55Great space, on the smaller side of sniff spots we’ve used, but it was enough for us to play fetch without worry. Lots of toys available, water dish, towels, and chairs. There was a neighbor’s dog barking a bit while we were there. It didn’t bother our dog, but it may another visiting dog so wanted to mention the possibilty. The fencing felt secure. I was glad it was on the taller side and you couldn’t see through so there were no visual distractions. Overall we were happy, pup was happy and we will likely book again! Next time hopefully with some add ons. Kelly S.

55a peaceful and quiet place for my reactive pup, with great views for the humans too! the view is even more beautiful than the photos. agree with all the suggestions for water shoes, we were very happy to have them to lead our dog into the water. luckily, there was a long-lead to borrow, but it would be wise to bring your own lead and gear because there is plenty of space and varied terrain for the pup to sniff and explore. we would have been sad to not have a long-lead.

55Went this morning, was our first time going to a sniff spot and this one is awesome right on the water. Scarlet loved smelling everything and playing in the water. And the owner was super helpful with a bit of confusion I had finding it at first.
Will definitely be coming back!Madison C.

55Rented this spot for my dog reactive dog, so that we could do a test run in my kayak and not have to worry about other dogs. It was so private and quiet, just what we needed.
I found taking the narrow path/rocks down to the water, rather than the stairs, was actually easier. The water level was high so not much beach but it still worked out well. She actually did some real swimming which she doesn’t normally do. Plenty of room to get the kayak in and out, too.
Highly recommend and we’ll be back again! Kimberly C.

55My two labs had a great time swimming and exploring the waterfront property today. There’s easy access to the water and as others stated, the last few stairs from the deck are steep, but my dogs and I took the path adjacent to the stairs and it was no problem at all. You definitely need water shoes if you plan to go into the water, as stated in the listing. The pond was pretty full, so not much of a beach but my dogs were there primarily to swim so they didn’t mind at all. The road into the property is what you’d expect for a rustic camp in the woods: narrow with some ruts and muddy spots. I did chuckle to myself while driving down the dirt road, thinking what won’t I do for my dogs? A sedan would definitely struggle on that road, but my Subaru did just fine. My girls loved their own private water access. They swam for an hour & half straight, and passed out on the drive home. My girls love swimming and live for retrieving, especially my youngest pup, and it was so relaxing and much less stressful letting them just swim and not feel like I need to constantly look over my shoulder, worrying that other dogs or people might show up any time. Well worth the money for that peace of mind and to seer my dogs enjoy themselves so much. Jess A.

55Such a nice spot! I did at one point think to myself “SURELY I missed the turn to the camp” because it’s a longer road than I thought but right after that I got there - so don’t lose hope! 😂 there was a neighbor with an off leash dog on their dock but it stayed over in its area and wasn’t concerned w us at all so my reactive boy still had plenty of space to do his thing. Mjae was super communicative too!Jess G.

55The description of this spot is spot on. The lake is great and we had lots of fun. Sitting at the picnic while your dog plays in the water on a 90 degree day is such a dream. My dog is reactive and this spot gave us a quiet place to play.Monica Z.

55Such a great place! The water was very easy to access and was the perfect temperature. There is ample space for dogs to run and there is a good sized shallow area for pups who don’t like to go in past their knees. Highly recommend:)Amara T.

55What a perfect little spot! The last part of the road is bumpy but once you get there it’s easy parking and easy access to the water (except the last step but even my 5yr old was fine). The water was so refreshing and my dog swam for a full 2 HOURS! There is also a picnic table and deck to use which was nice for the lunch we brought. We will 100% be back! Thank you! Carrie H.

55Wonderful spot! My dog loved it. I should’ve worn better shoes to navigate the rocks (not flip flops), but that is on me. The hosts instructions were clear and it was a great area for my pup to swim and play!Batten R.

FAQ About Lewiston 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.
