55The owner met us when we arrived to show us all the areas we can explore. We had farm & water access. It was perfect! We’ll be back, and next time we’ll bring lunch to enjoy the picnic area! Sheila B.

55Lovely property and delightful owners. She came and met us to tell us about the property. We didn’t make it to the river side of things bc my kids were worried about the steep climb down to the path. There’s usually a guide-rope, but the county must have removed it so we just enjoyed the other space/field and the dog/kids had a great time. Will be back for sure!! Lena S.

55NEW FAVE! So many different spots to enjoy and explore. Great field for sprinting and fetch. Super walkable and clean/safe beachfront 🤩 Shaded picnic tables and campsites for rest from the sun. And still so much more to discover! Friendly, helpful, and professional owner. Best experience yet!Ashtyn B.

55Great space! Something for every dog. But do keep in mind there is very little shade in the larger area. Also, this time of year (late summer) there is some sort of prickly weed growing in a few places. It's easy to navigate around but it caught me and my dogs off guard. Hannah M.

55So amazing to be able to take my reactive dog somewhere close by! He had his first beach zoomies, and it was so special to be able to see him really relax!
FYI We could hear a couple dogs barking from the house boats on the other side of the water, and we could see people on the boats/kayaks going by. All were pretty far away, except for 1 kayaker who was close to the shore for a bit.Kira M.

55We are regulars to this spot and recently have appreciated how communicative the host has been around algae blooms and related dog safety. When in doubt we stick to the farm side and let the pups sniff, run, and wander. There is the occasional grassy patch with thorny plants, but they are easily avoided when attentive. This is our go-to Sniffspot. Karen H.

55First time today! Lots of options for Bucky and me: river for playing and acting goofy, wide open spaces for running and getting tired, and a two-mile trail for circumnavigating the property (next time we’ll go the distance). Note that access to the river means climbing down a rocky and steep path if that’s a concern for you. Nice people, too! Pamela P.

55Beautiful area, huge open field for the pup to romp in and a 3/4 mile stretch of river access. Jessica was super friendly and informative. Our dog wasn’t able to swim due to the algae issue but we plan to be back soon to try that out also.Debi A.

55This is an amazing place for dogs that really like to run and cover ground. My three could not have been happier. With plenty of room to stretch out, run and explore, plus the bonus of being able to cool off with a swim — I can’t imagine a better place. The picnic table under a tree in the shade was lovely. Thank you Jessica for opening up your land to our dogs. I can’t wait to come back again!Catherine K.

55Awesome spot to chill by the river, let the dog play. Fun swing too! Tide was on its way out so be careful it can be muddy and silty, but its all good. My pup loves the water, he was all in immediately. Owners are super helpful. Thanks for sharing!CS L.

FAQ about our Kalama 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 Kalama?
There are 21 dog water parks in the Kalama area. The most popular dog water park is Nature in the City Private Dog Park. You can browse all of our dog water parks here.
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.
