55Great little trail! We saw a deer when we first got there! Love the dog wash station since my boy had to go into the water and got a bit dirty. Definitely would come back again! It feels like your own mini private hikeLeanne V.

55Jeannette was a gracious host who met us upon arrival. A hidden gem of a spot with a well-kept path around a small lake. It's a spectacular place to watch the leaves change colour in tranquility. Our dog Archie took advantage of being off-leash to run full bore up and down the trail and sniff for critters along the water without restriction. Thank you, Jeannette, for sharing your place with us.Maria D.

55Wonderful, scenic location. Peaceful surroundings and very easy to navigate. Lots of space for frisbee and general running around while taking some side trails for a more forest feel. Can’t wait to return. Lena I.

55Absolutely gorgeous spot to hike! The dogs loved it and even swam in the lake in October lol! I've seen ticks mentioned in other reviews - our dogs are on prevention and I didn't find any ticks on them at all after our hike. I will say that if you have a hairy dog you might want to bring a brush as there were a lot of burrs. Kate M.

55This place was a paradise. Dogs went swimming. Little toss and fetch off the dock. Short hike around the lake and no burrs or hitchhikers, foxtail or stickers which was great. Plenty of parking, easy to find. rog e.

55Another wonderful visit !! This is always our favourite sniffspot to book because of the beautiful trail amidst all the trees and nature!
Our dog is slightly reactive of other dogs and some people so we do find it difficult to do public hikes or trails, so this sniffspot is the perfect opportunity for us to get to explore with her with the peace of mind that we won’t need to cross paths with anyone
Can’t wait to come back 😊 (ps. The leaves were absolutely beautiful this time of year!!)Stefania D.

FAQ about our Hamilton 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 Hamilton?
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.
