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.

55Stunning views from the top and a spot open enough for my border collie to play some fetch but she also loved all the walking trails she could run through smelling all the smells. Opal and I loved this place and will definitely be back! Josie N.

55It was our first time at the Vista. My dogs loved running and sniffing everything! Got to meet the owners by chance. They were very helpful since it was our first time on that lot.Diane B.

55Lots of space, all up hill but a good way to run off some energy. Multiple benches and water areas with waste bags and cans. Nice views from the top and a few trails to explore. Morgan N.

55This spot is so much fun! Great shade on hot days. The dogs went down so many trails and I still don’t think they went down every one of them. Really peaceful spot too. Renee G.

55My dogs had a lot of fun romping around and exploring all the different trails. I brought water for them but it was a nice surprise to see multiple different water stations. The ticks are out in full force right now though so check your dogs over! I pulled multiple off my dog while there. We will still be back and will check out the other areas available too. Brytany V.

55Amazing area with lots of run space for the high energy pups. Cleared out hiking trails to keep up with the adventurous ones. Lovely view with plenty of spots in the shade to relax. Provided multiple water bowls and jugs of water at different rest areas. Tall brush areas requiring extra caution regarding ticks, signs posted warning about ticks was very helpful to remind us to look over our girls once they were done playing. Overall wonderful experienceTiffani L.

55Perfect Spot for our 2 Malamutes, just enough up to make it a workout for them. There are lots of benches and water stops along the way. Beautiful area, well maintained, we will definitely be back!Jill S.

55Beautiful spot to let your dog run off leash. Fence is very solid and well built. Our little terrier didn't find any spots to squeeze through, although he did try! There was fresh water out, lots of poo bags and trash containers. We enjoyed our time here.
Thank you!Alison W.

55The dogs loved this spot! The fence was perfect and I had zero worries about the dogs getting out. The trek up was kinda steep but was perfect to wear out the doggos. The trails were nice and I was happy with all the water they had to offer. Lots of ticks but that’s with anywhere this year so just make sure to check your pups when you leave. Haley H.

55I love that I can hike around with my dog off leash and she has so much space to explore! There are trails around the property with benches throughout to take breaks for you and water for the dogs. The owners and lovely whenever I happen to run into them, always friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place for high energy dogs to get great stimulation and a great workout for owners walking around!Leiah R.

55This was our first time using sniff spot. It was an amazing experience! Our great dane and 2 weimaraner loved running up and down the hill. We have started shying away from dog parks, because you can't always trust the other dogs there. You are given a lock to ensure that you are the only people there, too. Overall terrific and will definitely be back.Kelly J.

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.
