55Great for a variety of dogs (elderly, medium energy, and high energy). The fence had a few spots that if you had a determined escape artist they could get under the fence especially with the ground soft right now, excluding that case the fencing is secure and in good shape. This is a great spot, the dogs absolutely loved it!Elizabeth G.

55So beautiful. Dogs loved it. Felt comfortable with fencing. Initially was a little confused with signage but realize once you get to the gate - despite signs showing the Vista with an arrow to the top- you’re actually in the right, fenced in spot. Tee B.

55This was our first sniff spot experience and we loved it!!! What a great place to let my dog run off some energy. I appreciated the doggy poo bins too. We will definitely return. Heidi E.

55We are newbies and totally messed up our time, arriving at 1pm rather than 1:30, but made sure to leave on time. Love this spot, very open and great to get my girl her outdoor fix, without worrying about other dogs, especially with the unknown illness going around. Will make this our go to location!Maria J.

55Incredible space, especially for reactive high energy dogs. One of my pups has unending energy but struggles with other dogs and people so it's hard to really get him tired. This space did the trick! It is a bit confusing knowing if you're in the right spot or not, but once you go through the large gate partway up the hill, you're there! There's another sign inside the area that says, "Top Dog Vistas ⬆️" which makes you think you're not there yet, but you're already in the correct space. Kate K.

55Wonderful sniff spot!! So much space for the dogs to run and play. Very clean and the host really goes above and beyond by even providing us our own complimentary lock for their gate so we feel nice and safe:) Kortney A.

Host (Carol) met us and is very gracious.
The area is well maintained with several nooks with benches, water dishes with water, doggie doo-doo bags and metal disposal bins.
The area has trees, trails, and open expanses with wonderful vistas of surrounding landscapes. You and your fur babies have the entire place to yourselves.
The area is on a hill for those semi-crippled like me (one of my hip joints has no cartilage and is bone-on-bone contact) and it was a bit of a chore, but worth it. The dogs enjoyed it quite a bit I think.David M.

55Loved our time here. Be sure to follow the signs for your appropriate Sniffspot because there are 3 or 4 different spots. The Top Vista spot is quite a hike but doable for most, if you take your time. Enjoy! Deidre N.

55Our two dogs had an absolute blast running around free and sniffing. It’s a steep hill to get to the top (wear out those doggos). Our dogs loved running the brush trails at top and in some tall grass. That is where our golden got the zoomies! The view from the top is worth the walk up the hill. We will be back again for sure!

55Great space to allow your dogs to explore without any worries. The hill up to the top is a trek, but the view at the top is beautiful. The hosts provide towels for any muddy paws before you load up. Love taking my dogs here. They love running in the tall grass/brush.Sarah U.

55Amazing open space! Lots of trash cans around to put poopy bags in, so you won’t be walking around carrying them with you. My pups loved it :)Emily C.

55We were able to take our deaf dog today, and didn’t have to worry about him getting loose! He had a blast watching the goats! We had 4 dogs and they all had so much fun! The parking is easy, the little walk to the gate isn’t bad, and we couldn’t see any other dogs from our area! Loved that we had a tremendous amount of space for exploration with secure fencing! Such a beautiful view, and a few resting spots for the humans! Lots of waste cans to put dog waste, area was clean and private! Will definitely be going here again!Jolee N.

55Plenty of space for both of my dogs to run. The hilly terrain gave them lots of exercise. I liked the area at the top that was open for playing fetch. A good mix of trees, trails and brush for the dogs to explore. Also people friendly with benches for owners to rest and watch the dogs play Trisha M.

55A little muddy but not bad especially once you are up on top! There was a moon and we thought it would be a fun thing to do on a moonlit night. The goats were cute too!Karen J.

55Perfect for letting dogs run and explore without having to micromanage them. The dogs had so much fun and freedom I could barely keep up with them. I may have to switch to this option permanently! Super clean too! Alicia T.

FAQ about our Potlatch dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Potlatch area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 9 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
