55I'm reticent to review this one because I don't want the calender to fill up, lol - but it's EVEN BETTER than described. Totally secure and beautiful with tons of thoughtful touches and considerations from a welcoming host. Amanda G.

55Barb was amazing! It was my first sniffspot experience and I even had a hiccup where I needed help getting one of my doggies out of the car and she made a stressful situation feel calm and comfy and it made my whole day better from this visit! She was so knowledgeable of different dog breeds and the retreat was amazing! She even had a hose to spray down any fur babies who love playing in the mud! I would one thousand percent recommend- I can’t wait to go back!!!Amber H.

55Our favorite spot! The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming and the pups love spending their time in the woods or running the fields. Bonus: the beautiful fruit orchard to walk through. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Hieu D.

55It's been quite a while since I've visited and I'm so impressed with the updates and continued maintenance. One of my dogs has now fully lost his vision in addition to being deaf and it's such a treat to feel so safe to wander with no other dogs or people to worry about. My other dog is able to romp off leash, with my my blind guy on a long line, and they can sniff and explore to their hearts content. The footing is so good and I appreciate all the poo containers and seating available. It was a drizzly morning but we had a wonderful time. Thank you!MARY A.

55My dogs had a great time! The space was large, with plenty of scope for imagination for my dogs. My biggest concern when I made my reservation was whether such a big place would have a fence that wouldn't allow my dogs to find gaps to wriggle under. But the fence was very good. I will certainly come again!Amy A.

55Totally worth the drive. No trouble finding it using Google maps. Beautiful maintained trails in their forest. We easily spent an hour in there crisscrossing about. Our dogs loved bounding through the fields also!erin m.

55I can't express how wonderful both this spot is as well as the owners. It is hands down our favorite sniffspot. It is appointed so thoughtfully (toys, water station, picnic spot, even bug spray), and the trails are marked and maintained throughout the entire property. If I lived in the area, they would probably have to restrict my use so they wouldn't have to see me every day!
Outside of their amazing space, today we had the very unfortunate problem of dropping our car key in the field chasing down our pup. Not only were they so gracious and understanding in us being there 20 minutes past our booking, but they also dug out a metal detector and helped us walk the field looking for the key! I am so grateful that they offer the opportunity to use their lovely space, but today I was also very grateful that they are such lovely people. Thank you!

55This was our second visit to Barb's property, and we had a fantastic time! When we were here in February it was very wet, but this time it was breezy and dry. Our dogs LOVED exploring the forest, and racing around on the field. This spot is a gem, we will be back! Elizabeth W.

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.
