55This place is awesome! If your dog loves water they have an amazing spring fed pond. Our dog splashed around for over 30 minutes. They also have more land than you can even imagine. Our shepherd loved running around in the tall grass. Bring your hiking / outdoor boots and some bug spray. The owner was great to communicate with. Rachael P.

55The best Sniffspot in the area! Private little pond and trail for you and your dogs to enjoy without worrying about other people and dogs. The host, Dale, greeted us upon arrival and checked in with us on our way out. We will definitely be back here again soon, as we have two dogs who don’t really care for other dogs. We enjoyed looking at the beautiful wildflowers. There were a ton of frogs swimming in the pond, one was even laying eggs!! You’ll see adorable wild bunnies. Closer to the house they have a few roosters. It truly felt like a little vacation only 30 minutes away from home. You won’t be disappointed! Jessica D.

55Dale was very nice! The property is awesome and the dogs had a blast cooling off in the pond.
We had our pointer with us and he generously let us have her check out some of his quail.

55Amazing spot to dip your paws in the sand! The pond was perfect for our boys to have lots of zoomies. We walked the trail & our smaller dog did get some thorn twigs wrapped around his skinny legs towards the back near the loop so just keep that in mind. No one was injured, we just had to pick ‘em off. We’ll definitely be back! Destiny S.

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.

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.

We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
