55This is a great space. We met the owners before visiting with our dog due to his reactivity to strangers. Owners were very flexible and kind in regards to my request. Jo showed us around the space, she is really sweet, and so welcoming. I loved our visit day with Devon. It was so nice to relax and let him explore and just have a carefree walk. Jo was great with communicating and directions to the property as well as where to park. I found this experience to be so joyful. I really appreciate her kindness, communication and freedom to roam. We have booked our next visit.Cassie R.

55Attentive host! Great showing us the lay of the land. The horses were great distraction (no petting!) and curious.
Our dogs have a great recall, but if your dog doesn’t there is a lot of flat land to run & run far. Easy to use long lines if needed.
Can wait to go and play again! Sara M.

55This is such a great spot to take your dog to run and explore. There's so much space with clearly-marked fencing for you to play fetch or just run around and feel secure that your dog won't get loose. Jo and her husband were wonderful and met us to show us around the property and answer any questions. We will definitely be back!Stan P.

55Fantastic magical spot. Long grass for my pit bull to hop around like a bunny, lots of stinky muddy pits for my St. Bernard X to roll in, and river access for swimming! Really welcoming and kind homeowner showed me around. The spot is massive and super fun. Our hour flew by, and we will certainly be back. Thank you!Lorenzo F.

55The host is really wonderful at communicating how to get to the location and where to park. She also showed us around when we got there and gave us the lay of the land. The area by the river is a nice quiet spot away from everything. And the field around the property is great for running and sniffing! Our dog had a great time and we had fun watching him explore!Ambra R.

55Magical fairyland. This spot is super nice. Extremely organized, with clear signage, parking, instructions, etc. The dogs absolutely loved exploring the trails and splashing in the water. The humans thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and watching the dogs have fun.
They even have eggs and plant starts available for purchase. We bought some eggs, and after trying them, we never want to go back to grocery store eggs.
If you're planning a trip here, just be aware that the trails are on a hillside, so wear shoes appropriate for walking up and down some relatively steep inclines.
We want to send our heartfelt thanks to our hosts for sharing their beautiful spot with others through SniffSpot. We're so grateful we got to visit!Jennifer M.

55This was an amazing corner of the woods that has perfect walking paths for the humans and lots of space for the dogs to run and sniff. A small warning to the humans though...the property is quite steep lol. They have benches at various places to sit and rest while the dogs run though so it's perfect :)Madison A.

55Had a great time. It was very satisfying to throw the ball downhill a gazillion times. Boys loved the mud and the creek. Fantastic workout hills. Choo got spooked as we were leaving by neighbors shooting but we were leaving anyway so it incentivized the last uphill. Ines D.

55The trails are slippery this time of year and steep- not for the faint of heart! However, if you’re up for it, you won’t regret going to this actual Portland paradise. The dogs absolutely ran their hearts out on those trails. This place is such a gem. Megan G.

55This was our first Sniffspot and an awesome one! The property is huge, beautiful and provides so many different terrains/smells/activities for dogs. Mac especially enjoyed the creek at the bottom of the trail. It is definitely very steep, so be ready for that tough climb back to the car! Tiana R.

55The mud was epic (we love it). If you don't wanna go down red trail, try yellow trail and then cutting across if you still want to get to the stream. You can check out the fort and take refuge from the downpours there (forecast looking 🌧 for at least another week).Ines D.

FAQ about our Castle Rock 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 Castle Rock?
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.
