55This place was great!!!! So much fun and it felt like a hike almost. I would recommend wearing hiking boots over sandals. Josh was super nice and I felt very welcome. There were two other dogs when we first pulled in, but they were no problem and didn’t bother us. They stayed in the house’s yard which wasn’t near where the sniffspot began. Well worth the drive from Lexington!!Karoline E.

55We had a great visit with our dogs! The property is beautiful; very quiet and a great opportunity to hike and explore. The creek was perfect for our dogs to splash and run. Our lab mix finally got the chance to learn to swim today! Both dogs fell asleep as soon as they got in the car. Tired and happy dogs. Samantha P.

55Beautiful and HUGE area for pup to explore. Owner was super nice and Zen had a blast. I'm fairly certain my dog would have given me up without a second thought to live here Ashley P.

55What a wonderful place! Beautiful open fields, nice trails through the woods, amazing big creek, and cute little pond where we saw an otter! The entire property was extremely well cared for. Definitely plan at least 2.5 hours to explore the entire property! It was also SO peaceful! Josh was also very responsive and easy to communicate with! Will definitely be back again! Keiko W.

55This Sniffspot is awesome! Josh gave great instructions on where to park and how to explore the area. The land is beautiful and has so much space for us to explore. My pup is reactive and this was a perfect spot for him- quiet, no one around, and so much space! We were there for about an hour and half. Hope to be back soon! Emma R.

55WOW, this is such a gorgeous property, we will most definitely be back! We brought our reactive 2 yr old Great Dane here and I've never seen him more at peace. He splashed around in the creek and ran through the hills and just had the time of his life. We had total solitude from people and dogs (besides seeing a couple people in the distance at the very front of the property but my dog didn't care). This is everything we were looking for, thank you so much!Kelly C.

55Gorgeous land with trails leading to a creek and pond. Dogs loved it! Keep in mind the property is fenced but it’s 200 acres. 2/3 of our dogs stayed with us but one wanted to run off and had to remain on a leash. As stated in the description, we did run into a couple of kind folks who live on the property. Had a wonderful time!Makenzie R.

55We really loved this spot and can't wait to come back! Plenty of open spaces and the creek was the perfect spot for our pups to cool off. We got a little turned around at first but once we got on the path with the signs, it was easy to find our way. This spot definitely requires you to be proactive about tick prevention and checking your dogs thoroughly after your visit as it is all mowed trails and brush. We did run into one of the neighbors and his small dog while exploring. It didn't bother us but is something to look out for or notify the host if you have a reactive dog! Brooke E.

55This was awesome ! Owner communicated strongly that there were a few dogs at the beginning of the property near the house so he gave me an alternate route to make sure we had a private experience. (Dogs were not in the farm field ). Once we were in the field, The paths were marked with signs and green ties on trees. The paths were mowed so there was a nice walkway. We will definitely visit again. Note that the front of the farm isn’t fenced but the sides are. The property is huge. My dog did great thou and never ran Towards the front that wasn’t fenced. The mowed paths gave her a great sense of direction as we work to off leash her. Definitely 5 stars Jessica B.

55Beautiful, expansive farm with tons of exploring and swimming. All of the amenities you could want. Our dogs(and us) had a blast running free and swimming in the creek. There were clearly marked trails with directions to the creek, terrace and pond. We only saw a fraction of the property in our 2 hour slot. The area is Super clean and well maintained.
We did not notice any fencing, but didn’t need it since the area is so vast. We drove an hour to get there and it was well worth it. Jonathan S.

FAQ about our Owenton 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 Owenton?
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.

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.
