55We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this spot with our pups! The parking was as described, and the trail to the river was easy to navigate. It’s such a beautiful and private area—highly recommend! A few things to note: there are drop-offs and small cliffs along the trail that were initially hard to spot due to some overgrowth, so keep a close eye if you have dogs that like to wander. The climb back up from the river is fairly steep, both on the rocks and the hiking trail back. Overall, a great experience :) We can’t wait to come back soon!Erin D.

55This Sniffspot is amazing!!! There’s a wonderful short trail down to the water and then you’re right in a quiet little cove with plenty of space away from other folks! The dock area is very nice and a great place for a little snack before or after exploring the river.
Getting to the water requires a little bit of climbing, but nothing our dog wasn’t able to figure out. We were there on Labor Day and saw about ~7 boats, but they all were moving slowly, and kept decent distance. We did hear dogs barking, but never saw them. The partial fencing was as described, so we kept our dog on leash near the road (the Sniffspot entry doesn’t have a gate). It was a great way to practice on-leash hiking without the constant worry of humans/dogs. We loved this spot and will definitely be back! Rachel Z.

FAQ About Danville 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.
