55Wow! This sniffspot was absolutely amazing and so beautiful. We saw seals!!!!
The host was great at communicating and SO friendly! (She was also understanding when my over excited dog jumped out of the window to greet her!🤦♀️)
So much space and so many options for your dogs- water, fields, mud, grass, birds you name it! We felt secure the whole time and the dogs were in absolute heaven! (Frank loved all the gopher holes to smell!) Highly recommend and we will be back!Summer B.

55This is by far the BEST sniff spot I’ve ever been to! Jessica and her husband were so helpful and kind when they showed us around the property. Our dog had an absolute BLAST! I’d recommend booking a few hours- we took an hour for the field side and an hour for the river side, and it was perfect. We will 200% be back! Elise D.

55This is by far our favorite sniffspot so far. Our dogs love the marshy grass, the muddy corn field and the cow sightings off in the distance. Jessica is extremely kind and will meet you on your first visit. This was our second visit to her land. I highly recommend it for your pups!Danna N.

55This is a huge area with an excellent variety of sniffs (grass, river front, fields...). Jessica is excellent at communicating throughout the process and we will be coming back to explore more. One thing I wish I had known in advance is hunting season activity hours as the sounds of gunshots in the distance did affect our dogs' ability to fully enjoy the experience. Nobody's fault, just a detail our particular dogs are sensitive to. We shall come back at a different time because this is a fabulous sniff spot. Joanna M.

55What a great sniffspot. Dogs had a blast running wild jumping cornfield stock lanes and jumping in the marshes. Cow watching also became a thing. Your dog's will need great off leash recall. Not for the cows but more for those who might want to wander towards the road. Also, if you come in January, be mindful of hunting season as the sound of nearby gunshots might affect your dog's experience. That being said, even my gun shy dog enjoyed himself. My lab loved all of it but definitely liked the river access most and found the biggest stick to fetch. I found the swing set. Mum set 😂. Bring boots for the mudd in winter & leashes for crossing the road. Jessica was super nice and showed us around on our first visit. Definitely coming backInes D.

55Amazing hosts, fantastic property, just as expected. Our dog is still working on recall but this place is so huge we weren’t worried about her being unsafe. It gave us a good idea about where she is with her training. The flat open corn field was very muddy; boots are a must. We really enjoyed the wetland areas and wildlife. Nearby livestock was safely guarded behind fencing that clearly defined the property line. We stayed on the farm side of the road. Next time we’re looking forward to exploring the river side. This place is a gem!!Amelia L.

55We come once a week. We can't get enough of this fabulous space. This was our first week in the field, we've been enjoying the river, even with the water up, we've had some great adventure. Our dog is an apartment dog and reactive, this is our chance for freedom and exploration and it's wonderful. I'm actually happy about the exposure to the gunshots because he's fearful of noises, but he seems to be adjusting and that makes me happy for him. Be prepared for muddy fun, I've gone home just as muddy as the dog. Hosts are really wonderful, great at communication, generous with their space and put in a rope to hold as you walk down the bank to the river. So grateful for this space.Cassie R.

55We had a blast! This was our very first Snifspot visit and the experience could not have been better. Jessica and Curtis met us and showed us the boundaries of our "spot". They were so friendly and answered all of our questions. We spent the next hour with our puppy racing through acres of fields. The setting is beautiful. We definitely will book again! chris s.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was amazing! Jess and her partner are super kind and helpful. The fields were fun - my pup loved playing frisbee and hopping over the cut corn stalks. He especially loved diving into all of the ponds. The neighbor's cattle were out and about and it made for a great training opportunity! We didn't explore too much of the river side, will definitely be back to check out the campsite! All in all, a fantastic place for pups!Amber M.

55One of our favorite spots. It's so nice being able to take 2 very different dogs to a place that has everything to satisfy both of their needs and wants! Space to run, things to sniff, water, you name it! And such a great peace of mind for mom to just walk the property and know we are safe! Summer B.

55Such a great place! My dog isn’t a swimmer but the field here is wonderful! The corn stalks were great obstacles and there was so much space to explore and play fetch in. The area over by the river was mowed and easy to navigate. We loved our time here and he didn’t even get too muddy despite it being January! Great hosts, beautiful spot, will definitely be back.

FAQ about our Cathlamet 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 Cathlamet?
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.
