55Such a well-kept, beautiful space to explore trails and play with the pup. We had an awesome time! Everything was well explained. When we first got there and started walking to the Zoomie area 2 German Shepards ran towards us barking, but they were behind a fence, maybe being walked in the adjacent DNR land. Our dog isn't reactive but maybe for those who are, that would have been triggering. Something to keep in mind, there are parts of the property that back up against publicly used land. We would totally come back here any day!Sarah S.

55An amazing stop! Our dogs had a great time and our lab was so excited for the water. The trail was clearly labeled and it was easy to find our way back to parking. Definitely want to come back again!Avery A.

55The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I appreciated the signage and postings along the property to let you know where to go / not go. As a city gal, I totally passed up the street to turn on the first time. Oops!
The host is really communicative which is always great. I heard a dog bark one time (literally one bark) and I am pretty sure I heard a person say hello - but I called Virgil to me and kept moving.
Lots to smell, and is just like a trail except it’s private :)
We will definitely make the drive up again some time! Virgil had a blast. We were there about 90 minutes and easily could have spent another hour at least. There were tables and chairs throughout the sniffspot. Athena J.

55This was a perfect spot for our very scent oriented dog. He was non stop for our 1 1/2 hour visit. The combination of old growth forest and meadow, with a stream and pond thrown in, were dog heaven! We appreciated the setting, toys, and the mosquito repellant! Nice touches everywhere. The signage was the best we've seen. Tracy J.

55Lovely property with hiking trails. Not strenuous for unseasoned hikers, but the trails go up/down hills and across a creek. There is a dry path over the creek if your dog will follow and not lead. The zoomie area is big enough to run around but maybe not for the chuck it runners. There were a handful of chairs about too. My pup found all the ponds/wet muck spots so bring a towel. Heard some people voices and saw a horse pup was alert to, but all in all pretty quiet. Fun area to explore! Thank you!Lyndsey K.

55Nice secluded trails and an open field area that the owners provide balls and bubbles with a seating area. The owner also had a small campfire going at the entrance that had smores kits on one of the chairs. We will definitely be back. Kaylynn P.

55My friend and I took 3 Std. Schnauzers to this site on 5/31. What a wonderful treat! Beautiful entry into a park like setting and a Doggie Disneyland! Plenty of well kept trails leading to a large off leash area. Bonus was meeting the neighbor's horse! We will put Black Pond on our list of places to visit this summer. Delightful!Jayne W.

55The location was stunning with tons of different types of landscape for my dog to explore. We've been to a few different spots and this was definitely her favorite. There were lots of toys, a trash can, poop bags, pretty much everything a pet parent could want. The trails were well marked, and the instructions were clear, which is always helpful. Ashley S.

55Such a fun spot! We started by exploring the woods and visiting Club Zoomies. This spot is perfectly set up, with tables and chairs in key places so the humans can take a break too. We finished in the pond, and OH MY DOG—the pups had a blast running through the water. Our puppy even swam for the first time 😊. We’ll be back!Rachel P.

FAQ about our Coeur d'Alene dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?

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.
