55This was my first Sniffspot experience and wow just wow. My whippets loved the freedom to zoom down the mown paths and jump through the tall grass. But the pond was definitely their favorite!! We will definitely be back!Allie S.

55THE most amazing experience! Our first time . It was easy to access, wide open, terrrain to meet all tastes. A humongous pond that was the highlight of the morning. We'll be back...frequently. I uploaded a pic of my dog's view after the visit: black, the view of the insides of her eyelids since she is KNOCKED OUT!!!Evelyn A.

55If you’re thinking about coming here… DO IT! This spot has everything you could want. Lots of land to run and search, a beautiful pond to swim in, as well as the perfect spot for a picnic lunch and smells galore(according to the pups)… one suggestion tho, book longer than a hour… you’re not going to want to leave!Kassandra S.

55This is our 2nd time here and again it’s easily our pups favorite place to do whatever they’d like: sniff for the hour, explore on their own, run as fast as they can, play with toys, work on recall training, swim, etc. it’s wide open but with trees lining all sides so it feels like your little private haven. Will certainly visit many more times Sam M.

55Directions to property and gated field were spot on. Dogs had a great time running/exploring the tall grass, the wooded areas along the fence, and the pond. There were cows, horses, and a donkey beyond the one boundary, but neither my pups nor the livestock were overly interested in each other.
We got a great hour's worth. The weather was perfect. I walked about 2miles around the property per my Fitbit.

55Marc’s place is amazing!!!! There were a couple times I thought I’d lost my dog 😂 but he always came gallivanting back, frolicking through the tall grass (which he loves). We had the best morning and I’ve never seen my dog run so much, he’s usually a couch potato. I dare say we will be regular visitors!! Dell L.

55Fully fenced & absolute perfect place to go to let your pups explore. Our 2 Great Danes were able to run at full speed off leash. And so many smells to sniff when they got tired. The pasture is cut into "trails" leaving lots of tall grass to romp & explore. Woods on either side, a small pond, farm animals to see (from afar, they were in a separate fences area). Can't wait to return.laurie t.

55This place is so great—a giant field with mown paths for walking, some treed areas, and a pond. My dog loves it here—so many smells! Do consider boots and watch your step as this is, you know, nature. Casey C.

55My dog and I had a blast. There's so much space to run and explore and the little pond was a favorite. My dog did get out of the back corner of the fence, but he's bad with boundaries 🙄Megan S.

55Marc’s sniffspot is amazing and we will definitely be back. It was beautiful and had so much room for the dogs to roam and explore. Marc was responsive and even flexible on the time because we had a flat tire on the way. We will definitely be back. Taylor B.

FAQ about our Lancaster 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 Lancaster?
There are 24 dog water parks in the Lancaster area. The most popular dog water park is Marc's Private Dog Park In Lancaster. You can browse all of our dog water parks here.
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.
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. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
