55Beautiful spot. Lots of room to explore. Not much shade in the hay area, but the river side was beautiful too. Very nice owners! Clean and easy to get to with their directions. Juliette M.

55Great host and beautiful property! We visited on a beautiful summer night and enjoyed a nice breeze and breathtaking views of Mt Hood and Columbia Slough. Dogs enjoyed cooling off in the water. Bring a towel to dry them off and shoes that can get muddy as the beach is soft mud and the dogs loved it but they were a mess! Nothing another romp in the pasture to dry the mud couldn’t fix. We will be back! So amazing!!Mary M.

55Such a pretty spot on the river with views of both Mt Hood and Mt St Helens! The dogs loved exploring on the muddy banks and wading in the river. Then we took a break at the shaded picnic table before walking a big loop around the hay fields. We'll definitely visit again.Susan A.

55Wonderful, huge property with a field on one side and river access on the other. Our two dogs had a blast jumping into the water over and over again! It was a bit muddy at the waterfront, but I think that only made it all the more enjoyable for the pups 🙂 There is a nice spot for the humans to sit/lounge in the shade, and there’s even a fire pit for colder temps!Tiana R.

55Beautiful property and plenty of room to run. We spent most of our time on the water frontage which was prefect for our water dogs. They got to swim on a private strip of beach and enjoy the water without me worrying about another dog sneaking up on us.
The field is large and private as well. Cyclists or cars can be seen from the field in some areas but wasn’t a problem while we were there. Just kept the dogs looking the other way. Jacob H.

55Such an awesome place! We will definitely be returning. My pup LOVED spending time by the water. We also went to the field and threw a frisbee for a bit and walked along the mowed path (fyi be cautious of some of the thistles in that area)!Megan L.

FAQ about our Cathlamet 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 Cathlamet area range from $5.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Pleasant Places. The most expensive dog hiking trail is Mitchell Family Tree Farm. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
