55Lovely spot ☺️ do not let dogs off leash unless they have good recall though!! Gate to the property opened once when a delivery driver came in which led to the road and driver got out of car and was in fenced area with pups. There also was an off leash dog at one point on other side of creek with no barrier in between so if you have reactive dogs it could be an issue. Only mention these for safety reasons, but if your pup is friendly/has good recall then it’s a gem of a spot!!! Lots of room to explore and sniff, with a lovely stream running through it 💗 unfortunately it wasn’t a good fit for us, but only bc our dogs have very big feelings about other dogs and people.

55Remy and I had a fabulous time here! We're from Montana, visiting family and I was greatly impressed with all the amenities that are offered here! They literally thought of everything (absolutely love the bath area and gently appreciated it since we did get rather sandy from the creek). Highly recommend this spot!Stephanie S.

55This is the first visit to “our beach” since we lost our girl in October. Jake knew exactly where he was going when we got on Indian Springs Road. It was bittersweet for me because I have so many wonderful memories of her there.But it was a beautiful day and Jake had the absolute best time - I think he loved having it all to himself. ☺️ I know next time we’ll be easier….
They’ve added a trampoline, foosball table, cornhole – in addition to the kayaks and rafts. This is a great place to bring your whole family and spend a few hours. Peggie H.

55Great space - they loved it - getting two border collies tired is a FEAT...And, they finally learned to swim a bit - perfect spot to learn if you have dogs afraid of water but are toy/treat motivated..., they can just take their time Deirdre S.

55This place was everything I hoped for! There was plenty of shade, even at noon. I was so in awe of the creek’s beach that I didn’t even explore all the toys available for the pups, so be sure to check those out when you arrive. The restroom and washing station were also a great bonus.
The host’s advice about pups with good recall is spot on - my pointer Tootsie had a blast running in the opposite direction up the hill at first! Once she was leashed, we all enjoyed the water together as a family. The creek is mostly shallow, but there are deeper spots, so keep an eye on your pups if they’re not used to swimming. Can’t wait to come back!Liz C.

55Charlie and I had a great time at our first visit to this spot! It’s beautiful and quiet, and Tanya has clearly put a lot of time and energy into anticipating potential needs of guests.
Charlie was a big fan of the creek, which has a nice variety of shallow and deep spots, as well as moving water and fairly still spots.
The fence was just fine for my large dog, although anyone with teeny dogs may want to be aware that the driveway gate has gaps between the bars, but nothing that wooden spoon trick wouldn’t fix!
We will be back :)Emily B.

55My dog had a wonderful time exploring this site. It was easy to get to and to find. The creek is beautiful. My dog isn't interested in swimming or playing in water, although it's fantastic for dogs that love water. My dog is quite reactive to other dogs, and we didn't see or hear any other dogs while there. Multiple chairs availble to sit down for a break made it quite comfortable. We had a long drive after and I greatly appreciated having a restroom available for customers. Pam G.

FAQ About Penn Valley 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.
