55The ULTIMATE Sniffspot. My husband and I brought our Rottie and Golden Retriever to Marj’s place and they had a blast. Our dogs have energy for days, so this place was a godsend; huge field to run and a creek to swim. Needless to say they crashed the second we got back in the truck. Victory! On top of this being an epic spot for anyone looking for an open but fenced area to roam/run, Marj couldn’t have been sweeter. She was a delight to speak with, very responsive, and beyond accommodating. Such a wonderful experience. We’ll be back for sure.Kate B.

55It was beautiful. Directions were clear. Communication was great. There were campers on the same property but we were not intrusive to each other since our boy was leashed (long line). Great trails and amenities. The partial fencing does include old wire fence so I’d say keep you buddies leashed or within call since there’s an awesome barrier of tall beautiful grasses. The little beach access to the creek was lovely for our lil’ big guy. We had so much fun with him, THAN YOU SO MUCH for sharing such a wonderful space!!!Gabe H.

55I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Amazing! So thankful the host opens this up to sniffspot. There are open fields for dogs to run, and a great deal of trails in tall grass near the river for smells. Lots of space for running. Dannyalle B.

55Beautiful property. Lots of things to do. We played fetch, we wandered the trails and the dogs had many swims in the stream. Very well maintained and owners were prompt to answer when we messaged them. We hope to be back again. Thank you so much!!Caitlin H.

55GREAT spot! We drove in from the twin cities and this was a perfect area for us. Very private and tons of space to roam around. The beach spot on the river was definitely the highlight! Our dog had a blast and we will definitely be back. Jenn R.

55This was doggo heaven for our pups! Large open grassy flat land to throw balls as well as groomed paths through tall natural landscaping and the most perfect spot to take a dip in the shallow clear kinni river. We went back 2 times in a weekend, it was so perfect!
Quick trip from cities, easy to find and park! Ashley R.

55Even better than our last visit! When we were here earlier in the summer, it was hard to access the creek. This time there was an area where the grass was cut back and even a nice bench and fire ring. I noticed the owner had a pop up tent and portable toilet (a bucket with a seat and trash bags) sitting out. I’d stopped to use the bathroom beforehand but it was nice to know it was there just in case! And obviously with kids that would be helpful too.
My dog had a wonderful morning just playing in the creek and chasing a few ball along the mowed trails. it’s definitely a favorite Sniffspot. Leah B.

55We brought our husky mix puppy here to check it out. Quickly realized his older sisters would love it too. AND easy for them to navigate around with their arthritis and vision issues. We'll be back with all 3 soon! Jenna F.

55This is truly a gem! Nice grassy trails through a prairie with wildflowers. The river is beautiful and my dog loved splashing around. My dog is not reliable off leash in new spaces so we enjoyed it with a long lead. Easy to locate the property and parking area as well. Can’t wait to return - worth the drive from the cities! Jenn H.

FAQ about our Clear Lake 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Clear Lake area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 139 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
