55Great spot! My only suggestion if you are going is to wear long pants, especially if wandering through the woods. The blackberry vines will tear up your legs if you don’t. But my dogs loved it and we will be back!Corey T.

55I visit this spot regularly because I love it and my dog loves it. So much space and access to the river, which is incredibly rare. But even if you don't make it to the river, it's still an amazing spot to walk knowing that you aren't going to run into anyone else. It's such a wonderful reprieve from walking in my neighborhood. Definitely worth the drive. Sang K.

55AMAZING!!! Unbelievable beautiful. Can’t wait to come back. Note: The calendar unfortunately let’s you book 1 hour slots but that is not enough time to get down to water and back. Just an FYI:) Renée M.

55This was our first time to this spot and we had an amazing day.
Robin is such a kind and welcoming host and her communication was exceptional.
She showed us to the actual field where we started our visit and gave us directions on how to reach the river. You can walk the whole way if you want or drive part way if you have a car that can handle a bit of a rough road.
After a bit of trial and error and some adventures through the woods- we found the river! Wear long pants and don’t expect perfectly manicured trail— it’s a farm and woods after all. Bring your phone in case you need to make sure you are going the right way- we used Google Maps satellite view.
It was so peaceful and beautiful once we got to the river. Niko just loved playing in the water and we loved watching him so happy. There were some people floating around the other side of the river but it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the middle of summer. Kinda prime time. :)
A great time was had by all- thanks so much for hosting us Andrea! Danielle W.

55A wonderful & gorgeous place to play! The Host was super friendly and had a lot of information for us. It made us feel so good to be able to watch our dog walk and sniff around without being on a leash and worry about other dogs. He even played in the river (and he doesn't like water). Such a happy boy! We will definitely come back again. Beth M.

552nd time here and we love it! We were running late to our time slot and we sent a last minute request to change our time by half an hour - the host was super accommodating. Our pup had a blast in the water, and we got to enjoy the sunshine. I would definitely recommend Allison C.

55My dog had a great time! Robin was so welcoming and provided very clear directions to get to the river. The water level is low right now which is perfect for dogs who prefer wading to swimming. Jui H.

55This is an amazing spot! The dogs had so much fun playing at the river! We did end up driving part of the way to the river since our car was able to handle the road but it would be a lovely walk if we didn’t. The river is mostly large rocks so make sure you wear appropriate footwear. Can’t wait to come back! Sara M.

55Another super fun outing to Pajo Ranch and the river! This time we booked 3 hours so as to have more time to hang out/explore at the river.
I highly recommend this Sniffspot :) Robin is a great host and everything runs easily and smoothly. Susan H.

55I love this place. It’s like a private river front escape. My dogs are always worn out and bonus is that my kids are too. This is my favorite sniff spot Leelan S.

55This property is big and secluded. The trails to go on are surrounded by cornfields and woods, blackberries. One of our dogs has reactivity issues and we had no problem here. On the trail on the way to the river we did hear one small dog on a neighboring property but it didn’t sound super close by and was not visible. We came here on the weekend and once on the river there were some other people in the distance and across the river. Our dogs had no issue with this and I think it would be fine for most. Zoe Z.

FAQ about our Gold Bar 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 Gold Bar?
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.
