55This place was fantastic! Plenty of room for my reactive dog who got to roam free, which he doesn’t get to do often. We missed the turn to get there and Alma was very considerate and showed us the way. Will definitely be back!Karen A.

55Directions were perfect, found it with no issues. My pup had a blast! The stream trail was so much fun! My pup had zoomies jumping in and out of the water, exploring and sniffing everything. We got to pick some avocados and ride in the ATV with Alma where she shared some history of the ranch, it was a great time. Can’t wait to come back. Marvalisa N.

55We had such a great time at this SniffSpot! Tons of room to explore and the creek is fantastic. There was a little bit of a technical difficulty at the gate that stopped us from being able to start on time, but the owner graciously let us extend our time because of this.

55The host’s communication and directions, which included pictures, were spot on. Super easy to find. When we got there we really didn’t know what to expect and the host even gave us options. Which we didn’t need because the hike was beautiful, mostly shady, and easy for our little dogs to navigate. The experience was exactly what I wanted for my dogs. I will definitely be reserving this spot again. I’ve even already recommended it friends. Thank you to the hosts for providing a safe and private experience for beloved furry family members. Staci G.

55We loved it! We love trails so much so to have one privately was so cool. I took my four girls in the morning, alma was awesome and instructions were very clear! There are some sloped parts and elevation so even though my dogs can be off leash, they aren’t the most obedient, and ran too far ahead from us for comfort so we leashed them. Trails were clean and stream was such a blast!! We were finally able to relax and let them off leash at the stream. They had Zoomies, wrestled with each other, and lots and lots of sniffs. We are definitely going back. Thank you Alma and David for providing such a fun safe space for the fido kiddos 🐾Allison F.

55The trail and area are beautiful and the drive to the farm was very scenic. Be sure to pay attention to the directions Alma sends since google maps did steer me wrong initially. My dog does not do a lot of hiking so I was a bit over ambitious in thinking we could do the full creek hike, but we had a lovely time enjoying the views and taking it slow. I also was able to order some produce from the farm ahead of time which was awesome. The hosts were very accommodating and offered to give us a ride back from the creek if we needed it. Highly recommended!Rocio R.

55The stream habitat is great! My dogs absolutely loved walking in the water and climbing over the rocks! One thing to note is the hike down to the stream is a tad steep in a few sections. I went here with my parents and my mom had some trouble navigating some of the terrain. Wear proper shoes and make sure you are prepared for hiking up and down some hills. On the way to the sniffspot we got painfully lost despite the host giving us instructions. The location is rural and the roads to the location are long, windy, mountain roads. You don't need 4wd but be prepared if those roads make you nervous. When I got lost (multiple times) I called the host of the property and they were very helpful and patient with reorienting me. On the way out we got a little turned around AGAIN because our phone wouldn't connect to GPS. We weren't able to do the lemonade add on because their vehicle had a flat tire, so she offered to refund me, give me more time, or to take some avocados. We went with the refund. Overall it was great once we got to exploring the area. The stream had a nice sitting area to lounge in while the dogs played in the stream which my parents really enjoyed. Getting to and from the sniffspot was a little stressful but I'd say the experience was worth it! Michelle J.

Be aware that the terrain is mostly steep so be prepared for some hiking. And since the property is remote, remember that phone service is spotty. Also make sure to bring poop bags and water bowl/bottle. The place is beautiful and we definitely plan on coming back. Rafaella N.

FAQ about our Dana Point 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.

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.
How much do Sniffspot dog water parks cost?
Dog water parks in the Dana Point area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog water park is Cole Family Farms. The most expensive dog water park is Cole Family Farms. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
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.
