55Really cute spot! Loved how there was shallow and deeper areas. There were lots of mosquitos because we went at sundown, but they provided bug spray. My dog is new to the water, so it was nice that there was a life jacket. And a variety of toys. Aria D.

55Super great spot that’s stocked with everything you could need! Lots of smells for my hunting dog to work his nose too! Highly recommend! The mosquitoes are pretty crazy but there was mosquito spray there and the host did warn me ahead of time so I cannot complain. HahaMaggie L.

55We took our hospice foster here to see if she would like to try swimming and she LOVED it — we all did! Can’t wait to come back with our doggies. So grateful for the use of this super unique and private swimming spot! Peyton O.

55My herd has two senior pups, only one of which likes water, and an 80+ pound very reactive young buck who can’t be off leash. It is HARD to find a place that they all love. After one visit, I can say that this is such a place. Make sure to read the access directions to save yourself some stress, and don’t be dissuaded by the heavily wooded and very buggy walk into the beach area — then be prepared to say “whoa” as the woods open into a lovely little riverside clearing. I have half a mind to book it again tomorrow, for twice as much time, and redo the hour drive each way because a clean, well-stocked adventure spot that results in 200+ pounds of dog snoring in my backseat is well worth it!Emily H.

55This is an incredible spot for dogs who love to swim or even for dogs new to swimming! There are toys provided, dog float vests if needed and long waterproof lead lines if you aren’t quite ready for you doggo to be free in the water. If I could I would rate this spot 10/10! Even places for the humans to sit and relax. We will be back! Thank you so much for opening this place to the public!Deanne R.

55This is an absolute gem of a Sniffspot. I brought my two doggos and my 2 daughters and it was so magical. The path down to the beach is so whimsical and there were native flowers surrounding the trail with butterflies and bees buzzing everywhere. The beach was just what my dogs ordered - clean, safe water with plenty of places to sniff out and splash in. My daughters used the chairs to chill in the river. The beach spot was well marked and fully furnished with everything you'd need for our stay (we brought our own fresh water). I'm really grateful for a Sniffspot like this so close to Eau Claire. We will definitely be back!Katie G.

55This place is so amazing! Even though the river was a bit higher there was plenty of room to play. She has everything you could need; toys, long leashes, bug spray and treats too. Hank was having too much fun to worry about treats… that rarely happens. Awesome for dogs and humans; many native plants along the path. We will be back soon!Amanda T.

55We loved our time here! It’s a great set up, secluded with plenty to do. My dog had a great time splashing and the water isn’t too deep, he could still stand and run. We will definitely be back! Abbie H.

55Beautiful spot and easy to get to. My dogs had a blast running around on the beach and in the water playing. Will definitely be going back in the future. Perfect way to spend the evening with the pups after a busy work day. Did not have to worry about seeing any other person or dog, so it is very private! Jennifer N.

55Such a gem of a spot! The hanging signage & art along the path made it very easy to navigate to the water. Heather had great communication & explained everything thoroughly. The beach/river was gorgeous, my dogs were thoroughly exhausted after just our hour! I highly recommend checking this spot out!Taylor W.

FAQ About Strum 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.
