55Beautiful and fantastic for sniffing. Definitely recommend! There are a variety of trails for different levels of challenge. Wear boots and bring a towel for your dog's feet, it can be muddy. Anne H.

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.

55This was our 3rd time visiting this spot and it just gets better and better. I can’t get over this place! It’s so peaceful and beautiful… and private! My dog never gets to run off leash unless the place is fenced in but I feel safe enough to let her run around here and the reward is major. I’ve never seen her happier! Thanks for sharing such a magical spot with us :) Page W.

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.

55So nice to have a big area to explore in this area! Bring your waterproof shoes because this is Oregon and you will be much more comfortable with dry feet. Rachael S.

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.

55Beautiful walk through the woods with some creeks and lots of good sniffing around for my dog. We practiced recall and used a long line because there are deer and elk in the vicinity. Really great spot, we will be back. Tammy S.

55This place is a reactive dog paradise! My dog had a blast running, sniffing, and exploring the steep, but well marked trails. The stream and mud simply added to her enjoyment! Plus, it was nice for neither of us to have to worry about seeing other dogs. We had a wonderful time! Tomlin P.

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.
