55I can't say enough good things about this spot! The water is clean, easy to walk in for the dogs and plenty of freedom. I like the security of the gate for arrival & departure. Dogs had a blast!Tom & Patty A.

55We had a great time at this spot, considering how hot of a day it was! I brought shade and a swimsuit though, so it was nice. Waylon thoroughly enjoyed the hike around the peninsula and swimming in the water. The only caution I can give is to be mindful of your dogs paws. The shoreline is pretty rough so it might be an issue with some dogs if they're not used to it. We had no problems with it though, and will very likely visit again.Patrick H.

55Awesome place. Tons of room to run around. I would definitely bring some good shoes for both you and your dog though. Glad i read the reviews first bc they weren't kidding about the shells and sticks and rocks being rough on the shore. Glad I brought shoes because my pup was having an absolute blast and i didn't need to worry much about his feet with shoes on. Also - if your dog likes sticks... good luck. Mine LOVES sticks and was going absolutely crazy bc there were sticks and branches EVERYWHERE.Sydney D.

55Great place to give your puppies run free. Nice shady trails and water access. 👍❤️Unfortunately, lake water level dropped drastically and sharp rocks and shells came up. Just be careful yourself and keep eyes on your puppies. Olga D.

55Had a great time. Even though the lake is very low, water access was still easy and beautiful! The dogs LOVED being able to roam with so much space and water! Second time there and it was so lovely each time, will be coming back soon! Noelle F.

55It was good, as usual. It was a group of people fishing, so just make sure your dog is friendly and can handle it 😁
My dog first time realized she can swim🤣 Olga D.

55Awesome experience! ❤️ I have a little Yorkie who is reactive to other dogs and I want to train him recall when off leash. Sooo much awesome space to explore with many different trails! We were lost for a little while looking for the entrance until we saw the “sniffspot” sign! We got in the gate and kept going straight for a little while (taking a right at the first split) and we could get pretty close to the lake. It was very pretty and clean. Little slippery getting inside the lake cause the algae and I was scared to get in the water because of all the old trees sticking out from the water but I did and I was fine! No dogs in sight only people in sight were out fishing on boats or jet skiing in the lake! Not bothered at all! We brought nice thick blankets to relax on as it was pretty hard/rocky by the lake where we were. Had a picnic and cleaned up. Host was very fast to respond to messages and was kind. *IF YOU HAVE A DOG WITH FLUFFY OR LONG ENOUGH HAIR TO GET STICKERS STUCK IN IT* Come prepared! My mistake! BRING BUG SPRAY!!! and LOTS of water! WEAR GOOD SHOES! I stepped on a sharp rusted sharp thing and it was so close to stabbing my foot, luckily it didn’t. Will definitely book again! ❤️ Love it!

55Such a great spot! Follow Kevin’s directions he sends the day of for easy finding. So much to smell and see- my girl had a blast! Plenty of room to run & swim with no distractions. Thanks Kevin helping me when I got lost & going above and beyond to enjoy we had a great time! If we didn’t live so far I’d book weekly! Sydney S.

55Be sure to follow the host’s instructions to find the entrance! I also recommend taking the first left after the entry gate to access the lake area. Our dogs had SO much fun and were exhausted afterward. We look forward to coming back soon. Isabelle V.

55We had a lovely time and our three dogs enjoyed being off leash and exploring both land and water! We set up a couple of chairs and a blanket under a canopy of ash juniper trees when we needed a break and it was shaded, cool, and quiet (except for the calls of birds which is always welcome:)).Emily e.

FAQ about our Canyon Lake dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Canyon Lake?
There are 27 dog fields in the Canyon Lake area. The most popular dog field is BIG open space next to the lake.. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Canyon Lake area range from $10.0 and $10.0. The least expensive dog field is BIG open space next to the lake.. The most expensive dog field is BIG open space next to the lake.. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
