55Great property with plenty of space. I wouldn't recommend it for reactive or fearful dogs as there are multiple people on the property and kenneled dogs. Nichole X.

55This was awesome! Our dog had an absolute blast and literally couldn’t jump back into the car because she swam and ran so much. We will be back soon! Savannah D.

55This was my first sniff spot and it was absolutely wonderful. The directions to get there and where to park were very helpful. Mine and my friends dog had a blast. It was enough space for us to start out doing some long line work with them before we let them off leash. They enjoyed swimming in the water. There was also plenty of areas to sit and relax. The host was nice enough to leave out towels, so you could rinse off your dog if you needed to if they got in the pond. It was completely fenced off however there are definitely people on the property walking around. There weren’t a ton, but just something to note. Melanie A.

55Cool space! Lots of things for the dogs to explore and space to roam. I wasn't expecting there to be so many people roaming around and places for my dogs to get into like open trailers and tents, so I had to keep a close eye on them. We weren't bothered by all the people, just didn't realize that would be the case! Fun time!Keira M.

55It was so great to be able to take our dogs and just wander around safely. Our younger one can be relatively anxious, and this was such an enjoyable, relaxing encounter. He loved swimming in the pond!Gus & Kim T.

55This is a beautiful spot to take your dog. There is a lot to do and to see. There is a path around the pond that allows for walking and running, and multiple docks to play on. There were multiple other people there while we visited, so make sure your dog is not person reactive. Definitely a must visit Sniffspot! Christine W.

55this place was AWESOME! it’s essentially a big pond with docks and a trail around it. there was a bunch of unique areas to sit and relax. probably my favorite sniff spot so far. you could hear other dogs barking but could not see them. there were also a few other people on the property but my dog didn’t pay much attention to them as he was focused on all the fish and birds flying around. he did greet one of the people and they were super friendly about it. this place is definitely a hidden gem. will be coming back in the future with some friends!

55Nice loop around the pond and a small grassy area if your dog prefers that. Me and my dog did about 5 walks around, but he had a lot to sniff! There are water bowls around and a water hose to fill if needed.
There were people fishing on the property as was expected as there is an AirBNB.Varinda T.

55Have been here several times. Occasionally there are dogs being walked outside the property that are visible, so I do have to leash rarely if I’m worried my dog will run toward the fence and bark at them. There are also dogs on the property put away but you can hear them barking. So if your dog is reactive to those things, this is not a place for you.
However, we love it. It is a big place to run around and my dog tuckers out before the hour is up! I enjoy just sitting and looking at the water and wild birds. It’s like having a private park. We will continue coming here! Mina S.

55Great for dogs who love water! It’s a large Sniffspot, although a majority of it is lake. Entry was easy as described and the space was great for my pup to run around in. Nicole N.

55Instructions were clear and the location was easy to find. Once we got in, we had the entire lot to ourselves and our dogs loved walking around and smelling all the smells :) they both accidentally ended up in the water as my chihuahua had never seen lilly pads before and probably thought they could support her weight as she jumped on them... *Spoilers* They could not Haha
My big girl chased some ducks into the pond and my husband and I relaxed on the swings.
Thank you! We'll for sure be visiting again!Belkis G.

FAQ about our Poway 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.

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?
