55Ryan’s place is absolutely perfect! We were greeted when we got there and Ryan gave us a tour of all the amenities. Our pups loved being able to swim and we loved that lifejackets are provided for the pups. There were treats, water, and lots of toys for the pups to play with. Ryan’s yard is huge and we loved running around playing fetch. There were even lawn games! The pool is extra clean and the perfect size and depth! We will definitely be back!Kaitlynn M.

55We loved our visit! Ryan has been super communicative since we made the reservation and he also met with us at the beginning to show us around. Our dogs were a bit scared with the pool as it was their first time, but still had some fun there. They loved exploring and running around the huge yard. We definitely plan to visit again! Angelli F.

55Absolutely five stars! If I could I would give it 10 stars. I couldn’t ask for a better place or better host. Ryan is so accommodating and an Angel of a person. My dog was able to run around freely and safely for the first time in over 4 years. The smile on my dogs face was absolutely priceless. I cannot express the gratitude for this little slice of dog heaven. Thanks again Ryan for opening your heart and your place to us.Mona B.

55Everything was wonderful! Nothing I could write here would do it justice. Ryan was very communicative prior to our visit. When we got there he gave us an overview of everything. He had everything we possibly could have needed. Both of our dogs had a blast! They are both 110lb great danes and the xl life vests fit them perfectly, with plenty of room to expand more for a larger dog. The yard was clean and well maintained. After swimming our dogs loved running through the large yard.
We will definitely be back.Lexi W.

55My husband, four year old son, and dog Cassius had a wonderful time at Ryans location. The place is perfect for dogs to get the sense of freedom to explore without having to worry about encounters with other dogs. We have been wanting to try to take our lab swimming in a safe environment and are grateful for this opportunity. The pool temperature was perfect and very clean. While our dog did not try the agility set up, it was cool to see and something we would like to try the next time. The hosts were very gracious and welcoming. Absolutely recommend this experience.

55Had a great time with my puppy Max.
Ryan was the perfect host. He made us feel very welcomed. Max got to run full speed playing ball and enjoy swimming. The agility course was nice also.
This was perfect as my pup is still socializing.
We will definitely be back!

FAQ about our McCullom 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.

How do I know if a dog water park works for my 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.
