55Wonderful trails! Highly recommend! Definitely good idea to wear hiking attire.
55We picked a perfect day to visit! The trail was easy to follow with the hosts instructions - thank you for that! The trail is also marked with pink ribbon attached to the tree trunks. Admittedly, we noticed them more on the way back than the way up. Some areas were over grown but manageable to get through. Lots of thorn bushes, did my best to tuck some away but I got suck a time or two. The hike has a few steep inclines out & back. Our watch recorded 3.7 miles / 915 total elevation gain / 2.5 hours for us to complete it! Recommend bringing water, snacks, towel’s & wearing hiking boots, long pants & long sleeves. Book some extra time for breaks along the way. Great area to explore! Thanks for sharing your land!
55Nice quiet hike, dogs had a blast running up and down the trails and playing in the creek.
55such a wonderful spot this time of year. the views were phenomenal and my pups are TIRED. 😴
55We had a great time! We went part way up the “hike portion” and will be excited to come back again another day. Thanks Brad for such a well maintained adventure!
55Great spot for an afternoon forest-y jaunt with the pups. Easy to find the trail to the top with host's instructions. Thank you! My boys loved it, we will be back!
55This spot was awesome. Tons of room to roam, and my dog loved being able to get in the creek after our hike.
55So much fun!!
55Always a great time for my pups!!
55Perfect weather for hiking today!! It's blueberry season so I recommend that wearing long sleeves and long pants then you won't get cuts!! My dogs were so happy for hiking here all the time.

Location

Mount Vernon, Washington

Description

22 forested acres with private trails and an open field area located in the power line clearing. Includes private land access to state forest trails with views. Once you park you will see the trail entrance into the forest in front of you. Take the trail down to the creek. Water levels in the creek vary depending on the time of year. Cross the creek using the foot bridge and head through the forest. In about .3 miles you will come out into the powering line clearing. Feel free to explore everything in front of you and to the left (north). There are several wide open grass spaces in the power line to play fetch or just let the dogs run and be dogs. I will send you detailed instructions for the hike up the mountain upon request. This is a real hike and I recommend hiking attire. Please bring water for yourself and your dogs. The hike is about 3.5 miles and 800 feet of elevation gain. I recommend booking at least 2 hours to complete. If you want to hang out and enjoy the views you may want to book more than 2 hours.

Cleanliness

Hidden Lake is private and secluded. Enjoy a swim in the lake, or the fully fenced pasture with walking trails. We are in the country and you may hear some country sounds during your visit. Please keep in mind that Phone reception may be spotty. We are happy to share our property, but please understand there’s many different wildlife that passes through here. If you are sensitive to Wildlife poop, please reconsider. Also, it is the PNW, so like most places with lots of grass, it gets very wet and sometimes soggy. Boot up.

Use code 5offmyspot for $5 off your first visit! Does your dog dream of running in the pasture? Now they can have their own, equipped with essentials and a big cow brush, spend your day at this Snohomish farm. Semi-private area, you may see me out watering the garden in the distance, but otherwise you have private parking on sight, water for your dogs and a place to toss your poop! For a small extra fee you can utilize an additional acre of area attached to the pasture, note the extra space is not as secure of fencing as the first.

Hike up the mini forest

Fully Fenced
9.5 acres

Our property is shy of 12 acres, 9+ acres of which we're sharing as a private off leash dog space or Sniffspot. The entrance is over the bridge where the creek is and 'From Creek to Back of Property' is all yours to explore. You may chain the gate & unleash your doggies right after the bridge. Dogs might run down the creek for a splash or drink. Continue on to our family campground, there are picnic tables you could use. Then, up the hill you go to 'hike up the mini forest', free to roam around, listen to the birds, squirrels and other critters and sounds that nature brings you. You'll find seating areas while your dogs are at play, feel free to use them. Enjoy a picnic with your loved ones if you're up for it on one of the cabin porches or covered / uncovered picnic tables. The back of property behind fence is DNR land, so rest assured you’re on your own private little world with your furry buddies. The mini forest has some large walking paths and smaller trails scattered about, also some open meadows and is at a peaceful wooded setting. This is where I go to unwind and relieve my head of stress and worries. It’s my place of meditation, while my dogs sniff and romp around like crazy, do their zoomies and play hide n seek! Forget about the gym, you'll get your exercise here with your dogs. As mentioned, there are cabins on the property. Sniffspot is unavailable if the Cabins are booked or vice versa. Booking is through Hipcamp (hipcamp.com). Name of listing: 'Grace E.'s Mini Forest Cabins'. Check it out and Search listing through the hipcamp site. Saturdays are usually blocked IF there's Hipcamp bookings. I would Unblock the hours for Sniffspot use if that day isn't booked for Hipcamp, so please try to check back, who knows that day might be available! Anyway, hope you enjoy your little 'hike up the mini forest’…

Step into our fully fenced in dog park nestled in a beautiful forest full of cedars, maples, and many many ferns. The dogs will be so mentally engaged jumping over logs, dodging through ferns and playing with sticks galore. There is a path worn in around the perimeter of the zone, but feel free to romp where ever you please if you dare! There are poop bags and a bucket for these at the front gate. Please note- the road through the property to reach sniff spot is gravel!
