55We had a blast here! We’ve never been able to experience off leash hiking with our dogs and it was so fun being able to see them run around knowing they were safe and having so much fun! One of the best Sniffspots I’ve ever been to Brittney B.

55Our dog had the best time!! So many zoomies and so much fun running after her ball in the stream. The humans had a picnic and a great time too! Recommend hiking shoes and water shoes if you’re worried about slipping but neither are necessary. Loved it!Crystal B.

55I booked this Sniffspot maybe an hour before the time and headed there. You don’t really get service when you get closer to the place so make sure you text the host before hand for location and access info. The host is soooo nice and helpful and wanted to make sure you have all the info to have a good time! Her son met me at the entrance to give me a run through of the location too! 10/10 recommend! I went during sunset hour and it was beautiful! My dog loved it!!! There are uphills and downhills so just bring appropriate shoes. Michelle M.

55This property was a DREAM for a reactive dog like our girl. Josie is a 5 year old super excitable collie/pit mix who sometimes has a hard time making friends at a typical dog park, so that’s when we started looking for an alternative for her to explore and found this gem of a spot. Josie was not only able to be off leash, but we were also able to relax and let her explore without a worry! The owners were super responsive and gave us very detailed instructions on how to navigate the trails without a problem! After 2 hours exploring the stream hike, Josie was exhausted and ready to head home! We had the best time & will definitely be back 🥰

55We had some difficulty finding the place, but Alma was very kind and helpful in guiding us there. The trail down to the creek was challenging due to some steep, slippery and rough slopes, but there was lots of shade from the avocado trees lining the hillsides that helped keep us cool. There were also some forks in the trail as it is a working ranch, but they had some helpful signs along the way that helped direct us on the right path. Down by the creek, they have several seating options for you to lounge while your dogs play, and there was even a picknick table. This was well worth the trip, and the privacy was outstanding!Kyle J.

55We had a great day! It was our reactive pupper’s birthday and we wanted to let him explore and play somewhere we didnt have to worry about people making him anxious and it was perfect! He loved getting free reign of the trails and the stream was the highlight of his life!! Chasing lizards and frogs and splashing around for hours! The humans had a lovely day too! The creek is a perfect, cool, little spot to relax and enjoy being outside. Thank you for letting us enjoy your little oasis for a day.Amy K.

55This is a wonderful property and David & Alma couldn't have been any nicer. My land navigation skills aren't the best so I gave myself a little extra time to find it but the maps and directions Alma sent me were so helpful. I had the pleasure of meeting David when I arrived and he pointed me in the direction for the stream hike.
My boxer used to hike off-leash in Hawaii but we haven't found many hikes in CA (until now) where he could be off-leash, so he was one happy boy! I kept my other dog on a longline since she doesn't have a good recall. We spent the whole time at the little beach next to the stream because they were enjoying the water so much. It was a great spot to sit in the chairs and eat lunch while I tossed a ball to my dogs.
The hike back to the car was a steep one and I'm not sure who was more tired at the end of it all, me or my dogs. They say a tired dog is a happy dog. Tired or not, we all enjoyed our day very much! Thank you to David & Alma for making their ranch available to us through Sniffspot and for being such gracious hosts! Becky S.

55David and Alma gave really clear directions so getting there was a breeze. The trails were clean and the views were gorgeous. Our pups enjoyed the creek, picked up sticks and ran around freely. I think the different trails can use a little more signage, but it wasn’t anything that took away from the experience (Alma also provided a very clear play by play of how to get to the creek). Overall 10/10! Karina B.

FAQ about our Canyon Lake dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Canyon Lake area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 367 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 40 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Sniffspot has 367 fully fenced dog parks in or near Canyon Lake. Browse all fully enclosed options.
