55Love coming here! I love the open space my dogs love going down the trails and finding their way back to the main trail. It’s well maintained. I did slip in someone else’s dogs poop so don’t be that ass hole and pick up after yourself not the owner of the property fault
It’s definitely flea and tick season folks make sure to check your dogs after coming to a beautiful place like this! Found two on one dog.
Ultimately a great place to be with your pets. Worth paying for 1.5 hours McKenzie W.

55Another amazing visit!
My dogs love it! The trails are well marked and the different terrains make for fun exercise!
Side note: we did hear gun shots today which do not bother my dogs at all as they are country dogs and completely used to it. This is our second visit. We did not hear anything last time not even a car but if dog is sensitive to gun shots please be prepared. Rita and Day la S.

55Lots of trails to explore and they were well marked. We did hear gun shots in the distance, not a concern for us and we felt safe, but could be a trigger for others. Diane G.

55Amazing! My girls had a fantastic time running through trails, exploring and rolling in the leaves. It was cathartic for all of us. Such a lovely spot, got me thinking of moving to Yelm. It doesn’t get any better! Trails are well marked and fun to wander, so many. Perfect day!Michelle W.

55This was a great place to let my dogs run around. Pretty dense forest area. The trails and property lines were well marked which was really helpful. The location is a bit deep into the county and on a gravel road but was a nice drive. Anna B.

FAQ About Yelm 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Yelm area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 262 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 388 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
