55This is a great spot for high energy dogs, especially if they enjoy a swim. The entrance is before the house, so if you see a pretty lavender house on the right side of the road, you have gone a little bit too far. We parked by the side of the driveway, near the pond, They have lots and lots of room in their front and side yards, plus a gravel path through to the back area where there is a mown field surrounded by grassland. Our three dogs had a wonderful time with lots and lots of sniffing and zoomies. All three dogs were interested in the pond, but only one really did any swimming. There are four domestic ducks that hang around in the pond, but they know how to stay away from the dogs. There is no fencing, but the yard is bordered by thick shrubbery, and the gravel road is very lightly traveled. It’s always great to take home a tired pup!Lynee P.

55What an amazing spot! Perfect for hikers who want to walk with their dogs in forest park, but can’t because of dog reactivity. Directions and instructions for arrival were easy to follow. The trails are well maintained and well marked. Beautiful spot, I’ll be back! Lizzie F.

55Great spot! Multiple trails and a creek that runs through. Definitely gets muddy in the wet season so bring hiking boots to avoid slipping and a towel to clean off your dog. My dog loved it! Ciara K.

55We always have a blast here. So many hills to run up and tire my pup out on. It’s muddy which should be expected this time of year, but all of the branches and fallen trees have been cleared from the paths. Eric P.

55We really enjoyed this spot! I was happy to see that everything was marked very clearly and the paths were obvious! An hour gave us enough time to explore two of the paths with stops to play and sniff around. I will say that it can be VERY SLIPPERY in some spots but that didn’t detract from the amount of fun my dog had! I did hear music and some construction type noises but my dog is deaf so of course it didn’t bother him. Overall, very good spot!Jessica O.

55What a great visit. My chubby self got a great workout. Make sure in winter you wear good sho3s. Probably want hikers. I did slide down in a couple spots but we had so much fun. My boys loved the trails and raced back and forth. This was our first unfenced one, but 0 issues as lots of natural boundaries. Can't wait to come back . Would love to see this in spring and summer as well. Dina C.

FAQ about our Cornelius dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?

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.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?

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.

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.
