55Such a great trail system for my dog reactive boy. He was able to relax and get plenty of sniffs in and even cool down in the creek. Pack bug spray though!Jamie O.

55Magical fairyland. This spot is super nice. Extremely organized, with clear signage, parking, instructions, etc. The dogs absolutely loved exploring the trails and splashing in the water. The humans thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and watching the dogs have fun.
They even have eggs and plant starts available for purchase. We bought some eggs, and after trying them, we never want to go back to grocery store eggs.
If you're planning a trip here, just be aware that the trails are on a hillside, so wear shoes appropriate for walking up and down some relatively steep inclines.
We want to send our heartfelt thanks to our hosts for sharing their beautiful spot with others through SniffSpot. We're so grateful we got to visit!Jennifer M.

55We had such a good time! One of our dogs is reactive so he doesn’t get much time out on public trails, so this was such an amazing option to explore. Will be coming back for sure :)Erin C.

55This just became our top spot for a small hike. My German shepherd had such a blast going up and down the trails. The trails are short but for how steep they are it’s perfect. If you have a reactive pup this is definitely the spot for a hike and for your pup to enjoy some nature time. 11/10. Gisell A.

55Beautiful wooded area with cool shade for comfortable hiking on a warm afternoon. The trails definitely gave us and our pups a work out - steep, but fairly well maintained and clearly marked. Next time we'll plan better and have water/snacks with us and take a rest break at one of the many benches.Susan A.

55Great quiet spot that feels like you’re hiking on a maintained trail system. Dry today, but if it was during rainy season I could see it being slippery! Our dogs absolutely loved it and we loved the lookout point. They take great care to make this a top Sniffspot. Renae M.

55The mud was epic (we love it). If you don't wanna go down red trail, try yellow trail and then cutting across if you still want to get to the stream. You can check out the fort and take refuge from the downpours there (forecast looking 🌧 for at least another week).Ines D.

55Such a lovey location hidden in the hills! The paths to walk are clearly marked with pink and boundaries with white.
Once away from the parking area I felt comfortable letting my dog off leash. He loved the stream and mud and hiking around. Perfect for a little hike and fetch off leash in a beautiful wooded area.
Thank you so much for sharing your land with dogs like Clifford. Ami K.

55Great spot in many ways! Beautiful, lush forest setting. Very clearly marked with helpful signage. Super clean. Nice view and even a creek. The trails are a little on the steep side (not a negative, just something to be aware of), so make sure you're up for a little bit of elevation loss/gain. My pup and I had a fantastic time!Devin B.

FAQ about our Tillamook 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 Tillamook?
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.
