55Dogs had fun checking out a new spot. My 6 yr old lab/pit loves to play ball and the terrain made it a little difficult for her as she has a bad knee but we did manage to find a relatively flat area to play in. My dogs had a great time. It was a nice spot and owner left water for the dogs and ourselves in a cooler too. Do C.

55Katie was very helpful and thorough with directions on accessing the property. We had a great time playing fetch and sniff-and-find the ball. There were lots of toys and water/water bowls. Thanks for sharing your great space. We hope to be back soon! Cristina R.

55It was a good workout for our very energetic Boxer puppy and his older brother. The rocks were nice for our older dog to escape the puppy when he needed a rest.Michelle K.

55This is a wonderful Sniffspot. My dog had an amazing time and I had lots of shady spots and seating options. They provide cool water for both furry and human guests which we both appreciated. I highly recommend it. Erika E.

55Our dogs had a great time here. It is hilly so just be prepared footwear-wise. Our dogs seemed to love the hills, though, and ran around like mad. Spot was easy to find. We went early in the AM so shade wasn’t an issue but there is a shady spot with water for pups and chairs for people. We’ll

55This is truly a perfect oasis! Katie provides every thoughtful touch you can think of, including lots of water, toys, a wonderful shade tent, a cooling dog bed, and immediate responses should you need anything. The rocks and trees and lots of things to explore created one of the best afternoons my newly adopted dog and I have had yet. He got to just be a dog. I got to relax and play (and climb rocks)! We absolutely can’t recommend Katie and her Oasis enough! We’ll be back!Lou H.

FAQ about our Big Bear Lake 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Big Bear Lake 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 304 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
