It’s such a delight to spend time in Grace’s forest! To have the opportunity to be in the woods,in a place that is secure and so welcoming, is something to be very grateful for.
55Grace was so sweet and kind! The property was wonderful and our dogs had a blast! The hills were a bit of a hoof, and it was definitely a hike, but nothing we didn’t expect with a name like “Hike up the mini forest.” ;P
Our dogs LOVED all the running water throughout the property, especially by the gate. What a wonderful place to visit during the warmer months! Thinking about it, I bet you could get some pretty epic sledding down that big hill in the winter!
Grace met us at the gate and walked us through everything for our first time. There was a basket that included toys, bug spray, and more, which was so appreciated! We were so surprised to see two little baggies of treats (both for humans and dogs) at the gate on our way out. What a treat!
We’ll definitely be back!Noël H.

55We had the best time at the Mini-Forest! It's a wonderful area to hike around and there are some more open spots to play. There were water bowls, poop bags, bug spray (we didn't need it but I bet the bugs will come with warmer weather), and toys. There were even some foam hoops to jump through!
Everything is well-signed. The host greeted us on arrival and said goodbye on our way out. She was so nice! We could hear her pups barking in the house only when we were at our car. We saw goats, but they are well fenced in. We heard some dogs barking and a rooster crowing in the far off distance.
This was our first experience at a Sniff Spot and we feel so spoiled. What a special place :) We will definitely be coming back (we're already booked)!Anna A.

55Me and my pups LOVED this amazing place. Grace is the best host we’ve encountered, she sure makes you feel welcomed. The place is gorgeous, with trails and lots of areas for dogs to sniff around. The small river was a hit for our pups, I used to say my dog is not a water dog and she didn’t want to get out! I strongly recommend this amazing place. Alejandra F.

55I have visited many Sniffspots - this one is a can’t miss, super easy mini road trip, and fun for both dogs and their people! We enjoyed a 90 minute visit but could have happily enjoyed walking the trails or lounging in the seating areas all day. Can’t wait to visit again. Super great trails, not nearly as muddy as expected for Spring, neat to see the cabins and all the great host set ups that make this space great for dogs - agility, sniffs, toys, water, tree stumps, creek! Seriously had such a fun time. Thank you for being a wonderful host! Fully fenced and secure for our lil escape artists. Will be back!! Nikki T.

55Love this place, a lot of personalized details made me and Beemo feel extra welcome. The place is very easy to find w/ clear directions, and once you arrive the property itself is spacious, quiet, and private with lots of paths in the woods. Beemo and I had plenty of sticks to play fetch with, which made 90 minutes fly by. Will be back again. Samuel F.

FAQ about our Oak Harbor 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 Oak Harbor?
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.
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. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
