55This was our first time trying out sniffspot and we decided to visit Choice Avocados for our doggy sniffari adventure. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The hosts are very friendly and thorough with providing detailed directions to the location. The stream trail was our favorite our pup loved running through the stream. It was his first time being able to explore off leash without having to worry about him running into any dogs. Which is a big relief for any dog owners who have reactive dogs. Overall, it was a great adventure for us and our pup. We'd definitely come back again! Thanh T.

55What a beautiful and quiet place to walk your dog! We had a long drive from East County San Diego to get there but it was worth it to walk in such a peaceful place. Our dog has very high prey drive so we kept him on leash but he had a blast and tuckered out before our hour was even up. What a special place and so grateful to have opportunities for reactive dogs walk and be dogs and yet to not worry about running into other dogs. We would absolutely return. Shelly A.

55Our dogs had a blast hiking on the trails and playing in the stream! We did an evening trip on a very hot day, which was perfect. Everything about this spot was awesome. The only drawback was our dog did find a rattlesnake behind a rock down y the water. Luckily it was sleeping and we saw it before she disturbed it, so all was well. The hosts had told us they'd never had anyone see a snake before, so I guess we were just lucky- but glad we were keeping the dogs close. Always a risk anywhere in CA!Keira M.

55we had a great time.
my dogs were tired and content by the end of it. felt like time went by extremely fast, even though we got the two full hours.
i would recommend having your dogs on a long lead if they don’t have great recall. (like i did with my doggos)
the hike was a bit steeper than i anticipated. but definitely doable. wear shoes with great grip!
the stream was nice and a great way to cool down.
also, be sure to check in within arrival! alma sent her husband to look for us after not hearing back from us, assuming we got lost on the way! host is very kind 🙂katy C.

55This spot was amazing! My senior pup loved it and had so much fun in the creek. Definitely get the additional creek hike it is worth it. Do want to note that the hike to the creek is quite steep in some places so make sure to bring good shoes. Also, if you have a dog that’s a flight risk bring a long line rather than letting them off leash- the spot is pretty secure, but I could see some dogs getting themselves into trouble if they weren’t used to being off lead. Definitely will be returning, my dog had the best day ever. Megan H.

55My husband and I had a wonderful time with our two dogters! This was their first off leash adventure, and we felt safe and protected. The hike wasn’t too long and there was plenty of shade. Our girls loved every second of playing in the stream! Would highly recommend taking your dogs here especially if your dogs are still a little reactive to other dogs.

Very helpful with everything since we got lost a bit but their directions were very well written, I just can’t read 😂 The actual stream was super cold, to cool off after the incredibly scenic route up and down the path.

55OVERALL: we had a great experience, and our dog loved the adventure! We'd go back during a cooler month, pick an early time before the sun gets too hot, and book no less than 2 hours + the stream hike. // The hosts were so helpful and great at communicating. We booked the area for 2-hours and added on the stream hiking. They provided easy-to-follow instructions with images on how to get to the creek. I am not sure where we would have explored if we did not add on the stream hiking. I was imagining 20 acres with areas of open land for my dog to run, but we experienced long trails with wide walking paths (still great, just not what I imagined). Our dog is very curious so we keep him on a long leash, and I'm glad we did because in addition to some steep cliff edges along the walking path (which he would have likely tried to walk down if he saw/heard something that caught his attention), there were a couple of squirrels and lizards along our walking path and even little frogs by the creek. There is some shade as you walk/hike to the creek, but there is also lots of direct sun. We booked a 2-hour visit from 11am-1pm in August and would go again but not when it's so hot and likely during a cooler month/earlier time. It took about 15-20 minutes to get down to the creek, and I fell twice on my butt when going down the steep hills, mostly because my dog was on a leash slightly pulling, but I still wanted to share so that others know there are some steep areas. Once we got to the creek it was so peaceful and relaxing. There was plenty of shaded seating options, a picnic bench, hammock, and my dog loved exploring in the creek. We packed a lunch, ate by the creek, and relaxed there until it was time to go. Returning took about 20-25 minutes, and I agree with other reviews that while it's a relatively short hike, it's very steep in some parts and combined with the heat and sun, made some parts strenuous. I'd recommend hiking boots or walking shoes with good traction; we are in our late 30s and wore our old running shoes. This was our first SniffSpot, we loved how big of an area we were able to rent to ourselves and are very thankful it's available - we all enjoyed it and will be back! Ashley D.

55This was my first Sniffspot and my dogs and I loved it. I booked two hours with the stream hike from 9:30-11:30am in August. It took us about 15-20 minutes to get to the stream and about 20-25 minutes to get back to the car. It was warm but it was much cooler by the stream. There were some steep points on the trail. I have a senior dog with a bad hind leg/hips but she made it up and down the trail just fine. I had my dogs leashed until we got to the stream. I strongly recommend wearing hiking or trail shoes for steep points on the trail and bringing sandals for the stream.
I really appreciate how clean the area is. One of my dogs has a bad habit of eating foreign objects from the ground so it was nice not having to worry about that. There are no trash cans so I disposed our doggy bags at a nearby gas station. Next time, I'll bring some heavy duty sealed bags to collect everything and dispose at a later time (and to help with the smell in the car lol).
I was worried about getting lost on the way there, but my Apple Maps was able to navigate me there even without service. The hosts also provided detailed directions to the trail and stream. They were easy to follow and super helpful.
Overall, my dogs and I really enjoyed this place and we'll definitely be back. Stacy T.

55This spot was the perfect location! Spent 1.5 hour there and didn’t see another soul, very private and remote - made it comfortable for us to off leash our pup. We ended up doing the Stream Trail last minute and Alma was a gracious host in communicating information and switches. For those with limited mobility, the Stream Trail is definitely a hike with some inclines and declines to navigate so bring a walking stick!Chelsea M.

55Greetings from Long Beach and yes, this spot is worth the trek!
What an incredible gift this place is for us reactive pup guardians.
As others have stated, yes to the Creek add on. Yes, there are steep parts and you need trail boots or shoes.
In August, I was glad to be leaving at 11:30 instead of arriving because it was quite hot on the path with little shade but the creek is a delightfully cool and shady spot.
For those mentioning the fee, we all get to determine what is valuable or “worth the price” for ourselves.
I will tell you, though, that part of your investment is exceptional, exemplary customer service. The hosts work to insure you know where you are going with clear directions and photo markers they send ahead of time so you have them even without cell service.
They insure you arrive and leave and as someone who went by herself with a reactive dog, that’s helpful. I was alone but not on my own.
The hosts care for their property and it shows.
Well worth the drive, time, and fees.
Do yourself a favor. Treat yourself to two hours. You’ll be glad for the respite time with your pup.
You get to be present and not looking for triggers while sitting along alongside a creek.
There’s a lot we can’t do with our pups. But this, this-we get to do and we know not to take it for granted.
So lucky.
Thanks, Choice Avocados! Heather G.

FAQ about our Cherry Valley 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 Cherry Valley?
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.
How much do Sniffspot dog water parks cost?
Dog water parks in the Cherry Valley area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog water park is Cozy Yard Friendly Owner near Greenwood. The most expensive dog water park is Cozy Yard Friendly Owner near Greenwood. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
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.
