55The most lovely place to spend a morning! Truly a little oasis in east Austin - my dogs and I enjoyed running around the property and lake edge. What a truly gorgeous view. It was well stocked with water and poop bags and plenty of seating. I loved the unique decorations. The area is pretty secluded by fencing as well as natural barriers and we really enjoyed the solitude. 12/10 and will be back. Sarah B.

55Perfect spot for an after-work romp with my pups! Property was as described and I appreciated the extra touches - the property map, poop bags, water for the dogs and humans, so much seating, and access to the river. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much for hosting.Amy R.

55Nice private spot with plenty of space for the pups to run around. It has a small area by the river to cool off if your dog likes to swim. Lots of seating with shade for the humans. I would wear some pants as some of the grassy areas can get a little high, but you can avoid the areas if you need. The water access was a little tough for my small older dog (not a complaint, just a heads up for other small/old dogs!) Really loved the spot and all the decorations! Would definitely return!

55Wow! I can't believe this was only 20 minutes from us. We didn't see or hear any people or dogs at all, it isn't fully fenced but the visibility of most of the neighbors is really obscured. We did see people kayaking on the river, but I think that's to be expected with any property on a large lake or river. We'll definitely be coming back. The host was also nice enough to let us bring out cat (leashed) so that was really cool, and he enjoyed it as well.Rachel H.

55Very nice spot! My dog was nervous with all the decorations at first but quickly settled in and had the best time!! We didn't swim, because it was a bit too hard for her to get in, but a great yard and space and we will be back!Amanda R.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot! It was a hot one at even 7pm but there was plenty of shade in the yard and the dogs had so much fun exploring and running around. We loved all the different areas the yard had and there was a lot to offer. Kelsey T.

55Really gorgeous land with lots of fun treasures to look at. It was really the absolute best time! The doggies had a blast!! Lots of shade and room to run. We felt completely comfortable with the boys off leash. We gave the boys a little bday party while out there 🥳. The lemonade was a tasty touch! 🙏 They had the kayaks ready for us to go out on the river and even left towels out. We appreciate the opportunity to be able to relax in such a special spot. Thank you so very, very, very much! ❤️🥂🙌Katie A.

55Lyle and I finally made it to this magical spot yesterday. While I have not met the owners personally, let me just say that the communication throughout booking has been top notch. The generosity in them sharing their waterfront land with the public is a remarkable gesture to anyone who experiences it! My Golden didn’t really take advantage of the huge property to run and fun, as it’s right on the river and he was there to swim, swim, swim. Just a 20 minute drive from our home in SE Austin. This area of Austin takes you back to a slower pace. So peaceful and relaxing. Truly a gem. Thanks so much!Jolene S.

55This place has gotten so much better than the last time I visited, which was already hard to do. This time there was a map of the property, everything was rearranged, a kiddie pool was filled, and there's a new option to take polaroids!!! Forever my fave spotDean S.

55This is such a neat, tranquil, well shaded space--it was a delight to spend some time roaming and exploring with my pup early on a summer morning before it got too hot. I love all of the decor and relaxing sounds of nature. Thanks to the host for sharing their space with us!Brittany B.

FAQ about our Austin dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Austin?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park 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.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
