55Even better than our last visit! When we were here earlier in the summer, it was hard to access the creek. This time there was an area where the grass was cut back and even a nice bench and fire ring. I noticed the owner had a pop up tent and portable toilet (a bucket with a seat and trash bags) sitting out. I’d stopped to use the bathroom beforehand but it was nice to know it was there just in case! And obviously with kids that would be helpful too.
My dog had a wonderful morning just playing in the creek and chasing a few ball along the mowed trails. it’s definitely a favorite Sniffspot. Leah B.

55We brought our husky mix puppy here to check it out. Quickly realized his older sisters would love it too. AND easy for them to navigate around with their arthritis and vision issues. We'll be back with all 3 soon! Jenna F.

55This is truly a gem! Nice grassy trails through a prairie with wildflowers. The river is beautiful and my dog loved splashing around. My dog is not reliable off leash in new spaces so we enjoyed it with a long lead. Easy to locate the property and parking area as well. Can’t wait to return - worth the drive from the cities! Jenn H.

55The map is great! We went around 1pm so the mosquitos were really minimal, even by the water. There are multiple bank entrances along the creek. The current is very slow but just perfect enough to keep grass moving. It's very clear and clean to the bottom! For a gigantic field and trail, it is remarkably clean. No garbage, poop, etc. but Sophie did manage to find a dead gopher and roll in it, haha, so if you're pup eats those kinds of things, be on the lookout. Will definitely be back! Laura M.

55This sniffspot was the perfect place to let my sweet reactive pup have a little fun and freedom without worrying about other dogs. Bear had a blast splashing around in the river and sniffing in the brush nearby. Sarah S.

55I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. Amazing! So thankful the host opens this up to sniffspot. There are open fields for dogs to run, and a great deal of trails in tall grass near the river for smells. Lots of space for running. Dannyalle B.

55The best hidden gem! Whenever I post videos of this place on Instagram, I get so many messages asking where it is. What a dream to have it all to ourselves! We love being able to access the ice cold and clear moving water during the summer heat. My pups run up and down the stream playing and it’s been a great spot to get my puppy comfortable swimming. I also appreciate the space on land for them to run around so I can practice their recalls. A summer staple for us now!Christina J.

55Amazing spot! I messed up with access yy missing the first gate. Make sure you take the 1st gate you see, not the ones that the directions give you and then immediately take a left between the main road and the barn to get to the open field. Truly heaven for me and my dog!Paige A.

FAQ about our Clear 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 Clear 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 81 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 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.
