55Great spot and loved the lake access. My only complaint is parking is kind of difficult. Other than that, my dogs had tons of fun playing in the water!Elisabeth A.

55Love this spot. Great big yard. Fully fenced. They had lake access so doggo could get a little water time. They had some tennis balls in the yard and water bowls. Easy access. My only complaint is I wish I had a little more communication on where to park!Teresa P.

55We love this spot! My dog and I had so much fun and got to enjoy the nice sunny day. Host replied quickly to inquiry. No parking issue. Parked off street next to the garbage bins. Yard is clean and well maintained. There’s plenty of room to play fetch. My dog loves the water so that is a big bonus. Thank you Tom and Debbie for sharing your space. Will definitely visit again.

55This is the best thing to exist ever! Our dogs are absolutely dead from all the swimming. It’s a beautiful view and the hosts are amazing! I would go every day if I could. Thank you so much! Mollie T.

55Great spot! Water access has a gate for safety, and fence between neighbors yards continues into the water a bit which was a great visual cue for my dog to stay in our space.

55awesome spot! i will bring the long line next time as my pup was so excited to wade in the water :) just a note if your dog is highly sensitive to sound or reactive, there are close neighbors - it wasn't any issue but my dog is just super sound sensitive and there were kids jumping on a trampoline. we stayed on leash because of that but we loved it anyway!! we'll be back!

55This is now in our top 3 sniffspots, if not number 1. I have never seen my dogs have more fun than they did leaping through the lake water. The spot was clearly marked and secure. The yard was very clean and spacious. We will be back all summer! Chelsie M.

55For Fitz this spot was great, however the listing is a little incomplete. You can definitely see and hear other dogs and people and I’m about 99% sure my dog was trying to check out some chickens? Lol. For us, it was great, but for others with reactive dogs I would use a little caution. Brittany J.

55This spot is incredible! Only thing to be aware of is that there is a gate on one side of the fence. My dogs enjoyed both the yard and the lake. It was absolutely gorgeous out and the best part is, it’s close to my house! We will definitely be back soon!Jenna H.

55We had a great visit! The beach is fenced off from the main yard, which was nice when we were getting ready to go and didn’t want the dogs running back into the water at the last minute. The beach slopes gently, so dogs who’d rather wade than swim will still have fun. I wouldn’t recommend letting your pup take a running leap off the dock - the surface doesn’t have much grip, so a big jump could lead to injury. We’ll definitely be back!Malia P.

55My dog had a blast here. Our visit coincided with a hot sunny day & it was perfect for her to get in the water to swim. There was plenty of room to run around, but she was most excited to get in the lake and dog paddle around lily pads.
Being such a beautiful day, there were some people out on the water a distance away. Just something to be aware of if your dog is sensitive to sound since it carries across the water so well.
When I reached out to the hosts with a question about parking, they were quick to respond with details that made our arrival smooth.
Would book this spot again in the future.Adia D.

55This is a great spot - nice big grassy area to run around, the lake access is fenced off so you can use it or not, and there is dock and pebbly beach access to the water (minimal mud, yay!). Be cautious on the dock, it's a little slippery and my very excited border collies all slid the first couple of times until they got the hang of it! I'd happily come back for another visit, hopefully when it isn't raining on me!
Dock divers - despite my hopes, this is unfortunately not great for practicing dock diving. The dock is made of composite decking and is pretty slippery for dog claws, and my dogs slipped even when jumping from a stop at the end of the dock. I would not want them running on it for a typical dock diving jump.Joy A.

55Our dogs had a blast! Having a safe spot to swim with reactive dogs is so great! It was overcast when we went, so on a sunny day I’m not sure how many dogs would be out around the neighbors houses (if any). We luckily didn’t see any during the hour there. Huge yard to play fetch when we weren’t swimming. Definitely plan on coming back! 😊💗

55This Sniffspot is AMAZING!!! Lots of room to play in and out of the water! I love that you can close access to the water. It was great for letting the pup dry off before heading home. Would have loved a place to put my dogs poop though! Krista W.

55Loved this place, we got lucky and visited on the perfect weather day! I will have to put it off until my dog is a little better with his reactivity, there was a good amount of audible stimulus with neighboring dogs and he was starting to get a little stressed. However, my dog got to learn how to swim in a clean, safe space, which adds to building his confidence. Looking forward to coming back when my dog is better suited for the spot. Awesome bird watching too.Paige K.

FAQ about our Indianola 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 Indianola?
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.
