55Another great experience at John’s and Stephanie’s farm. Definitely The Spot for you and your dog if you’re looking for a bit of an adventure out in their beautiful land with streams and creeks and socializing your dogs to their farm animals. Truly couldn’t find a better place to be on our social distancing Thanksgiving day. The pups came back dirty, happy and exhausted. John and Stephanie were also very accommodating; offered us a towel to dry our pups before we leave home and told us where the bathroom is should we need to use it. I am looking forward to another outing at this place next week and bringing my friend and her GSD along. Kate T.

55Second time and wow, it didn't disappoint. Best hosts! They are so kind and they let me feed the goats and chickens, so fun. Hoot loves running all the trails and through the creeks and sleeps for hours after.Melissa F.

55Really spectacular Sniffspot. We have been here many times and it's always awesome. John & Stephanie are such wonderful people and always make us feel right at home. The trails are so much fun to explore and the creek is a huge bonus for pups that love water or just need a quick drink. A beautiful setting, very peaceful and we feel totally safe here so can thoroughly enjoy our time without a care in the world. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! ♥Susan D.

55Dogs and humans all enjoyed our visit to Fiveash Farm including a meet and greet with a goat and splashing in the creek. Hosts are friendly and helpful and provided us with a tour around the property. Very picturesque with room to run and explore and some great spots for taking pictures.
For the best experience wear boots, some spots are a little muddy and the bridges can be slippery. We will definitely return for another visit!Sue C.

55Our dogs had the time of their lives, running through the creek and woods, wrestling and doing “zoomies” in the open fields, and resting at the seating areas conveniently found around the several acres (ok, maybe the resting was more for the people!). It was a very warm day, but it was so comfortable wandering through the wooded areas and playing in the water. John and Stephanie were so nice and welcoming. Since it was our first time there, John showed us all around the areas where the dogs could roam and assured us that we wouldn’t get lost (and he was right!). Be sure to wear sturdy shoes to climb up wooded, hilly pathways and maybe bring a walking stick if you aren’t so sure-footed. We will be coming back to this Sniffspot!Linda D.

55A beautiful open spot along with lovely grown trails. The running creek was both our Aussie’s and our favorite. The farm animals were an added perk for our viewing pleasure. Hosts were very kind, informative and friendly.Kim O.

55Despite our two dogs being very energetic and predatory towards the goats and chickens, John and Stephanie were understanding and welcoming. John toured us through his property so we knew the lay of the land and of we went. Our two dogs loved, loved, loved their time as did my husband and I. So worth the (very pretty) drive and the money. Thank you again, John and Stephanie, for opening your property to us and others! We will be back!Kassi S.

55Love the hosts, the animals, trails, and especially the creek! It is such a great spot for our pup to swim safely. She loves to explore all the trails and then we always finish with a good, stick fetching session in the creek. Wish we could go every day! Merina H.

55This is truly an enchanting place! Easy directions and signage from the road. John welcomed us warmly and guided us through his magical farm. We had to keep Dottie leashed during the walkthrough as there were so many wonderful animals on the way, including two incredible Scottish highland cows!! Once through to the pasture it felt like we had an entire state park to ourselves. No other animals in sight. Lots of trails, bridges, and a gorgeous creek!
Extra hospitality points as John gave us a tour of his workshop and shared with us stories from his world travels. Can’t wait for him to finish the cabin, as would love to return and spend a night there. Tony T.

FAQ about our McMinnville 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 can I find dog hiking trails in McMinnville?
There are 12 dog hiking trails in the McMinnville area. The most popular dog hiking trail is Nehemiah lane dog farm. You can browse all of our dog hiking trails here.
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 McMinnville area range from $10.0 and $20.0. The least expensive dog hiking trail is Nehemiah lane dog farm. 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.
