55Clear directions, lots of options to make the designated area bigger or smaller by closing or opening gates. It was quite wet the day we visited, but we were prepared with boots and towels. Really lovely space, and we will be back!
55Our last visit until Fall when the cows turn the fields back to the dogs! Rocky "discovered" the joys of the pond when he surprised a frog and then tried to hunt it into the water. The weather was a mostly sunny 55.
55Open pastures with lots of room to run
55Such a peaceful place my pup loved getting muddy and her sniffs on.
55Otter Pond was the first Sniffspot I tried. My 2 German Shepherds had a blast! I appreciated the comments about the mud, to wear boots, and to bring towels. I will definitely go back to this spot when their season reopens in the fall.
55Great open space! Little muddy this time of year so id being something to clean your pup with
55This is the perfect place for dogs to get to run and play in the mud! We love coming here, just make sure to wear boots and something you don’t mind getting dirty!
55Amazing. Truly amazing. We had one issue that was 100% on me. I had hit "get directions" on Sniffspot, and when it transferred to my car, it brought me to a different Otter Pond Road. So be aware of that and double-check! Absolutely gorgeous! The dogs ran more than I've ever seen them run. They loved the water, mud, and chasing the birds! There is a lot of mud, but I survived with just Crocs and then washed off my feet after. Your dogs will be muddy and wet, though, so keep that in mind! I will be visiting again!
55Great playtime on a super windy day- no trees in the main field areas make this a safe option when it’s too blustery to hike.
35Super muddy- like your boots sink in 5 to 6 inches and one of my dogs got stuck several times. It needs some planks over the really bad transitions between fields.

“Usually there would be no livestock. However, right now, in early November, 2024, the grass is still growing (no frost yet!). I have cattle and sheep still grazing on a pasture northwest of the SniffSpot. I will change this description when I take them home for the winter.”

Location

Mount Vernon, Washington

Description

Available Oct 31-March31, these are seasonally available pastures, grazed during the warmer months. 15+ fully fenced grassy acres, including a pond. Acreage is divided into 3 areas, with gates open or closed to limit or expand running space. Higher areas are drier, puddles in the lower spots. Pastures are vacant through the winter months. Parking is along a private gravel dead-end road. There is a SniffSpot sign on the double green gate. There are occasional dog-walkers along the road, but otherwise the spot is private.

Cleanliness

93% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

I have added drainage to the pastures, so there are now some narrow drainage trenches. There are bones, sticks and chunks of wood scattered about that my dogs have left. Your dogs are welcome to take them home, if they decide to possess one, or just settle down to chew.

I have had working dogs for 20 years, both herding dogs and livestock guardians. I currently have 1 elderly Border collie, 1 Border terrier for rats, and 7 purebred Kangal Dogs 🐕 to protect the livestock from predators. I breed Kangal Dogs and have a lo-o-ong waiting list. I hope to shorten that list in 2025 with two litters of pups, but we’ll see.

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.

Lake Cavanaugh K9 Ranch

Unfenced
22 acres

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.
