Arf Road Dog Hikes
Sidewalks are fine. But dirt is divine.
Off-leash dog hiking in Portland, Oregon.
Story
Dogs weren’t made for pavement—and let’s be honest, neither were you. At Arf Road Dog Hiking, we help Portland pups reconnect with their wild side, one trail at a time.
We’re a locally run, off-leash dog hiking service based in Southeast Portland, offering full-hour guided adventures through real trails—forest romps, creek dips, mud puddles, stick obsessions, and all. Whether your dog needs a solo escape or wants to join the pack, we’ve got a trail for them.
Our mission? To turn ordinary weekdays into off-leash trail magic. We believe in freedom, fresh air, and the kind of joy that only happens when a dog finally ditches the sidewalk for the woods.
We pick them up. We hike them hard. We bring them back better.
Because sidewalks are fine. But dirt is divine.
At Arf Road Dog Hiking, we trade sidewalks for trailheads and city noise for pine needles and paw prints. We offer guided, off-leash adventures through Portland’s wildest pockets, giving your dog the kind of joy, freedom, and full-body exercise they dream about.
We pick them up. We hike them hard. We bring them back muddy, tired, and thrilled with life.
Because sidewalks are fine—but dirt is divine.
