55This property is beautiful! It is also such a well marked spot. I wish everyone would make it so clear. Always knew where I could go and where I couldn't. The animals (I think chickens and goats) are all behind safe fencing. The inclines are no joke. Definitely counts for leg day and cardio! As others mentioned, it's super muddy right now. We really loved it here and will be back. Kim K.

55Your own private hiking trail! This spot was amazing—so well maintained and the host clearly put a ton of effort into creating a unique experience.
Be sure to wear trail shoes if it’s been rainy and a towel if your dog is the type to hops in the creek. Go for an hour, it’s worth having the time to explore.
There’s also a farm stand on site with eggs and such which was such a cool surprise!Talia R.

55First time out and we enjoyed exploring the offerings. Be sure to scan the QR code at the "trailhead" and watch for the ribbons, which were a big help. Much of the property is sloped, so prepare for hills and ample mud in the rainy season. We found that one hour was the right amount of time to explore.Karen H.

55This place is so beautiful! Definitely a workout but the views are worth it. I do recommend hiking boots because some portions were a bit slippery (mud in March, no big deal) and steep. My dog had a great time sniffing and chomping on grass. Super quiet with the occasional chicken chirps. I’ll definitely come back! Raichell K.

55This was so much fun! There was so much for the dogs to explore and a nice easy hike for us. It is very well maintained but be sure to prepare for you and your dogs to be muddy during this rainy season. And wear shoes with good traction because some places are a bit slick. An hour was the perfect amount of time. I highly recommend checking it out, we will be back!Kim J.

55Absolutely an amazing beautiful property! A little muddy but not as bad as I would’ve thought. Amazing job and keeping the trails marked. I loved being able to let me dog off his leash and let him run. I unclipped him and he looked at me like “really?!” He ran through all the leaves and puddles it was like he was a puppy again. Also brought my cat as he loves adventures too and he loved looking at all the birds. Overall an amazing beautiful quiet property with a host who truly cares. Breeana M.

55This was our first time using sniffspot and we had a lovely time. This property was very well marked and had short but moderately rugged trails. We were there mid-February, so naturally there was mud in some areas and parts of the paths could be rather steep, so wear appropriate hiking shoes. Luke met us at the gate as I didn't initially go down the driveway to see the parking area. He was super helpful and friendly, gave us the overview of the property, and then disappeared so we could enjoy his land.Carrie E.

55This is such a unique and beautiful spot! Perfect for sniffy dogs. The trails aren't super long but they are steep! It's a great workout for dog and human. The map is super helpful. I agree with others; it's like a piece of Forest Park all to your self. The farm stand is great too!Jessica T.

55This Sniffspot is amazing! It really is like having a piece of Forest Park all to yourself. One of my dogs is reactive and I felt comfortable letting him run around off leash. The trails are marked well and there are signs to let you know when you’re at the end. The steep trails are perfect for wearing my two labs out! We will definitely be back! Lindsey A.

55What an amazing place. The maps, trail markings, and easy parking! 🤩 Very quiet and secluded.
It was muddy, yes, but I was fine in hiking boots. We did not go too far downhill since I was worried about slipping, or my dog taking me out running down the hills. That is MY issue, not the spaces!
This location is going to be amazing in the summer. Lots of shade and won’t be muddy. I’ve got to get my hill legs back in shape. 😆
Dogs had a blast! They did need baths when we got home but I figured that would be the case & planned for it. Sara M.

55Talk about amazing!!! My boys had a blast. I even got a great workout hiking up the trails. The creek spot was definitely the highlight for my goofballs. Both boys are tired out and I’m pretty sure this adventure beats the normal daily walk.
Tip, wear good traction shoes because it’s muddy and the hills can be slippery - I was certainly glad I wore my Bog rain boots :)

55Awesome spot! This is a forest park vibe with a little creek running along the trail. Our pups loved it! Like anywhere else in the PNW during winter, it was muddy. Not a big deal. The parking was well described and the was trail marked. We will definitely be back! Page W.

FAQ about our Clatskanie 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 Clatskanie?
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.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
