55Love this place!! my husband and I were enjoying the view while our pup wanted to watch the chickens!! Haha mostly because of the 87 degree weather, we’ll be sure to explore on a much cooler day. Will definitely be back! Rebecca S.

55We really enjoyed this Sniffspot! Lots of space to explore, cool rocks, lots of chairs in different areas if you fancy chillin' out. Keep in mind that this Sniffspot is pretty steep. There is not much flat land, so good exercise! Wear proper shoes so you don't slip. There were some grassy areas but mostly dirt. We were pleased that the host left us a cooler filled with water bottles, and sunblock, hand sanitizer. We also enjoyed the covered gazebo. The site lists an indoor restroom, but when we asked, the host informed us she wasn't home to let us in, which is fine. We were surprised that a Sniffspot would offer a bathroom anyway. Connie S.

55We had such a great time! It was well fenced. No other dogs to make my reactive dog bark. Katie was super nice a responsive. Lots of water and toys. Fun places for my dog to sniff. We went on a super hot day so my dog wore out quickly but there was shade for him to rest. We will definitely go back but maybe later in the afternoon so it’s a bit cooler. Thanks so much Katie!

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.
