55We had a great time!
55Great spot for some private off leash hiking!
55Been here once before and my dog just loves coming here. She just loves running and checking out everything. Great location and lots of exploring to do!!
55My dog's favorite thing is forest trails where he can race around loose so this was very much his jam. We'll definitely be back
55Great hiking trail, easy to get to, and very beautiful moss experience!
55Thank you, my dog really enjoyed your place!
55My basset hound absolutely loved this spot! I will definitely come again.
45The dogs loved exploring this property. The trails are perfect. Excited to go back when there is water in the creek. Just wish the places for humans to sit were a little better maintained and cleaned off.
55Such a beautiful place!
55sniff spot is well maintained and trails were pleasant to walk on with our dogs!

Description

Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot is a large mystical woodland adventure for dogs in Redmond on the way to Carnation. Boots are recommended in the winter rain. MMF is preferred by puppies, dogs, people, adults and kids alike because it has potable water, power, picnic tables, chairs, several firepits, lit portapotties, 3 swing sets, 3 slides, monkey bars, 3 Forts, a log bridge to cross over Little Ames Creek for when the creek is flowing, a doggy playground, lots of picturesque moss, lighted parking lot, woodchip trails and many footpaths over 5 forested moss covered acres. Parking is near the road, separated by 50 ft of woods, so we suggest that all our doggy friends be leashed until they are on the trails with you. Please leash your dog until into the forest away from the parking area, after that Bob's Your Uncle! Watch kids and dogs in the parking area near the road, and at Ames Creek. A secluded place to dork out and have fun, enjoying a natural Pacific rainforest. Note that the creek is dry in midsummer until the fall and winter rains kick in. Boots are recommended in the fall and winter. Find a map of the main trails in a photo on our MMF Sniffspot site. There are lots of foot trails through the understory ferns. The log bridge can be used to cross Ames Creek, or you can ford it to discover the rest of Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot. Please pack out doggy bags with you because there is no garbage pickup here, please leave no trace. If there is a downpour and you want to wait it out there is a dry shed in the parking area. Access to power helps keep your batteries charged. Please carry your toilet paper (sorry it walks away). The portapotties are cleaned once a week. Please visit our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555379018442 Let us know if you have any questions. Synchronized play bowing to you!

Cleanliness

97% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Separated by bushes and trees, the road is 50 ft from the parking lot, so we recommend leashing your dog until you are on the trails, or doggo becomes used to the location, and heads for the secluded forest trails right away. There is a log bridge to cross the creek when it may get as much as 6 inches deep in the winter. A great off-leash park full of fun exploring please wear boots!

Joined in October 2023

I was born in Washington State. We have dogs, and we thought we'd offer our property to explore a new place with all kinds of wonderful things that dogs love. We installed a playset that has a ramp and stairs that dogs hop right up to hang out in and get pets and maybe a little treat! We also have a small creek running through the forest, that is usually shallow and slow moving - the perfect size for dogs. Right after a big rain it can get up to a foot deep. We have found dogs just love the log bridge and will run back and forth on it. There's lots of chairs, fire pits, picnic tables. If you get caught out in the rain we supplied a shelter that is dry so you can wait it out. We update our Sniffspot as much as possible. For example, we just laid down fresh wood chips this week. Enjoy!

3 Acre Fully Fenced Drive-In Secluded Park In North Redmond

Fully Fenced
3 acres

Welcome! Our place is fully fenced with mesh wire, which will keep all dogs secured. You can drive in, close the gate and let the dogs off leash from your car. The whole 3-acre is for you to enjoy, including the fenced-in meadow/arena, front and back around the house. Most of the land is flat and accessible. There are a couple of stairs and a small slope lead to my house and the back yard. I understand the significance of providing them with a safe space to unwind. We won’t come out when you are here without prior communication. There are no visible neighbors or other domestic animals nearby. It’s the perfect place for the dogs to relax and decompress. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Janimal's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Maple Valley

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Enjoy 1.3 acres of fenced pasture and natural area with lots of areas to explore. Your pup will climb over a big felled tree, run around the seasonal pond, sniff all the smells from coyotes and bears that came by during the night, and may enjoy some fetch in the pasture area. No pesticides or herbicides have been used in this area. The fence is 3 feet tall in the lowest area, but the area abuts a large grassy area.  The only domesticated animal your pup might hear is my dog, who will be secured inside the house during your visit. This natural area is visited by wildlife. You may see bear, coyote, deer, and elk scat. Once you are in the fenced sniff spot, your pup should not be able to hear my dog anymore. Paved roads and paved parking make it easy to get to this sniff spot, but you will have to walk across the grass to the sniff spot; you will want to wear appropriate shoes.
