55Wonderful experience!! The spot was super easy to find, just follow the signs that say ramp 5. We went pretty early and didn’t encounter anyone. Right before we were about to leave, we were surprised with a elder lady & her loose dog. So do be aware that there can be people that show up since the lake is public (not on the property though). Nonetheless, we loved it and can’t wait to book again!!! Kevin, you are awesome & I am so grateful that you have opened up your property for the experience!!Amy V.

55A must visit for dogs of all temperments! You can pull up right to the water and walk your dog off leash for miles. Perfect training spot and perfect relaxing spot by the lake for those who have slightly reactive dogs or those who just want a nice secluded spot. Could not recommend more! We will definitely be back :)Shreya K.

55Unbelievable time at this Sniffspot. First time my reactive dog could truly adventure without any concerns of running into anything or anyone. Water is also clear and didn’t contain toxic algae this time of year!Ashley K.

55The spot was nice and clean. I followed the gps but had to go a bit past where the location was on the map to find the spot. But it was easy to find with the sniffspot sign.
The water was very calm, my babes enjoyed it. I took the first left I could once I entered the property and it took us right to the water. I didnt go hiking because... no. The water was the only reason for our visit. My babes had such a good time they slept on the whole drive back home. One of my pups can not be trusted and I had to keep her on a long lead... tht wasnt fun because she kept getting tangled... I think on purpose... so constantly untangling her was quite annoying.
I would visit this spot again. I love the water myself and it was nice to have the area all to ourselves.
The host was also quick to respond which was nice.Aiyana W.

55What a beautiful spot on the lake! We came here for Veterans Day. It was safe and so much fun to have all that natural space to ourselves. Lots to see. We hiked around and the dogs had the best time ever. We will definitely be back!Angelica W.

55We’ve been to quite a few sniff spots now and this might be our favorite. Host is super helpful (I’m terrible at directions) and accommodating. The dogs were so pumped.
Only one thing and important for reactive dogs: I did see a family with an on leash dog. They approached us right where my dogs were swimming. I’m unsure if they were trespassing or if they were allowed to be there, and luckily my dogs are *mostly* friendly. But it was a surprise to us and a little worrisome at first, because my dogs were overstimulated and thought it was play time. Their leash led dog got pretty defensive. So I don’t know if it was just a random encounter, but if your pup is aggressive, I feel it’s worth noting. But we will be back! Kayla M.

55Lots of land & space for our dog to roam around. Its location along the lakeshore is also great for dogs that like to swim. Will definitely recommend & plan to rebook.Roselia C.

55It was a bit difficult to find at first because I mistakenly went to the address listed rather than the one in the notes, but once we were there it was phenomenal.
My dogs don’t like other dogs, and unfortunately it makes having fun experiences difficult. But here we felt completely safe. The trails were lovely and my dogs loved the lake. Two hours would’ve been better to make more use of the trails, but my two were so happy to be off leash and just be dogs - running around, sniffing, swimming, and playing fetch. It was amazing.

FAQ about our Canyon Lake 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.
