park In Edwall

Partially Fenced
50 acres

The 50 acres is mostly timber, with a 7 acre pond that has water in it most of the year. It will dry up on really hot years. I do have chickens and pack goats by the house. But they are inside mesh fencing, so your dogs won’t be able to get to them. The 50 acres is completely fenced with a 3 to 5 strand Barbwire fence. It’s in good shape. It is also the property boundary. So as long as you stay inside of the fence, you will be on the property. There are not a lot of neighbors but the ones I have are nice. When you come up the driveway, you can pass the house and drive up on the hill and Park at the conex container. There is lots of wildlife on the property, and I highly recommend that your dog has some sort of tick repellent, we do have ticks in the spring time. The upper part of the driveway is not graveled, so if there’s melting snow, or a lot of ran, it can get muddy. So be prepared for that. I hope you enjoy the property as much as we do. ***ALL PRICES LISTED ARE IN USD***
