55This spot was great for our pup. It was mostly shaded which was nice on a hot/humid day. Our Evie loved swimming in the pond. And relaxing on the dock. Kelsey G.

55What a wonderful time! Our host was communicative and kind. We very much appreciated the bug spray, chairs, and water toys. We had so much fun on the paddle boat, and Shadow had a blast swimming and running the shoreline. We can’t wait to come back! Gabrielle J.

55We absolutely loved our visit! Sometimes it’s hard to find a Sniffspot with a great river for the dogs to swim in alone from other traffic. Very clean and super fun! We will definitely come back!☺️alexis s.

55This was our first visit and it did not disappoint! Beautiful, peaceful spot. It is very private and we didn’t see or hear any other people. We heard what sounded like several hunting dogs and chickens in the distance, but we didn’t see them. The host is friendly and messaged me ahead of time to let me know about parking, etc. The spot is clearly labeled and there are water toys and a trash can near the entrance. I highly recommend adding the floating dock if your dogs can already swim (it’s easy to fall off & hard to get back on). The dogs had to much fun bouncing around on it and jumping back and forth between the stationary & floating docks. Also lots to sniff and room to explore. Kim L.

55LOVED this spot! Definitely our favorite sniffspot so far. It’s very quiet; didn’t see/ hear any other dogs or people. Our dog really enjoyed swimming in the pond. There’s a nice dock to sit on and Lamar had chairs, bug spray, and a hose which was greatly appreciated!! The host was so kind and communicative and even let my boyfriend fish in the pond and had boats to use! We can’t wait to come back!Brittany N.

55We had a fantastic time. We walked the trails, and the girls swam. I asked for a floating dock with the anticipation of swimming with my dogs, but the water was a bit too chilly for me. And it was a gorgeous 1 1/2 hours there. We will definitely be back!Heather R.

55Excellent Sniffspot with an excellent host! Lamar was communicative and super accommodating. I lost cellphone service on the drive there, and got a little lost which resulted in arriving to the Sniffspot late. Lamar was so kind and offered to let us stay past our scheduled time. Lamar also left the floating dock out for us, which was great because my dogs have never been on a floating dock before and seemed to enjoy hoping on it. Will definitely be returning for future visits!Marin B.

FAQ about our Mechanicsville 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.

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.

How can I find the best dog water parks in Mechanicsville?
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.
