55My anxious dog had a big breakthrough here - she was nervous about the creek but once I waded in it she had big time creek zoomies! We had a great time exploring and she was tuckered out when we left. :)Jane M.

55My pups love this spot, the trails and plant sniffing really keep them occupied. The seating located around the property is great. It's a bit of a trek for us from seattle but it's always worth it.Kevin Q.

55It was a lovely fun place my dogs definitely loved exploring. I even took them to the creek. Warm day definitely didn't seem as hot. If you are trying to get exercise too definitely the place but also if you want to just relax places for that too.Tammy T.

55This Sniffspot is really big and open including all immensities. My pups spilt the water they had put out and they turned on their hose so I could refill it right away but stayed out of sight of my somewhat aggressive pit bull guyalisha s.

55If you are ever going to come to a SniffSpot you have got to choose WonderLane! As you walk into this gorgeous lush canyon, with trails everywhere and these cozy little nooks to stop and sit and just enjoy the beauty around you. Pushing farther and deeper into the canyon and you are rewarded with a creek to splash around in. And just when you thought you have seen it all there is a fifty foot long stick library. Safe, clean, and even lighting along the trails for the later hours. And if all this was not enough, the mini fridge out front is stocked with cold water, Mt. Dew, and a wonderful variety of human snacks! Five stars and incredible fun.Cory P.

55This Sniffspot is basically my girls’ version of Disneyland. The second we hit the driveway, it’s pure chaos in the backseat: tails wagging, paws tapping, and full-volume excitement yodels.
Hazel immediately transforms into a four-legged NASCAR driver—zero to zoomies in 2.5 seconds. Meanwhile, Houdini takes the scenic route like she’s on a retirement stroll, sniffing every single blade of grass like it holds the meaning of life.
The stream? Elite. Hydration station and splash zone all in one.
It’s honestly the most peaceful, tail-waggin’, soul-soothing place, and we’re so grateful you’ve created this little slice of off-leash heaven. We’ll keep coming back. 🐾Chelsea D.

55Fell victim to the stinging nettles and still had a blast! My dog (who is usually a slow and steady guy) got immediate zoomies here and they never went away. The trails were well kept and easy to match with the map. Lots of spots to stop and chill for a little while your doggie does some sniffing. Definitely worth a visit!Helen H.
