55Great for my reactive husky mix. Plenty of smells, but quiet and without a lot of distractions. My dog was able to relax and have a good time in the woods. Can’t wait to come back when the weather is better!Teresa B.

55Neighbors now have goats, chicken, and what sounds like a livestock guardian dog on the bordering property. If your dog has a really high prey drive you might want to leash up if you go down that trail. There are signs that warn you but they don't warn until right when you're entering that spot. I leashed my crazy terrier up when we went by. Shes terrible around chickens! Melissa C.

55Always a pleasure to visit this property. The dogs love exploring the many paths, playing in the creek, and fetching balls in the lawn area. We all feel pretty refreshed each time we visit. Highly recommended!Michael S.

55Tranquility indeed! My 8 month old dog absolutely loved going on a ‘sniffari’ along the trails. Lots of exploring in a beautiful setting, we relaxed on the lawn afterwards. Reed A.

55We had such a great time. Nice little trails with enough hills for it to feel like a real hike. Plenty of areas for dogs to explore off leash and not so big you’re worried about losing them. Will be back for sure.Brandy W.

55Our second visit, Maya loved it, it’s perfect for dogs who love to follow their nose through the woods. She is always very tired after her sniffari, and I enjoy being there too, it’s a beautiful property with many mature cedars and lots of ferns Reed A.

55A wonderful morning for a sniffari, with many new smells after yesterday’s rain. The forest was lush and beautiful. This is the kind of sniffspot my dog would design if they could. Reed A.

55Wonderful Sniffspot that your dogs will love! There are multiple trails that meander throughout the property with beautiful tree-cover.
Whenever we thought we’d gone down all the trails, we’d find another one. There’s also a nice open area and there are informative signs throughout. Definitely a treat for your pup.R W.

55This spot is especially nice because there's no one else around. You can explore the entire property and its trails. There are some very thoughtful gestures and activities. I would have loved access to even more trails, but it looks like they are under construction.Tye F.

55Wow. This was literally like having your own private forest for an hour. The host thought of every amenity you can imagine for dogs. We did the loop trail 3 times with our (big) dog and just enjoyed meandering down to the creek bed and more. Lovely spot and our dog is very happy. 😊 Rachelle L.

55Love love love this Sniffspot and the owners are wonderful! This is truly a gorgeous area. As soon as Moose got out of the car, he was running like a mad hatter gleefully around the property. He plunged into the pond, plowed through tall grasses, and sniffed his big little heart out. This Sniffspot has a beautiful creek and a bridge that crosses the pond. Nice wide open spaces for puppies to run around and good walking trails for the humans.
For the reactive dog owner, keep in mind there are dogs, trucks, and other noises around the main road/entrance to the property. It was a great training opportunity but Moose was pretty distracted by it all. Keep your pup past the pond and reactive dogs should be just fine. They can hear other dogs and some noise but it's less distracting.Ryan C.

55We had such a great time today! So many different ways you can spend your visit- off leash playing fetch, swimming, or just walking around the property! It was beautiful, I felt like I was on a mini vacation from the city. Can’t wait to come back! As a side note- they had a little bucket by the front of the property with dog treats and tennis balls. So sweet!Kerry H.

55This place is amazing! Lots of open areas to run and play fetch. My dog loved wading in the creek as well. As an added bonus, the beautiful neighbor horses came over to say hi! The dogs could have cared less about the horses as they were busy romping around the back field. Can’t wait to come back!Erika B.

55Great place! It almost felt like we were in a magical forest. Great instructions for entering the property . It was so peaceful, we never saw any humans only the faint bark of a dog but our pups couldn’t care less, they were to busy having fun. Can’t wait to go to this one in the summer, there is a great creek!Denise R.

FAQ about our Mill Creek 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.
