25Unfortunately someone had chosen to change a baby diaper on a rock near the creek and one of my dogs rolled in the mess. Quite rugged and probably a poor time of year for the creek. Virginia C.
55My dogs had a blast! It was easy to find using the provided directions. The "sign" with the address was an A-frame/construction looking sign so I wasn't sure at first but I saw the cones and knew I'd made it! We followed the creek bed to the left and with a short walk, made it to the beach area with deeper water. There were a few left behind dog droppings but that isn't the SniffSpot's fault, it's the owner's responsibility to pick up after their dog. Rebecca W.
35Misleading signage. Looked for the address for 15 minutes with no luck so I'm not sure I was in the right location. If I was in the right location both my dog and I came home with hundreds of burrs. I did see the spot with the cones so I went down that way hoping I wasn't trespassing. This seems like a good place for water fun, when there's a bit more water in the creek, and hiking. Meghan T.
15Can’t review couldn’t find it. No address turned off Mark West onto Leslie Porter Creek went up Leslie quarter mile long road was like a mind field human in my pick up ended at another address turned around came back down stopped at locked gate walked back found what looks like an abandoned home. Nothing there walk back out and left no addresses anywhere. No one around.Gary G.
55It’s a great spot for a dip in the river. My three dogs had a blast splashing around.Misty S.
55Host communicated well. Spot was as described. Would visit again.Trevor H.
15I sent a DM to ask about trails, and also the prevalence of fox tails and poison oak and was told there's plenty of water still in the creek, but in fact it is only standing water among the rocks this time of year. There was a quasi-fire road that was absolutely covered in foxtails. I booked an hour and a 1/2 thinking there would be much romping, and it ended up leaving after about 20 minutes. I can see that this would be wonderful in winter and spring, but the owners should not falsely advertise this as a good place for dogs unless they do some upkeep or get clearerin their messaging. Ironically, they charge more than any other sniff spot I have been to in the area.Shelly S.
55This spot was great! We wanted a place to cool off and tire out our pups on a hot day, and mission was acomplished!accomplished!Katherine M.
55It's a great spot to let your pets roam around off-leash and explore real nature!! It was a nice little creek with a lake; the dogs thought it was heaven. I highly recommend it, and it is a 10-minute drive from where we live in Santa Rosa. Kira L.
35I have a very reactive and anxious dog so I rely heavily on the information provided by the host to be accurate to make sure the spot is appropriate for us.
The host said that she would meet me to show me around so that we would not run into any neighbor's dogs. I usually dont want to meet with the host because this is stressful f my dog but I agreed to do it to make sure I knew where I was going. Unfortunately the host did not show up. There were also people working on the road right at the entrance to the property. I has specifically asked if we would see people or dogs, as I want to avoid this on a visit.
There is a dirt road that is around 1/4 mile long that we waled out and back. If we went anywhere else there would have been foxtails, burrs, or poison oak. Iwas not up for that today. Perhaps in the winter the off trail nature of this sniff spot will be more appealing.
