55We had an energetic visit and hiked down the hill to the beautiful creek furnished with some lovely places to sit & enjoy the peaceful sounds and watch the dogs frolic. We got some good cardio walking back up from the creek and used up every minute of our one hour reservation. We felt very safe and did not encounter any other animals or threats to our 2 Jack Russells and Golden Doodle. We would return to this fabulous Sniffspot location again! Greta B.

55This was such a beautiful trail and location to bring our dogs. We felt so safe having our dogs being off leash and they really enjoyed it. The little creek is a perfect location for a picnic.
Bring water and snacks
The walk back is a great workout. Our dogs fell asleep the moment they were in the car. Analissa V.

55Absolutely amazing!! Definitely going back! The creek and is so beautiful, this is something i’ve been looking for my pup for a long time. They gave amazing directions to get to their property and were in amazing communication with me as well! I drove about an hour and half to bring him here and it was 100% worth it and will definitely do it again! I’ve never seen my pup so happy. Thank you so much! Rosalyne J.

55We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Choice Avocados with our three youngest doggies. The trail leading to the stream was an absolute highlight and should not be missed! Alma, our host, was incredibly friendly. If it weren't for the two-hour distance from our home, we'd find ourselves here every single weekend. We reserved a few hours and throughout our entire visit, our dogs were joyously wagging their tails and making joyful splashes in the water.
We brought our eight-month-old German Shepherd pups and a one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix. And it wasn't just the Jack Russell who was losing his marbles with excitement; the German Shepherds were right there with him. Running all over, splishing, splashing, and having the time of their lives. This sniffspot? If you're around or feel like a bit of a drive, it's a no-brainer. Totally worth every mile. We're already itching to come back, and you bet we're bringing more doggies next time!Wendy M.

55We had the best time! Our border collie is high drive and high energy and we’ve missed off lead trails (especially with water) since we moved from the PNW. This was an amazing space - she loved the short hike down and had a blast at the creek. It was calm, clean, and very fun and relaxing for my wife and I as well. Our dog slept all the way back to LA, and a tired border collie is a happy border collie :) We’ll definitely be coming back. Jude M.

55Moderately difficult hike on the way back up from the creek, wear shoes for hiking and be aware it’s loose sand!
The creek is paradise - we got lost and ended up taking an hour to finally get down to the creek so we didn’t get nearly as much time as we wanted, it’s so hard to leave!
Alma was so patient and helpful making sure we got there safely, well absolutely be back!Florencia P.

55It was a lot of fun being able to hike around the area with our pup. There was some confusion on the extra lemonade/lemon picking add-on we purchased. But overall the hosts were lovely and helpful. Just be aware there is very little cellular signal, so communicating with the hosts while hiking is a bit difficult.Cara V.

55Great spot and the dogs always love playing in the water. Caution though the trails leading to and from the stream are extremely hot and we ended up having to take breaks in shaded spots and hurry to the next shade patch on the way out so we didn't burn their pads. Would recommend bringing doggy shoes when you visit since it is so hot out now.Tyler K.

55I came once again ! I thought I’d know how to get there then ended up going with google maps but went completely around the way she said! But that was my fault even with it being my fault they offered me to stay an extra 30 min! So thoughtful since I was STRESSED. My boys loved it even more this time I have a sharpei that never gets in water ! He loved getting wet and it was so peaceful with a rough week we had such an amazing visit! Highly recommend Amanda M.

55Our dogs always have a blast here! This was our first time renting the stream hike as an add on to the avocado grove, and it was awesome. The stream area is beautiful and the water is running and clear. The trails are well maintained - found only a few avocados dropped on the ground, in case anyone is concerned about their dogs getting into them, and I wasn’t worried about it at all. Would highly recommend wearing hiking boots if going down to the stream as that portion of the trail is steeper. Kristiene G.

FAQ about our San Clemente 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Clemente area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 260 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 38 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
