55What a fantastic Sniff Spot!! Halo and Jake had so much fun running around and checking out the property! Jake waded in the stream even though it’s mid-November. The decorations are amazing - Halo was even barking at a witch, and she never gets scared! 🤣 There is so much to do here! We’ll be back!! Peggie H.

55We loved this spot, particularly because of the creek! Beautifully soft towels for drying off afterwards! Loved the little Christmas treat bag! Host was very friendly and helpful.
As noted in the information, there are a few places where a determined dog could get through to the neighbours property - fortunately my dog was being super well behaved as there were so many other interesting things to do! Lots of toys, drinking water, hose and shampoo etc for cleaning after of needed. But water in creek very clean so not needed this time! Julie B.

55Such a nice place to let your dogs roam off leash, was private and had a nice little stream for our dog to play in. Our dog Enzo is dog reactive and doesn’t really care for strangers, so it was an excellent place for him to go and play off leash Suzanna W.

55We took Halo and Jake here on a beautiful day in March. They swam in the creek, chased sticks and loved running around the property smelling everything. I love that this spot has a little indoor area for drying off the dogs. There are also lots of toys in the room. (Jake found them at the end of the trip and tried to swipe one!) It is more expensive than the others, but it’s special treat to access the beautiful creek with no other dogs.Peggie H.

55Such a unique beautiful spot! The host puts so much extra effort into making it nice for you and your pups and it shows. Unlimited amounts of toys for them to play with, treats, different size life jackets, and so much more. The creek is mostly shallow with the middle deep enough for swimming. Also lots of area away from the water to run and play. My dog had the best time and we’ll def be back!Amanda P.

55Doggy Disneyland! This is an AMAZING summer spot! We spent almost the entire hour in the water, walking up and down the creek. I was throwing sticks for them until Jake came across a toy that someone left for him, which held onto it until the end.I tried putting them on the paddleboard, but we’ll need to practice with that. The sandy beach was also great! I left my water bottle there, so we have to go back, darn! 🤣Peggie H.

The spot was as featured , very beautiful , the host has everything you would need ! I have to say is also great for people to enjoy while your dog runs around ! Would definitely return !Teresa C.

55This place was amazing! I have 5 dogs and it's hard to find a place with some privacy to do some group recall training and splash around. The host supplies anything you could need to hang out by the water and relax with the doggos without worrying about someone coming up on you and scaring the dogs if they are reactive, like mine are. We'll definitely be back!BRANDI M.

55What an amazing Sniffspot with a private little beachy area and also an area for the dogs to sniff and run around. The area was clean with lots of shade and we didn't have to worry about foxtails. Tanya really put a lot of care into making this a fun, safe place for dogs. We have a reactive dog with poor recall and still had a lot of fun on a harness and long line - jumping in and out of the water and getting our zoomies out. We will definitely be back. It was such a great summer morning retreat 😀Jaime R.

55What a fabulous spot! My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. I was a little nervous before coming that the place isn’t entirely fenced in, but my concern completely dissipated once we were arrived. I found an hour to be a little too short, and next time will be booking more time!Miriam B.

55This was our first SniffSpot adventure and it was incredible. This was a perfect spot for our mini Aussie. She got to try paddle boarding and swimming in the creek. She loved running in the sand and playing in the water. She slept the hour ride home. Definitely a spot we will come back to. Jason H.

FAQ about our Penn Valley 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 Penn Valley?
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.

Dog water parks in the Penn Valley area range from $6.0 and $6.0. The least expensive dog water park is Place to run your dog. The most expensive dog water park is Place to run your dog. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
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?
