55Our first Sniffspot experience and it couldn’t have been better! Our dog is reactive so a public dog park is not suitable for her. Being able to have Barb’s property entirely to ourselves was the most amazing feeling! Our pup had SOOOOOO much fun and was right in her element. It was remarkable to see how our dog thrived having an off-leash experience in a safe and secure environment. She was able to explore and just be a dog, while myself, my husband and our children were able to have a relaxing stress-free time with her knowing there wasn’t any chance of conflicts with other dogs. We live in Canada just across the border so Barb’s property is very conveniently located and just a short drive from the Aldergrove/Lynden crossing for any other Canadians looking to experience the ideal Sniffspot. Barb greeted us upon arrival and was so lovely and welcoming. We appreciated the amenities her property offered including the hose to clean our pup off before hopping back in the car. We will most definitely be back!Laura G.

55Another visit with another shelter dog needing de-compression as he waits for his forever guardian. He was over the moon - ran & ran & ran, hit about 10 of the 20 fenced acres, huge circles in the field. Although good recall, he seldom checks-in so he was out of sight about 80% of the time. I was confident of the fencing so it gave both dog and human exactly what was needed. Built trust, practiced recall, got my unconditional love for this day.Karl K.

55This is a great run in the woods or field for our pup! Totally fenced and little bridges or mulch over wet areas. Host is great, met us first time to welcome and explain the spot. Well worth the trip and will come again. Thanks so much. Anita B.

55Fun Run with Geode, a lad who earned a good off-leash adventure to cheer him up as he waits for his next best human friend at the Humane Shelter. This SS is a wonderful, safe place to run him with confidence and share his happiness. Made his day, which makes my day. Karl K.

55We had an amazing time with our behaviourally challenged pup! It’s an absolutely beautiful spot, the trails and forest offered so much exploring and freedom. Barb was so kind to meet us at the gate as it was our first time there to ensure we could navigate the property. From fresh water to toys, poop bags, there was everything we needed and more. We can’t wait to come back again!Vanessa L.

55I don’t think a more perfect SniffSpot exists! Even on a cool, wet winter day the trails were so well maintained that you don’t leave extremely muddy. So lucky to have this place close by!Ally H.

55A dog's paradise! Running free on the huge fully fenced field, exploring the absolutely magical forest... the pups jumping over little logs, sniffing and snuffling here and there and us, their owners knowing the whole experience is absolutely safe! Pathways through the woods are marked, sitting places along the way, water stations for the pups. The dogs are relaxed exploring as they will, I feel care free (and that goes far in today's turbulent and scary times.) My two pups thoroughly enjoyed exploring with another dog, one of their friends and we, the owners felt like we had been transformed to the most magical and peaceful place on Earth. We will all be back!!Kerry D.

FAQ about our Maple Ridge 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.
How much do Sniffspot hiking trails cost?
Dog hiking trails in the Maple Ridge area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Bitter Lake. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Bitter Lake. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
